Used car: dealer or warranty fix?

Hi I had a used car delivered 2 days ago 2016 Peugeot, £9k
There are a couple of small things, it had a few large scratches they’d tried to buff out but didn’t mention (like 10cm) & a quiet, but odd noise in the engine, I rang the dealer & he said book it in locally then call the (gold) warranty to get the repair authorised, so I’ve booked it in my local garage next week.
Yesterday I connected my phone to the car audio & the computer screen turns off constantly; making it impossible to answer the phone, music turns off every 5 mins or so. I read there is an incompatibility with the car & iPhone XRs.
Any advice? I could just change my phone, but that’s not a cheap option either.

Did you buy this car as a totally remote purchase?
If so, you have the right to reject in 14 days:

No-one can comment on the "odd noise" unless there is a more precise indication of what is actually wrong.0 -
You bought a 5yo car sight-unseen.
Yes, DSR provides you with a get-out. But isn't it just a lot easier to actually do the research before purchase?0
