Default Upgrading Volvo S60 2014

So I have Volvo S60 T5 2014 and it has little features, all it has are [Keyless drive/entry, heated seats, rain sensor, TFT screen, power seats]
So I want to ask, is it possible to add things like [start-stop fuction while in traffic, remote start, Volvo On-Call service (to use with mobile phone)] that dont require buy parts that cost alot but are programmed and is it worth paying for those to have?
Also, it doesnt have Park sensors or a camera and I would want either of those because of tight parking spaces in my country, so is it worth adding both or park sensors are enough? Also, should i get them at a dealer or i can go to off-market, because i want the sensors to be programmed to show on my Volvo screen and not some external device.

Again, is it worth to add things like folding mirrors, because my car doesnt have them or the adaptive cruise control or the camera on mirror to have more functions, or are they to epensive to add post production and not worth the price for what they give?

Now on other topic, the reverse parking mirror folding fuction is cool, apart that mirrors tilt so low that i cant see the back of the car only the sides of car which dont help in reverse at all.
So can a programmer change the tilt angle of the mirrors, so they only tilt half way?

And are there any upgrades both physical or electronic (programmed) that are worth/must getting?

Thanks

the only feature you've cited with value in my opinion is the back up camera. There are after market versions and your car may be able to have that added on via a dealer. The rest of the stuff where there's computer integrations, motors,switches etc would be very costly to add in assuming it can be done - at that point you'd be better off buying another car with the features you want.
