It's a strap to connect to the front hatch when partially open. Makes it easier to get access without fully removing

Duh... thx guys. Also found the air compressor which I hope I NEVER have to use! Looks like it would take two days to fill a tire anyway!!

I didn't know what it was for either (asked salesman), so you're not the first one. And I read the entire manual, but guess I skipped that part. He he. I was surprised to see we have factory rear fog light (center part of the clear reverse light below spoiler) and euro park features. I also don't remember reading how to remove the fake key (entry&drive) without the rod on the inside left fuse-box lid. For those who might not know this, when ignition is on, remove fob from perimeter, turn key off, then turn on and off twice more. When turning key off the second time, you'd hear a 'click', then you can remove the fake key. Tried it yesterday, and it worked. Hope this helps.

That yellow thing is to smack people upside the head with when they use the word 'frunk'.

This confuses me.. European spyders have entry and drive?.. What does this process do??

Sorry, forgot to say I don't own a Spyder; it was just a comment about that option. Spyders/GT4s don't offer many options (that's why they didn't appeal to me), and E&D is probably one of them.
