Default Question on spoiler button

When looking at a Spyder with sport chrono plus, what function does the spoiler up/down button do on a 2011 Spyder?? The Spyders have a fixed rear spoiler, and I don’t recall this button in my last Spyder. Isn’t this where the sport exhaust button generally goes? Thanks

The spoiler button has no functionality at all. Mine is in the same location - I’m pretty sure they all are.

My sport exhaust button is located where your Sport Plus button is.

Thanks Dave, I guess I just don’t recall having that on the last car.

also note: in addition to a non-functioning, not-necessary spoiler activation button on my 2011 Spyder, I have said button on my 2008 C4 S with the factory aerokit, so another non-functioning, not necessary button. I think it's cool.

My ‘99 996 factory Aerokit car has a non-functioning spoiler button as well

The Spoiler button was deleted on the later Spyders, all the early ones had it. Mine is a Feb 2011 build and doesn’t have the button. Steering wheel color also changed from silver to black part way through production.
