Oh, probably not one that people here would be familiar with. It showed up briefly on eBay. I contacted the seller and went to go see it since it is relatively close. Put deposit down and it was taken off of eBay.
Mine is a January 2011 Build (probably one of the last 2011's) and doesn't have the spoiler button. It also has the PSM Off Button instead of the car/tire track symbol.
Ok... so both (no spoiler and traction control) were added very late in production.
Thanks Eduardo!
I think that whether the spoiler button is present or not depends more on what options the car has - from my observation, it seems that Porsche has a limited number of configurations for the console buttons, not helped by the different shapes on either end of the panel, so the spoiler button is used as a 'filler' where necessary.

I have seen early Spyders with all kind of options (with & without PSE, etc) and they all had the useless Spoiler button. By the time Spyders were built in late MY2011's, they eliminated that 'Spoiler' button yet kept it on the regular Boxsters. So that theory may have applied early in MY2011 when the Spyder was introduced but not later on! By then, they had several different sizes of the longer/wider 'filler' blanks that were used on each specific model! The cost of these blanks do not exceed 5 cents from their supplier! They only kept it on PTS cars done in 'Riviera Blue'...apparently!
1) 2011 - bought in 9/10 .
2) Carrara White
3) CF bucket seats!!!
4) Bi-xenons.
5) Sport Chrono w/out PCM.
6) Sound package+
7) AC
8) Manual, of course
9) Cup holders. Yeah...
10) Bluetooth. Probably won't be all that practical with the top and the exhaust I've planned for it.
11) Universal audio interface
12) Roll bar painted exterior color. Won't make me go any faster but maybe good for some brownie points.
13) Clear bra on entire hood and fenders, i.e. not just the front 1/2.
14) Clear side lights.
15) FVD Brombacher cat-back exhaust. Will be for sale!
16) GT3 alcantara shifter and e-brake.
17) 7,6xx miles at this point. I'm sure it'll be closer to 8,000 when all's said and done.
18) Maybe some others that I've missed.
I should finally be getting it next week or the week after. Good luck on your search.

The bluetooth works fine as long as the windows are up and you're not moving at speeds above 60 mph with the top off. It's definitely better than holding your phone to your ear while trying to steer and shift gears. The best part is that the person on the other end will have a harder time hearing at higher speeds which means the conversation will be cut short and you can enjoy the car without interruption.

lol.. I like the way you think!
I've tried a bluetooth earpiece in my car and it was not easy to have conversations. Fabspeed race exhaust with the top and windows up. With the top down, forget it.. though I've never tried with the windows up and wind deflector in place. Hmm..
