That was while in transit. Ignore it.

This is a connection which is used only while the cars are transported to the dealerships for first sale. The dealers are required to disconnect it. Exactly what it does is not entirely clear to me.

Those two holes on the bottom center of that picture would have a bracket and a sensor there. That connector would connect to that sensor if that car was equipped with that option. What is it?

It feels like some sort of GPS locator arrangement. Maybe they want to know where the cars are
and when they are delivered.

This is the rear yaw sensor. That connector would be for the CATS (electronic shock absorbers) suspension which the original poster does not have.



This is the front yaw sensor that’s mounted on the center of the firewall.
