what's this in the trunk?

[Mark T-TB]

I guess that I've been delinquent... and never paid attention to what was in the trunk until today.
I knew that there was no spare or jack... figured there was a can of goop.

Today I took a look - and now hoping to find out what is what.
It looks like a 12V compressor with an option to shoot the goop into a flat tire?
I'm presuming that the eye bolt would be a "tow hook" for the front bumper?
... and right now I don't have a guess about the yellow plastic pieces...

Any help appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Correct. It's your tire inflation kit.

The yellow blocks are spring spacers to lock out the springs for tiedown/transport. They have no purpose after the owner buys it, toss em out.

Must be the HP option for the yellow shipping blocks? My tow hook was delivered with the owner's kit, months after I took delivery.

thanks guys.
I'll toss the yellow blocks and consider that aftermarket spare tire kit.
FWIW, my car is "non-HP".

Does that "foam block" holding the tire inflation kit serve any other purpose? The shape seems pretty elaborate for simply holding a rectangular box...

The tire inflation kit does have a shelf life. Make sure it’s still good, or you may need to toss it as well and replace it.

Sell the yellow coil spring blocks… someone with a collectible S550 will want them to keep…. Why? Because people threw them away and you can’t buy them anywhere IF you’re wanting everything that was with the car when and as delivered off the transport.
