Help identifying some components in frunk

Hi all,

I am trying to tidy up my frunk and need some help identifying some items. First is this, which is sitting besides the fuse holders. No idea what it is and where it's meant to be mounted. I'm guessing it shouldn't be just sitting there not mounted to anything? Might help to lwtcyou know my car is RHD




Secondly I've got two bolt holes next to the smugglers box, which are missing bolts. Does anyone know what goes there?

First pic looks like the alarm flat connector. It has a tab with a hole for a bolt/screw.
You need to put it back under the fuse box lower bolt.
You need to remove the fuse box plastic cover, then remove the fuse panel lower mounting screw, insert the connector tab underneath and put the screw back on.

Thanks for that. Wasn't actually aware my car had an alarm. It was not on the option list.

There should be a key lock switch on the side of driver's door. Can you see it? It controls switching on and off of the alarm. Sort of PIA system as when you want to switch the alarm off, you need to open the door just enough to insert the key, but not so far as to switch on the interior lights, otherwise that makes the alarm go on.

Nothing like that in my car. Haven't seen it before. Unless it was removed.

It may have been a motion sensor mounted for alarm or other component. Not stock. I removed aftermarket alarm on my 85. Huge pile of spaghetti wiring and other stuff not expertly installed.

It's definately factory holes. My car is RHD. I've seen other cars with two bolts there. I'm assuming securing something underneath?
