I bought a new 2015 RTS and it does NOT come with the button to open the frunk like my 2011 RT Limited. Maybe that is an additional option but I do not have it. I have to open the frunk with my key.

The frunk switch was eliminated for 2014. Sounds like no switch for the 15 also.

Electronic frunk switch has been a mystery since 2014 models or so. Mine did not come equipped with one but it was shown as an option in the catalog. I tried to order through the 2014 catalog and was told discontinued and no longer available.

I perused the online catalog for 2015 and could find no mention of the switch.

It has been posted elsewhere this was due to a safety issue. Someone released the parking brake instead of opening the frunk. They reported it to NHTSA and that seems to be the end of the era.

I used and like(d) the frunk switches on both the 2010 and 2011. Have learned to live without on the 2014.

I had the frunk switch on my 2010. It only worked when the engine was running.
On the new Spyders, you can open up the frunk with the key without turning the engine off. Simply push the key down and turn it. I've found I can release the seat and get access to the gas tank, also with the engine on.
Gassing the Spyder with the engine running sounds like a bad idea to me.
