Need help identifying two sensors

Hi folks,

I need help identifying two sensors inside the battery 🔋compartment on my '07 MCS R56-N14. Anyone out there know what they are? Here is a photo of them.

The one on the left next to the battery is A406 (power supply fuel panel). Hat tip Bentley, ECL-26.

For the item on the right, I suspect a dealer installed component, something like an alarm system. In my version of the Bentley manual there is nothing pictured in that location. Whatever it is, it's an optional item.

You could always disconnect it and scan the car to see what code comes up.

Ahhh, so you may think I have an alarm system on my '07 MCS? I didn't know I even had one. How will I know if I do have one? Can I use it? I did notice that red lens sitting right on top of the tachometer but never lit up the entire time I own this car. I would like to see that red lens light up once in awhile. Can I make it happen?

Many thanks

Alarm or something the dealer installed. If you really need to know, run the car by your local MINI dealer and ask the service writer.
