Yup, it's for an aftermarket alarm system. You plug it in, then unplug it quickly and start the car.

 

Interesting. That's not what that particular key is for but it's interesting that there are some like it used for other purposes.

Any other known uses for keys like these?

I'm asking because a number of people had told me they have never seen anything like it and I am wondering if it really is that rare/unusual/whatever.

 

Kobi, where did you find that key at?

 

I've never seen one.

 

It's on the end of my key ring.

(Thank you, I'll be here all week!)

 

Well then what's it for?

 

A door.

 

The key to the doors of the Kobiashi Institute?

 

Something like that.

Not something like that.

 

Who cares?

 

I've seen that kind of key at some hotels

 

Not you evidently.



Not the key to my place, however it is the key to a place.


Cool. It's more common than I thought.

 

I'm with Roush on this one. I owned a LeBaron Convertible awhile back and I had a similar key for the security system on it.

 

Yeah I know, but that's where I've seen one. Maybe it opens his vault that's hiding behind his Renoir art.
