Hey i was looking in my glove box to install the ipod interface and i noticed a sort of dummy key, it has no electrics in it, just sort of a plastic shell, anyone know what it is for? Thanks.

When you buy the car new you get the two normal key fobs and a little plastic key(same shape as the metal part when you unclip your key from your fob). This you supposed to keep in your wallet and if you ever loose your keys you can clip the plastic key into the dummy fob in the glove box and still drive the car.
