What is this? Key type thing

This thing has it's own clip that it sits in in the glove box. It's the same size as a normal key but it won't actually clip in to the ignition socket.







Any ideas on what it is?

You slot in your 3rd plastic emergency key and then you can use it to start the car I think.

The emergency key stil has an embedded transponder I assume?

Ah right, cheers guys. I bought my car second hand and it only came with 2 main keys unless there's the emergency key hiding in with the other paperwork.

I could never figure out what the hell this thing was for
