Hi, I'm a newbie and having searched the forums can't find any similar query to mine so here goes. I have bought a nice a160, no problems at all but I have been puzzled by the keys. The handbook doesn't mention them and the dealer seems to know nothing that doesn't earn him money.
I have two of the black flip out keys and also two stubby things one red and the other black. The red one has a sticker attached saying not to use it more than150 times.
Each of these two weird "keys" have four copper connections on them and look as though they should be plugged into something and not for the want of searching I can find no holes for them.
Any ideas please, Old Geezer

Thats the coding for the alarm in these smaller keys.

They rarely get used. The location of the socket for them is either in the glove box or drivers side footwell by the acellerator pedal.

Don't mess about with them as it can cause problems.
