Doesn't work for the airbag deactivate.

Roofbars sounds like a possibility.

I think airbag deacitvation is the blade in the fob as is the child locks on the rear doors. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

It looks to me like the key for removing the front and rear light guards.

One like that came with my guards!

Paul - you are spot on. Smile Thumbs Up

Checked and verified - the allen key does in fact fit the guards.
