Congrats, and I had the exact same question about the little key in the glove box when I got my car

It's the emergency key. There are 2 parts, the little plastic wallet key and the holder that the wallet key goes in to be able to start the car with it.

You can use the wallet key to open the doors if the smart key dies or malfunctions, then insert the wallet key with the plastic holder into the ignition slot to start the car.

I also questioned about that key holder in glove compartment when my car arrived, I was told however to never leave the plastic key inside, I still don't understand it, anywhow, nice combo you have there, show us some pics when you can and enjoy the ride.

Congrat on the new car! to add to your excitement, I believe you can reprogram the ECU to underpower the car whenever the valet key is used. I know someone did this to his R8 (he said it was part of the tunning program rather than VAG COM).

You can get the DRL's set to stay on, many of us have had it done.

Congrats on the car! Have any pics??

As for the plastic key in the glove box. That is actually the Valet key holder. If you place your emergency key inside the key found in glove box, then give it to the valet. This will prevent them from hurting your baby, accessing the trunk, or unlocking the glove box. If you have a vallet button in the gloves box, be sure to push that as well.

enjoy the car!
