    This came with my keys and remotes. Nobody seems to know what it is (with me trying to explain it over the phone).

    There are 2 of them taped together. Is it the lost key to the DaVinci Code?

    Tools to unlock the radio so it can be pulled out? Normally you insert them left and right in slots that are visible when the front is off.

    Agree. Radio removal tools. The radio slides into a mounting bracket, and you need those keys, one on either side, to release the radio and slide it out of the sleeve.

    You all are correct! It's a dual purpose wrench.
    There is a small refrigerator inside the radio (that's why the radio needs power all the time) that holds tiny cans of beer. Not in the documentation because of the potential legal entanglements of open container, etc. The one end of the wrench opens up the radio for refrigerator access, and the other end of the wrench opens up the beer!
    SEE?
    You guys didn't think I knew nothin - HAH!

    Those are the radio removal tools for the radio, yes. One thing youll want to do is take those as well as the card for the radio code OUT of the glove box, and store them in a safe place where you wont lose them. When they are in the glove box you are supplying the tools and info for a thief to yank your radio in about 10 seconds.

    Normally, we see those tools with their Devin bodies. How rare to see an original, unmolested one!

    You guys have it all wrong.. it's to remove your passenger's fingers from the dash board after test drives :)

    just kidding... yeah, it's to remove the Becker head unit (aka radio).

    While this could help you with conquering the Davinci code, those are in fact the radio removal keys!

    Kevin, did you ever identify what the prize was?

    BTW, the radio front does not have to be removed to pull out the radio.

    Your prize was mailed out today. Since it is in Canada and I do not have a customs form, my mailperson was not sure if it would work...but we tried.
