    Hello All,

    My dad's 328 came with this (see attached photo), can anyone advise what it is for? The car came with an aftermarket alarm so my guess is that it is related to that.

    Looks like an immobilizer key (my 328 had a similar one til we ripped it out and put in a conventional ignition). There might be a receiving slot for it on the dash near the key, or it might have been removed. Does the car start without the device?

    Yep, car starts without it, and have never had to use it. The immobiliser fitted when we bought the car worked off a different key and was connected to the alarm, so if it is an immobiliser key it must be from an older unit that was pulled out long ago.

    Not uncommon, many alarms and immobilizers were spliced into the ignition circuits back in the day ;)

    Didn't come from Ferrari, added either by the previous owner or the selling dealer.
