DB9 Small key?

[zafod]

I have a small key that came with my DB9. Does this fit something in the car? Thanks

What year is your car? Certainly doesn’t look like anything OEM from AM to me. I guess it could be a battery isolate switch key, or perhaps an exhaust valve switch key, maybe the key to some security device you’ve yet to find? It looks more like someone’s front door key or a garage door key to me though. Sorry, that’s not much help really. I guess the obvious answer is to ask the dealer or seller and see what they can offer you as an explanation. BRM.

I agree with Minglar - that's nothing Aston Martin supplied. It looks to small/fragile to be a front door key, so I'd guess it could be a small electrical isolator (it looks a bit like the old keys cars used before seering column locks) that may be an aftermarket fitment (which could have been removed) or the previous owner who traded it in simply forgot to remove a key for something like a small, cheap padlock from the key-ring whan he handed the car over.

I'd just set it to one side in case at a later date you come across a lock hidden somewhere in the car

2007. I bought it privately - I'll message the seller (should have thought of that first!)

Looks like a Krooklock key or similar.

My bet is a garage door key.

Lock for a car cover?

Some have cables that go underneath the car that tie into a loop around the bottom of the cover.

Key for a different locking fuel cap ?

That could be a locking wheel nut key, but looks like a garage door, security post or steering wheel lock key to me. Some aftermarket wheels and locking wheel nuts have that style of key but probably not on an AM.
