I still don't get the point of that hidden key. It will unlock your door, but that's it. Still can't start it. I guess it could be considered handy if you wanted to wait inside the car instead of out lol

Not worth the effort, which results in gimmicky at best if you ask me.

I've never done it, but I'm pretty sure you can use it to start the car if the battery in the fob is dead.

There's a slot on the bottom left of the dash, under the traction control disable, into which you can insert the key and get the car started.

Evidently it serves a purpose.

Didn't realize there was a spot for it.
Ok, apparently not as redundant as I thought!

Edit: went and tried, yep it works. Turns out I did know what slot you were talking about, and had wondered word it was for! Just push the key in then hit start button and fired right up.
