Default What is this for?

Rooting around in the boot of my bugeye and came across
this little keyring but have no idea what its for. It has a button
on one side which when pressed opens it up to reveal two small
squares of sponge. It's obviously to hold something but what?


I also found a couple of locking wheel nut adapters and a piece of paper
with instructions for said wheel nuts which also has a four digit number
which says it is the car's key number for ordering replacement keys?

Could be the code for ordering a replacement locking key?

As for the rest I have no idea

On the standard radio, the bottom corner has a block of 4 buttons, this is removable by a little slide switch to release.

You remove it so it is unusable if somebody stole the radio. The box is to store that part.

This is the block, bottom right:

Excellent, that's cleared that up. Just a shame I don't have the original
stereo as the previous owner installed a xtrons dvd unit which is
temperamental to say the least.

I kind of prefer original equipment, but maybe that's down
to my first experience with this crappy Chinese unit I have
at the moment.

I have a cabinet full of cassettes, even got my Walkman out the
other day to listen to a few.

Then again I also have a stack of vinyl but sadly no player at the moment.

USB record deck.
Connect to PC and digitise the lot, including the scratches for that 'authentic' effect.

Anyway, I wonder how much that little box you found would fetch on ebay ?
