I have something similar in my valver. Looks like a key fits into it but none of the keys I got with the car fit!

Its a toggle switch which allows you to cancel the 15seconds self imobalisation of the alarm. Its also called VALAT Mode.

One position you the alarm imobalises after 15secs

Position 2 the alarm will not imobalise until the doors are locked.

Its really Usefull when working on the engine or electrical side as you dont have to keep disarming the imobaliser to start the engine.
