It's for the trunk, and only the master key can lock/unlock it. So if you use valet, you give the attendant the valet keys but if you already locked the trunk using that hole the valet key won't be able to open it.

isnt it the same key that turns the ignition? i only have one key

Yep, same key. It enables/disables the trunk popper.
That's why there's a keyhole over the folding rear seat - so the valet can't get in. So you can store your guns and drugs and contraband back there when you go to a fancy restaurant.

its the key to horsepower and torque.........you haven't unlocked it yet?????? j/k

yeah if you bought it used sometimes they don't give you a valet key cause most ppl lose them

and if they really wanted to get into your trunk all they have to do is pull off that cover and pull the trunk release
