Default start key question

When I recieved my '86 4+3 as usual it came with 2 door keys and 2 ignition keys. Each of the ignition keys have the little chip on them (VAT).
I also got one other key the same as a start key although this key does not have a chip on it of the GM balck plastic.

Whats this key for? It doesnt start the car.
was wondering if it was like some kind of reset thing.

Don't know... 2 thoughts...
Did someone re-key the center console lock ?
I have an '88 Vert so I have no other storage compartments...
Don't know if your '86 has any others or not that might have been re-keyed to match the ignition.

Does the non VAT key work in the ignition and start the car?
A previous owner might have done the VATS by-pass and just gave your the VATS keys along with the non-VAT key that will now start your car...
