Default C6 key?

What do you actually use the key for? Just the glove box and console? It's my understanding that there are no exterior door locks and no keyed ignition, so why even carry the key?

To get in if you leave the fob in the car.

There is an exterior lock for the trunk as a physical backup in case the normal entry system fails.

The key will work just above the rear licience plate. It will open the trunk so you can open the drivers door.
Hope this helps.
