Rustlestiltskin Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 A family member found this key recently and asked me to help her identify it. I’m pretty stumped because I have little key knowledge so I hoped that somebody on here could share some info on the subject. Thanks in advance. Pic of key. http://i64.tinypic.com/2qvhabl.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I feel like it looks similar to a code scanner key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectragod Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Looks similar to some of those "alarms" car dealers would put on, they would interrupt the ignition when removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 2 hours on Google Image search has yielded me the following results. It is USB, no doubt about it (though... everyone knew that...)The damn thing has (or should have) data of some sort on it. If you are brave enough, plug it into a computer and see whats on it.HUGE WARNING!!! DO NOT HAVE THE COMPUTER YOU PLUG IT INTO CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET IN ANY WAY! Some USB keys have software on them that "phones home" and can compromise your system.The hole on the key implies that it belongs on a key ring, indicating that it might just be a novelty item. My conclusion? - It's to low quality and lacking in ANY makers mark to be for any serious business. - The USB side of it looks like it would be a 4/8/or 16 GB Size (If I had to guess) - The mysterious nature of someone "finding" it out of the blue is even more perplexing. Final guess.... It's a cheap China-Pakistana-Land USB drive 4GB Model Contents of the drive? Uncle Dave's self shot porn collection from his "experimental" years.

You cared far more about this thing than literally anyone including the OP. That's not a slight towards you. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentStateTsi Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Haltech does something similar with their software. When you buy an ecu they send the program on a key shaped usb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeto67 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yes, I've seen similar keys and they're always for security systems -- pools, clubs, etc. Too many pins for USB, right? I had that same thought, too many and oddly spaced. Whatever lock it fits it's proprietary to that lock. I do think it's electronic, I don't think it has data storage, too thin. Might work like one of those old "chipped" keys from the early 90's. From the shape alone I would venture it is a door or a house key of some sort.

greg1647545532 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Fuck, driving range, that's what I couldn't think of. I had a key just like that to get balls out of the machine in the 90s. Everything's RFID now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
