Default Question for those with factory wheel locks

so I found the container that holds the wheel locks in my trunk area, its holding the lugs that the locks replaced, but the "KEY" is not in the container. I'm figuring the locks were installed at The Port, so maybe you guys have found the special tool to remove the wheel lock? Is it hidden in the trunk area near the spare?

Mine didn't come with wheel locks. Check your window price sticker, if the floor mats and USB cables are mentioned there, it should show wheel lock options if you have them installed.

Since we are digging back under the spare, what is this tool for, I spent an hour looking at it and can't think of anything

I was just making a guess, have no clue for real. It sounded good though right?

Checked another forum, someone mentioned it was an ice scraper but seems to flimsy. Another says it is a rear light assembly tool. I think i am going to send Audi an e-mail

It's for breaking into your house when you forget your key.

It is for changing the real tail light bulbs. Not sure how one would use it though.
