Maybe its for a alarm?

I thought the alarm key hole was on the left rear quarter panel just behind the driver door? Maybe it's for an aftermarket alarm? What year is your car? On my late style 944 there is a switch in the glove box. According to the owners manual it's a "valet switch" that prevents the valet parking person from opening your rear hatch along with a few other things.

What he did was put an ignition cutout in it. Made it where it doesnt have ignition unless it was on, so therefore no one could steal the car.

I'd leave it just as an anti theft device.
