Every chance I'm wrong but I think it's the sunroof manual winder?

Bit of googling suggests that I'm right, even if you don't have a sunroof it may have been fitted in every car regardless.

My old A2 had a similar looking Allen key for the OSS roof. It was located in the headlining tho'.

Sunroof winder indeed.
