Car top pointed thing is shark fin antenna. Currently, shark fin car antennas have been widely used by major international automotive brands such as Mitsubishi, SUZUKI, Mazda, etc. Airflow disruption: During driving, cars encounter air resistance, which increases with speed. Shark fin antennas can significantly reduce air resistance and mitigate the impact of airflow on the vehicle. Even though most vehicles use specialized spoiler devices, shark fin antennas still have airflow disruption effects. Static electricity absorption: After autumn when the weather becomes drier, cars tend to generate static electricity during operation. If this static electricity isn't discharged, drivers may easily get shocked while driving, and it could lead to dangerous consequences at gas stations. Shark fin antennas serve to divert and eliminate this static electricity.

How to unlock an Audi A3 when the key is locked inside the car?

You can directly ask family or friends to deliver the spare key to you, and then simply use the spare key to open the car door. Generally, using a sharp object to remove the door seal will reveal a small gap, and then you can insert a wire through it. If neither of the above methods is feasible, you can call a locksmith to unlock the car or directly arrange for a tow truck to take it to the 4S store for unlocking.
