IIRC, the difference between a valet key and the regular key is the physical key blank, the key pattern is the same. You could go to a place that cuts laser keys and get a regular key cut from a valet key

In the key head is a small pill that communicates with the immobilizer, whether or not it is actually RFID, I don't know. There is no physical connection between the lock and the immobilizer.
