Now that's interesting, because when I talked to my local dealer they said the early cars did not have this valet key feature and they could only make me another master key. So I bought the plain little plastic key head that has absolutely no features and is about the size of a Chiclet, and it's basically my spare key without the remote functions.

Granted, yeah, I've only got that little glovebox to secure inside, but I believe the valet key also keeps the plunger active to disable the trunk lid release handles/buttons in the car and keep people out of your trunks.

Can one of you valet key owners confirm this?
