The other day -- I had a need to use the valet key, which we never had the need to do.
I grabbed it; went to hte garage, and used it to start the car -- and drove off. luckily; I also brought the master key -- becuase the key fit, but did not turn the door locks.
The cut of the key is different than the main key.. the "tip" 1/2 of the key is different, but the base 1/2 is the same.
The dealer says the only thing that should be different is the grove, otherwise they should be the exact same cut.
Anyone have a valet & master key handy to double check? Any one heard of a key that starts the ignition but doesn't fit the door?
