I lost the keys to my 2006 t&c. i have only found the valet key. i would use this but i dont know if my alarm is on or not and if the valet key will set off the alarm if it is on. any help with this ASAP would be excellent.
Don't know about 2006, but on our 1999 the valet key shuts off the alarm just fine. If it didn't, how could a valet park, lock, and then later return to get the vehicle?

If you lost your keys the valet key will not start the vehicle. It will start and die 3 times and then it will not do anything. The dealer has to cut and program a new key for you.This may also be expensive because the car will have to be towed to the shop to have the key programmed to the vehicle

I don't follow... The valet key is provided so the valet can drive the car to a parking spot and then bring it back to you but not have access to the glove box or other locked areas of the vehicle. So are you saying that if you valet park a 2006 t&c the valet staff is going to need to push the vehicle to a parking spot and then push it back to you when you are ready to go?

If you have a valet key that is programmed to the vehicle YES you can use it. If you have a plain metal key that says VALET on it. it is only used to open the vehicle. I have no idea what key you have, Try it! if the vehicle starts and dies...the key is not programmed for the vehicle. If the vehicle starts and runs then go to the dealer and have a regular key cut. If the vehicle has an alarm in it all you need to do is unlock the door with the key and start it. Sorry for the confusion
