My wife had her mini broken into and her purse taken. Inside the wallet was the valet key. Needless to say we now have an expensive alarm system installed.
The dealership said the valet key could start the car. However I don't believe the valet key has the chip since it is nothing more than a plastic cut-out.
If the valet key can start the key what is the point of having the chip and $160 main key? Something is not right here.
