Sorry to highjack your thread SC400 408
But does anyone know if it's even possible to use the manual key in your driver's side door w/o the alarm going off? My fob battery went dead on me not too long ago, and I had to open my car with the manual (valet) key...then the freakin' alarm went off (it was soooo embarrassing )

Maybe it was the way I used my key? It took me a while to unlock my door doing it manually (I was trying to be careful so I wouldn't sratch my paint). Maybe I made my car's entry system mad causing the alarm to go off? It probably thought I was an intruder trying to break in????

The same disaster just happened to my wife (stolen purse with the smart key in it !!!). Any possibility that insurance covers the cost for the new key + re-programming ?? Should I go through dealer ?
Thanks for your help !!
