Does the valet key start the engine, can anyone confirm this? I remember trying about 3 or 4 weeks ago and the key would go into the ignition but was not able to turn it, and did not want to force it?

If your valet key does not start your car....it does nothing else either and in its current state can be defined as worthless.

I did this and it works, it is very easy. I bought my car used and was worried about the previous owner having other keys. I followed the instructions on BananaGS's site to ERASE ALL CODES and my valey key and second remote control master key would not start the engine. It would crank but would not turn over until I followed the instructions to program them seperately. Maybe my car is different ???

But the guy who broke into his apartment - who knows what his skill level is in auto theft and hacksaw 101? He's got a key and expects to drive off scott free with no issues. He might have to wait until tomorrow morning to go to Home Depot to even buy a hacksaw.
I stick with my original post Anything you can do to slow them down until you get your keys repogrammed - do it.
