Hi I would strongly suggest you dont try and use 98 times because if it hasnt snapped by then. IT WILL ON 99.... ops:

 

This is total nonsense, and I suggest that your Motoring Advisor was an imposter. Probably just some high school kid in chinos who likes to play with the cars.

The valet key (fat key w/o remote button) works just fine and just as well as the real key. Mine did at least until certain members of the family lost it and must now beg for my real key or use the temporary plastic one. Said temporary key, btw, works fine too...but obviously could break if used by the excessively hamfisted.

 

I was just worried the little plastic key might break off inside the ignition or I might have tried it myslef.
