Valets and the key
Now I try to avoid valets whenever possible, but sometimes in LA, you don't have a choice. It's recommended you turn off the trunk switch in the glove box, lock the glove box, and then hold on to the physical key and give the valet the "keyless" part.
However, when you do this, there is no place on the actual key for the valet to place the other end of your ticket so they can find your keys and where they parked the car. You've taken the other portion which has the keyring.
I recently encountered this when having my car tinted. They needed to take the keys and when I removed the physical key, there was no where to attach the ticket that had my name on it to the key.
So how useful is the valet key feature then?

So, for those that left just the intell. key and took the glovebox key, I guess the valets just figure something out....
