Stroudy Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 As title suggests. If car has been locked with the button press fob, will the alarm sound if i unlock it with the spare key that does not have a button on it and open the door? Missus has gone away over night and taken the main key with her by mistake and i need to get in it!! Manual is in it too so cant check in that. Also noticed red security light on top of dash by windscreen was still flashing when i unlocked it, hence why ive not opened the door yet..

Lexx Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You should have 3 keys. The one you just described is the Valet key. You should have 2 full remote keys too. It should deactivate the alarm, and allow you to drive the car as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 the alarm will go off with the valet key but put it in the ignition and the alarm will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you then proceed to start the car, put key in ignition, the alarm will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 No probs. It's whats the community is for. Remember you should have 2 remote keys thought, and the Valet Key is your 3rd key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Blank keys come up for sale from time to time, and they can be reporgrammed by yourself to your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
