HELP NEEDED ASAP! I can't get into my car!

I left my keys at a friends house, got a ride home (where my car is), now I need to go and get my keys back.

How can I get into the car using the valet key only? I can't find my spare remote & key anywhere.

I know it's 2:46AM but I need to get into my car ASAP!

Thx.

can't u use the valet key to open the car? because the purpose of the valet key is so that they cannot get into your trunk.

Nope. It's chipped, just like the regular keys. You can unlock and start the car with it.

Thanks a million guys, the valet key unlocked the doors, didn't set off the alarm and allowed me to start the car. I now have my main set of keys back (including the remote).

I don't know why, but I was positive that the valet key would set off the alarm and I didn't feel like waking up my entire neighborhood at 3 in the morning!

Thx again!

Serious. @least he's concerned enough about this sort of thing to ask for advice and be sure, instead of being the jackass that wakes up the entire neighborhood.
