is there a special "valet" remote?

It is actually the opposit. You keep the key, and give the FOB to the parking attendent. The key is used to lock the trunk lock in the glove compartment an the trunk access between the rear seats, therefore you should keep the key. The design shortcoming with the FOB as it was pointed out in another thread was that it has no key hole for the parking attendent to hook it up in the place where the customer keys are normally kept.

give him the Fob and the valet key.... I know it still controls the trunk, but I dont have anything in there, except my floor mats (have all season ones in right now) so no worries

Agree with AcuraRLBlue that the fob needs a second hole for the valet. It is so simple to "loan" your car to someone by simply pushing the black button and popping off the fob (instead of the dreaded "circling-around-the-key-ring-thing"). But then they don't have a hole on their end!! I wonder if a small drill hole could be added without disturbing the circuitry, maybe even a tiny hole and adding a second tiny key ring to the fob part.

See last item on the page.
For anyone who may need something to protect and a means to provide a key chain attachment for the remote, this may be the answer.
It should is better than drilling a hole into the remote, which I will not do. I ordered 2, and I will report back as to how well they are made.
