Which keys do you leave?

When you bring your TL in for service which keys do you leave with the dealer? Do you take things out of the trunk and glove box?

I don't, but then I don't live in NY anymore. If I did, I would either take things out of the glove box and trunk that I was fond of, or put explosive devices in there in case anyone tried to get in.

You can lock the glove box, and disable the trunk opener switch near your left knee (when you are sitting in the car, of course. I didn't mean it is by your left knee all of the time.) by using the switch in the glove box, and then locking it.

And then leave them the valet key, hoping that you didn't foget that the wheel lock key is in the trunk and they have to take off a tire to fix something, or rotate them, or whatever.

My dealer dealer said no need for me to leave them the wheel lock since they have master key(s) for all of the Acura wheel locks.

you think by doing this they can't get into your glove box and trunk? they can get into places you never know existed.

My stupid dealer prefers to have the master key and remote together.

I left mine today and gave them my main keys. I had my new Bel radar detector, 24 cds, and other stuff in the car. I was all there when I got the car. No surprise there. I have a great dealership.
