and... i hope those sneaky valet people dont steal what's in the trunk through the trunk pass through.... lol

I only have two keys that are identical. I don't have a valet key, either, but I can't say that it was not available at one time.

that button is probably more useful for police officers who do not follow the law on searches :> just say, "my trunk doesn't open," or something.

The only working key I have for my second gen is my valet key, which sucks because everything has to be locked and unlocked manually.

(Off Topic)
Anyone wanna sell me the casing to a master key?

I looked at the button on my car car -- it's even labeled for the function. i wonder if your label fell off?


I would but I have two keys, so if I were you I would plunk down the money to get a new key from lexus, make your life so much easier and happier for only about 150 bucks or whatever they charge
