The little red key that only works in the ign? I got that key from the maxima owner I bought the car from. But I've never heard of or seen one before.

 

I got one from Ryan when I bought my 5spd but dont have one for the auto and had not heard of or seen one before either

 

I got one when I bought my Max.

 

i got mine

 

got it...from the dealer when the car was new

 

Mine's around here somewhere. Wierd looking key don't you think?

 

i like my valet more than my regular key...dont know y...maybe because its a lil smaller...but i cant use my regular key because it is worn out

 

Anyone got pics of this key?

 

i cant use my orig key either b/c its worn out so i use my valet key

 

Before I knew anything about Maximas, my cousin let me borrow his 1992 GXE Maxima and he gave me a valet key plus a normal black key. The head of the valet key looked sorta rectangular instead of oval like the regular key.

On my 92 SE, I didn't get one.

 

they had valet keys back then

my mom has one on her 03 se

 

same, got the valet with the car new

 

negative...

 

yea, i have mine.. its like new too because its barely been used.. then i have black one in the same shape as the vallet key, and the regular oval one as well...

 

i done got mine

 

no valet key here....you guys think you're special cause you have some dinky red key I never wanted one anyways!!!

 

Got mine too.


Here's a tip I got from a locksmith.

Copy your original keys and onto blanks made of brass (most are).

The brass is much easier on the locks.

This way, the original key remains in mint condition and the lock stays in good shape as it doesn't wear like from the original.

 

i gota valet key for my 91 maxima - but go figure i guess they didnt have it when my bro bought his 90 maxima, now they have keyless entry on the 4th,and 5th gen maxima, wut they gona go to voice activation next?> lol - just kiddin - how does everyone like the 2004 maxima>?

 

I liked how the new Max looked in the commercial. The black one drifting in the end.

 

yep...I've got one for my 92 SE....

can't remember the last time I used it

 

I've got one, original owner of my 92 GXE gave it to me.

 

Yah, I've got the valet key, but not a little red one
On another note, what can you do if your original key starts to wear out? Mine needs some really special treatment sometimes to turn the ignition.

 

I've got a little red one, I keep it in my wallet. I think I've used it once.

 

Got mine, little red head key that works in door and ignition only not trunk or glove box.

 

I have mine also. Never used and the metal of the key still has that plastic cover around it.

 

i only have the valet key.

 

I have 2 black keys and a red valet key. I got them with my brand new Ignition in July when I got my car.

 

duh

 

Yeah, that did sound I meant I have a brand new ignition, so I have the little red key with the plastic still on it.

 

now i ask wut is the use of a valet key - i mean really the only use is so no one else can get into the glove box. i mean the trunk u can open from the inside anyway by pressin the boton on the side of the door.

Acura'z on the other hand have a trunk lock botton in their glove box - so if u lock ure glove box and put the trun thing on lock- both cant open - i think daz a lil better idea?

 

you can lock the trunk with the regular key...when you do this it doesn't allow the trunk release lever to open the trunk

 

There is a lever on the latch inside the trunk that doesnt allow the trunk to open without the key.

 

Don't have it

 

i got the valet key, it starts the ignition, opens the trunk and opens the glove box.... whats wrong with this picture?

 

yea i still got mine plus i have like 2 extra master keys the silver and the one black one

 

My valet key is the keyless entry on the passengers side and a screwdriver, at least for the next two weeks or so... I'm picking up my parts car today and one of the first swaps I'm going to do with it is the ignition switch so I can FINALLY put my power locks back in...
Although... It is pretty nice for the mornings when you're not paying attention and stick the wrong key in the ignition... It'll still start up!

 

Nope, don't have mine. My original key was pretty shot when I got it. Went to Nissan where they cut a new one with the VIN. Don't really need it. Just put a new trunk lock in and it has it's own key.

Now the question, how many people use it for it's intended purpose? I valet park all the time here in Las Vegas....
