A valet key opens the door and starts the car but won't open the glove compartment or trunk. So if you give your key to a valet to park the car he can't open the GC to check for valuables.

A valet key is also called the service key, "The service key will operate only the driver's door and the ignition switch. It is intended to help deter unwanted entry into the glove compartment and trunk."I'm not sure what a valet key is. My remote entry key unlocks the vehicle and starts the engine. I don't know if its different with Volvo. Mine is a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid.
I'm glad you didn't get stuck outside!
When I had AVG on my old machine it was a bl**dy nuisance. It slowed everything down. I have Norton now as it came with my laptop so I renewed it when it expired. People speak unflatteringly about it but it's been OK so far.I used Norton a long time ago and at first, I really liked it. Then it started to be a huge memory hog and slowed down my machine. I think there was something else I didn't like. I got McAfee and really liked it for a while. Eventually found it to be too much of a PITA. I used AVG for quite a while. I heard good stuff about Kaspersky from geeky friends. I don't hate it yet.
There's a lady on the *Ebay** UK (no use to you, I know) who makes PVC coated fabric covers for kitchen appliances to order. I have black ones with white polka dots to match my new black and white kitchen. She's very reasonable in price and goes to a lot of trouble to get it right. Perhaps there's someone similar on *Ebay* USPoo always asks me, "Ma what do you want for......? This year I wanted a cover for my KA. So I went looking. Only Chefs Catalog had them in blue and it was only $19.99. Sears wanted almost $58.00. The prices were all over the place. And one place had it in plastic. What's with that. In six months it would be dry, cracked and brittle. And it cost more than some of the others. The KA site doesn't show the price until you place the order. They will never get my business.
I have heard it has gotten better. It seems to me that a lot of that security/privacy/anti-spam stuff starts out good and then they "improve" it and it becomes a memory hog.When I had AVG on my old machine it was a bl**dy nuisance.

**Durr, stupid me I meant *AMAZON*.
It might be useful. Stirling has a master key, but the remote part is broken. He doesn't care enough about the broken remote part to spend $300+. But, it might be worth $34+ shipping, etc. I'll wait until I have my new master key.When one of my Honda keys broke, I looked online to find a fix. Found a really nice guy named Gene, he has several do-it-yourself videos on YouTube about how to fix keys, and has a business. I contacted him, sent him the guts of the broken key, and for $34US, he fixed it! A dealership would have charged me $300+. I think he does Volvo keys too. I know it doesn't help now, Taxy, but for future reference.
Cute PF, cute. And Addie? It's only funny if you aren't the one going through Healthcare Hell. I finally relaxed when we dropped the check off on Saturday. What a mucked up website it is.
