Digital Key Plus and Valet Parking?

RetSurfer · 05-10-2023, 11:58 AM

If I’m using DKP and I go somewhere that has valet parking, how would I do that without giving the valet my phone?

the credit card-looking digital keycard, if you have it. otherwise, you’ll have to give him your phone or bring the key fob for such use. I’d say the hidden key, but the keyhole is not easily accessible in this model.

LOL, I'm certainly not giving someone I don't know my phone.

Key Card. That I can do, I'd need to authorize it and show the valet how to use it. Can it stay in the car glove compartment when not needed, even if it's live? I would believe so if NFC is used.

FOB. How would that react being in the car with my phone? Maybe some way to cover it up so to block the signal? If so, I'd keep it in the car...

- yeah I wouldn’t give my phone either. I just wouldn’t valet if DKP was my only key

- yes, can leave the keycard in the vehicle as long as away from the NFC tray

- the vehicle does get confused when two key fobs are in the vehicle at the same time so could be an issue with DKP. faraday pouch may help

I just tried a "Altoids" tin and it didn't work...
Faraday Pouch, I'll check that out.

Other people must have had this issue...
