Valet (non-fob/electronic) Key?
This has been brought up in the past but never really got an answer... I need a key that's small and waterproof which, of course, the keyfob is not. Does the Camaro come with a valet key or something similar? If not, can a basic key be made or do we have to pay some ungodly amount of money for a plain key?
No, I'm not asking because I want to valet the car but I need a non-electronic key for my personal use!!!! Last edited by UCF w00t; 06-14-2009 at 11:17 PM. |

I don't mean this to sound rude in anyway, but why do you need a waterproof key? Swimming, rafting/boatin, theme parks, etc? I'm just curious

I don't need it for valets but for surfing. Would rather not have to bury the key in the sand or leave it on top of a tire like some people do.

I have friends who used to valet.....
There is no way in hell I would ever valet any car of mine !! : ) You've seen Ferris Beuller, right ? It happens ...... They used to time each other to see who could get the best time going from a starting point to the third level of their garage.... nice, a timed race with the customers cars, and of course, the better the car the harder they pushed it !

I've told my wife on numerous occasions I wished her keys were waterproof because of the reasons you mentioned above. Hers doesn't have a key to plug in but it's a keyless ignition. which is great exept for when you want to park the car at the beach and only want to carry a beer. You can't get in the water.

When I went to test-drive the G8, the key-ring the salesman got had the switchblade key-fob, and another 'normal' key. Maybe the Camaro will be the same?
