I understand that valet mode only involves electronic issues, but is there any way to secure the glove box when you are parking away from home and in valet mode. The only thing that I have been able to find is that you have to use the key, but of course you’re giving up the key When you’re having your car parked any tips on possible solutions?

If you use PAAK, you don’t need to hand the valet your key. They get a code.

Your fob has 2 components - a key and the button section. Split it apart, lock glove box, keep key portion with you.

I was thinking about this the other day. I think it you rely on valet parking to know that they have to use a code, and remember said code, you're asking for issues lol.
