valet parking

I have a 2024 lariat. When valet parking do I give the attendant my key fob?

yes, they will absolutely need it.

if you valet often you could consider programming one of the fobs as a mykey with limits. I doubt a lot attendant would choose a maverick to hoon in, risking their job, but you could technically set it up for that purpose.

Isn't there also a "valet mode" in the Sync system too? To keep them from messing with vehicle settings.

I completely forgot about that. Yes, you and I do have that, but it's sync 3 only. I've never used it but seems extremely simple.

I just saw that option. Petty simple. I'll use that feature. Thanks for the reply.

Would having a second fob just for valet use on you at all times affect the truck in anyway? Conflict over which fob is in the drivers seat?

If you limited it with mykey, yes I think that's possible for the truck to sync with the wrong fob.

If they are both unrestricted keys then no worries.

It is one use for the "my key" system where you can set limits on how fast the key can allow the vehicle to go and all that jazz. The my key system also directly tracks how far it's being driven with that key in use. So if you give them that key you can tell if it's driven under 1 mile to a lot, or 10 miles for a joyride.

I ended up disabling the mykey because I really don't see myself using a valet anytime soon... or probably ever
