Hey guys,
I just wanted to let all of you know to be careful not to use my key if you only have one key. I bought my car used so I only received one key when I purchased the car. The key was the admin key. It would allow me access to all the option for the car including the Mykey option. I decided two nights ago while I was out downtown I decided to turn my key on so that I would not be tempted to go over a certain speed. The problem now is my car is now stuck with a 80 mph speed limit and I can't turn the volume up in the car. I just came from the dealership and found out that my admin key is now a mykey/ valet key now, and the only way to remove the mykey locks and speed limiter is to buy another key and have it programmed. So now I have to spend $250 on a new key to get my car back to running like normal. I never read in the manuals or online that if you turn mykey on it will lock any key into just a mykey/ valet key. I just want to put this info out here so my mistake does not have to happen to anyone else. Well thanks for reading guys.
Cliff notes:
If you only have one key, don't set up my key speed limiting setting and volume setting. otherwise, you will need a new key to remove the mykey setting. :cuss:
