Valet Mode

I have the valet mode as an option in my unit.

I fully understand the basic idea.
Can someone, tell me the exact parameters.....,
what is set / limited, etc

Thx

From my understanding (from what I read in the manual, it says nothing) of other valet systems I have used, it locks out the Nav unit from changing anything.

Did you guys' get a valet key in addition to the other two admin keys with your trucks?
I only received two admin keys and would have to reprogram one to be limited (with myKey I would guess).

"Valet" is only mentioned in the manual once on page 148.

It is a setting in the Nav. You go to that particular screen and type in a 4 digit code. To unlock it, I think you push the 1 & 5 preset buttons. The explanation is better in the Synch supplement.

Then you probably don't have the valet mode. It was specifically for the Nav unit from what I can tell.

The MyKey thing is where you can put certain limits on what the truck will be allowed to do. If I ever need to "valet" my truck, I would use the second key in MyKey mode -- and lock the Nav too...
