Not if you use the key on the door handle and turn it extra (45 deg). :listen:

This depend on what year is your model.

From year 2001 till 2002 - 4 keys

From year 2003 till 2004 - 3 keys.

Sorry, I was confuse with my E36..

The correct procedure for E46.:wink: Please refer to below:-

i think i did that, but the alarm was activated..n since i was just testing for the alarm, i can easily press the unlock button on the remote and the alarm went off...
if in the real remote malfunction case, i wouldnt know how to turn off the alarm...yet...

anyone knows?

Bro, when press "Unlock" button on remote, it should deactivate the alarm.. How come your one triggered the alarm..

 

[Ah Yew]

Bro....my car no alarm at all....so never try before...so no comment...

 

[kby88]

yup....you can use any key to start the engine....

Bro, it depends on what spec is your car.

What spec is your E46 model and year?

Anyway, will verify the above. i.e. whether Valet key can de-activate the alarm if the master remote have set the alarm..

Normally, I would think the alarm would go off.

The valet key is meant to be use to start the car and lock the door manually. I would it is sensible that you pass the valet key to the car jockey to park your car. Normally, you would stop the engine, remove your master key and hand over the valet key to the car jockey. You do not activate the alarm.

Quite an interesting question..
