Would be grateful if someone could have a quick look and see if they are cut differently or if it is the grooves in the key that are different?

They're cut the same, its just the grooves that are different.

Are they both the same length?

And the same colour? :tongue:

hi the only thing thats different is the fluting, the edges are the same cut and length otherwise. i bought a blank valet key from the states and i and had it cut to my master, even though my keycut shop insisted it wouldnt work... but i knew it would work.

I done the same only mine didn't work.

i cant think why that could be, mine worked perfectly

Are saying when cut the same as the master the valet key, worked as a valet key?

the key profiles are both identical, so yes if you cut a valet blank from a master key it will only work as a valet. (think there's one groove/ flute less on the valet)... similarly, if you cut a master blank from a valet it will work as a master.

I had the valet key cut from the master key and it only worked on the drivers door and ignition just like the master key.

what colour is your master key? your master key should also work in the boot and glove box, but not the valet key.

valet key is red, grey and titanium are master.

Sorry, I thought you asked what colour valet key was. Either way they both do the same job, which is start the car and open drivers door only.

Dunno if this helps bud but,
