Dobrý den všem,
Is there a way to lock out the trunk or glove compartment? I’m guessing there isn’t for the glove box because there’s no actual lock on the handle, but what about the trunk?
Thanks for you help,
Lonnie

In the new Accord there is a on/off switch inside the glovebox compartment to disable access to the trunk with the key fob. Not sure if that’s also the case on the Insight.

There is a Valet key inside of the remote transmitter. Slide the little switch on the side of the remote marked «H» to the left to access the key.

From page 167 of the owners manual:
«The built-in key can be used to lock/unlock the doors when the remote battery becomes weak and the power door lock/unlock operation is disabled.To remove the built-in key, slide the release knob and then pull out the key. To reinstall the built-in key, push the built-in key into the remote until it clicks.»

That’s not really a valet key. Valet keys were designed to unlock doors and start the car, but not unlock the glove box and trunk. I don’t think there’s any way to lock out the trunk on the Insight. At least not that I’ve found yet.

Thanks Goldy,
Since there’s no kill switch in the glove compartment like the Accord there’s no way to lock out the trunk. Unless, they could do a software option that would somehow lockout the trunk until a password or pin # was entered into the system. With the holidays approaching I’d feel more secure with packages locked in the truck. Is there a way to request or suggest this to Honda’s software developers?

Has anyone left their car with a valet yet. and if so, did you leave the whole fob (with internal/metal key in place) or did you remove the key?
I’m thinking that since the Insight’s internal key doesn’t lock the glove compartment like on the Accord, there’s no value to or need for removing the key before handing over to valet. Am I thinking about this correctly?

I think you will be fine giving the whole keyfob unless the key opens something than just the door on our Insight. The Accord also has a hidden trunk lock switch behind the locked glovebox.

I wouldn’t want the physical key to be so easily available to be copied

. it seems like equivalent risk as in ‘old school’ cars where keyed transmissions/doors were the standard, and those physical keys were left behind with the valet. However now with the Insight, even if the physical key were copied, it would ‘only’ unlock the doors. To start the car, the key fob would need to be copied/coded.
With hackers already targeting key fob replication, it feels uncomfortable to hand over the whole fob to a valet and walk away. But assuming there are situations where valet is required (versus self-park) I don’t know of other way to leave the car operable without leaving the fob.

Having Insight driven by valet or parking lot attendant
I am curious if any of you have had experiences and/ or concerns about attendants (whether valet or parking lot types) driving your car through parking lots.
I have only been to midtown Manhattan once in the 15 months that I have had my car. No valet parking at restaurants or clubs here in New Jersey. That one time I went to Manhattan to park at an underground garage, I was concerned about whether the attendant would know how to turn the car on/ off and I certainly did not explain the process to him when I handed him the car key (as his English was terrible to begin with).
I have no idea whether he might have done something wrong, as I didn’t/ haven’t noticed anything different about the car and its ignition since that time. Any experiences/ thoughts about this issue?
