Using The Valet Key Card

[PyynkBOB]

I may be late to the party here but I have confirmed there is a way to start the Lucid Air with only the valet key card.

- Unlock/Lock: Tap the card on the B pillar just above the camera.
- Start/Drive: Bypass the PIN by tapping the card to the right of the center microphone array (See picture)

This allows the valet, car wash, or other guests to use the car without the key fob or your PIN

@experiment458 - If I use this method, will it effectively unlock all of the instrumentation, allowing changes to be made to the various configurations, etc.? And if so, is there a way then to link a valet card with a specific profile, to at least avoid unwanted changes to my profile?

The valet card cannot be linked to a profile, only the fobs and mobile keys can be linked to a profile.

My question is how would a valet or car wash person know how to do that?

The way it works is that you give the valet the card, and ask the valet if they know how it works. They say yes. Then when you pick up the car, the valet goes to get it, walks back, and asks you why the car won't start. I learned all this when the Model 3 first came out.

May I know how to relative this card to one exsiting profile ?

Or the valet you gave it to is on a break or has left. And the new valet is looking for a key or a fob, and has no idea what to do with a card. I just give them the fob.
