I'm a little confused. Are you saying you can open the car w/ the alarm armed w/o the alarm going off with your normal key or you just don't have the key fob/remote with you spare key to turn off the alarm?
If the alarm is going off and you have a key, put the key in the ignition and turn it on and off three times. It will turn off the alarm and let you start the car.

Yes you can disarm the alarm w/ the valet key. The valet key will get you in the door and the ignition but not the glovebox or trunk. I think you only need to turn the key to run 3X and not all the way to start. But it wouldn't hurt to have your foot on the clutch. I'm sure this is all in the owners manual too

I know a really good place to hid a key outside the car in one of those cases that is virtually impossible to find unless you know where it is. If you want details e-mail me direct
