Question: Is the master key with the red dot a different key than the normal keys that will operate the ign, trunk, door, glovebox?

It seems that would make four:

flat normal key (for wallet)
plastic grip normal key
plastic grip valet key
plastic grip "red dot" master key

Anybody?

Thanks!

last time i tried to get a valet key the dealr said they are no longer available, i have one for my 1986 SDL, the valet key will not actually even turn the trunk lock and will not even enter the glove box key hole, the valet key is distinguished by an oval head
