Can I keep the valet out of the trunk? I don't seem to have a way to denergize, if that's a word, the trunk release button on the drivers door. and there's no key slot on the trunk lid. It looks like that the only secure place on the car is the glove box. Is that the case?

Check your owners' manual to see if your car has a trunk release, relay or circuit breaker in the fuse box. If so, remove that fuse, relay or circuit breaker and the trunk release will not work.

Questions. Does your car have fold down rear seats? If so, can those seats be locked in the upright position? Further, can the valet key unlock these seats? If so, you're back to square one.

No. If you are worried about the valet, take pictures of the trunk contents before & after or don't valet.

There's just the "pass through" / fold down arm rest.
