I had my 04 from new and I never had a valet key, I have never seen one mentioned in the Owners Manual but frankly I have never really read it too much.
Valet keys open the door and start the car but do not work on the trunk and glove box if I remember correctly. Skip the trunk on our cars if they have a valet key.
Do you have new batteries in the fob? Silly question but you never said but I suspect you do have new ones.
A previous poster here had problems with his key and had to have a new lock fitted as the old lock had broken somehow or had something jammed down it. Maybe it needs some lubricant in the lock.
