so this is the second time I have ordered a key blank for my car.
take a close look, I don't think it will work. the last one was the same, different company. or am I missing something? do I have to order by year?  |

Looks like it should work to me.
What looks wrong to you? |

I seem to remember the red keys were longer and would not open the trunks.

I had this issue when I ordered genuine blank for my ignition,the grooves in the blank meant it only fitted the doors and trunks.
I have no idea what the PO has done with the locks however. |

Whether the key fits or not has nothing to do with the grooves.
Also, there is no difference in length between master and valet keys. |

hard to tell with that picture, but it looks like you are missing a lengthwise groove on the bottom (in that picture) of the key blank.

Valet key has extra groove, pin doesn't hit the key, prevents lock from turning.

I rekeyed everything to one key...cause all the locks came from "I can't remember which parts car" rich |
