I do not see a key area to lock the switch inside from opening the trunk

Default With your key

Use your real key, lock the trunk and/or glovebox physically, and the valet key can't open them.

I'm not near my car atm, but isn't the trunk key hole next to the trunk handle?

Default also have to lock the rear fold down seats

if you don't lock the seats you can get into the trunk from the interior

Default Which one is the Valet Key?

I got 3 keys with my car.. 2 identical ones which I assume are 'the real keys' and a plastic one which should be the service key which I understand can only be used for 50 startups or something like that.

I locked my glove compartment with the 'real key' - the one with the remote. The plastic key opened, the other real key opened, but the metal key without a remote didn't work. So, I'm assuming the metal one without the remote function is the valet key.

Default Metal key, w/o remote is the Valet Key

The plastic key is as real as the remote ones (chip ane everything), just it'll wear out easily.

I don't have a lockable glove compartment... I don't have a plain metal key either. Therefore I have no Valet Key and since I won't leave my car to valets for parking I don't need a lockable glove compartment. Problem solved.
