Our dealer supplied two keys with the car. The poshest, nicest one does not have a button just for opening the boot whereas the second spare, cheaper looking key does. Is this correct?

That's what I got too, I commented on it the time to my dealer - seems silly. I've kept the lovely purple folding key and given the hubby the other one.

The dealer told me that the boot button doesn't do anything. Although I haven't tested it yet.

 

[busabliss]

Well my spare works the boot!

Hi
well do you know I havnt check that out will do so 2 morrow cheers

 

[busabliss]

letus know

 

[busabliss]

See what I mean? The main key has only two buttons only release!!

 

[sarawr]

Maybe because the spare doesn't unlock the boot as well when you unlock the car like the main key does?

 

[busabliss]

No, the spare unlocks the boot at the same time as unlocking the car.

I qeuried this too seemed obvious to generate two the same than two individual keys at diff expenses! My dealer didnt understand why it was different! Just said was manufactureres beig stupid! I gave mine to the fiance! I want the nice looking key!

I've only just noticed this as I just threw my spare key in a draw. It does seem really strange, my spare key unlocks the boot and locks & unlocks the doors, yet my main key only locks & unlocks the doors.Surely the main key should have more plentiful features and buttons than a backup spare key.

Hi yes I agree very strange in deed

 

[bizzylizzy]

Really weird I agree.I use thespare fob.The other day I locked my sparefob in the car accidentally. I hadopened only the boot with the fob, gave the dog some water and stupidly put the keys in the boot while faffing around with the water bowl.Then I pulled down the boot and hey presto! Locked the keys in the car. Had to go through **** and high water to get the second set. I was stuck out in the sticks! It occurred to me that if I had been using the posh set I wouldn't have done that, as the two main doors would have been unlocked automatically and then I would have had to have pushed the emblem to open the boot. Is that what Vauxhall have tried to avoid here? Trying to avoid boot only opening? Or is that too clever for Vauxhall?! Ha ha!!

My spare key looks nothing like the one on the previous page it looks exactly like my main key but it doesn't fold down! How strange!

I thought that when I saw the photo, my spare key is the same as main one just not as fancy and no fold.

To me the other key looks like a Volkswagen key not a vauxhall key.

I had an e-mail from Vauxhall regarding the ordering of my ADAM, and it also had some good to know facts,
One being, the main button can be programmed to open just the drivers door, drivers door and passenger door, or both doors and petrol cap, and with pressing the unlock button twice, unlocks both doors and the boot.
Dont know if anyone else has done this or tried it??

 

[Familyaffair2005]

I've programmed my key to just unlock driver door on one press and two to open all

Continuing on from my previous post, I have today (30/8/14) asked for this question about lack of boot key button on main fob to be put to Vauxhalls Head Office. Will report back if/when I get an answer. Here is a pic of my keys, different to the previous poster's ones :
