I've had Jaguar XJ40's in the past supplied with (as described in the brochure) a green valet key. It would operate doors and ignition but not bootlid and glove box.
I had always therefore assumed that in much the same vein the mopar boot lock was supposed to be a different cut to the ignition / door key to enable you to give the pentastar key to the parking valets and retain the round key to prevent them being able to access the contents of the boot?

Interesting, and makes sense... I shall have to have a butchers at mine... love a single key system.... sorted my last house to a single key for dead locks and night latches. Cuts down with a lot of faffing.
