Interesting observation
I don't have the Mini Connected option on my Countryman. I noticed today that if I start my car, stop it and then pull out the key fob, I can start the car again without reinserting the key fob.
Not sure what use this would be to anyone, but thought it was interesting...

Your suggestion may work if you have Comfort Access though which the OP indicates he doesn't.

1) you drive up to the valet stand
2) you take the key out and the car turns off
3) you start the car back up(foot on brake push button without opening door)
4) you take your key with you and get out of the car so the valet can get in.
5) valet gives you receipt and you keep your key
6) valet parks car and turns it off and cannot go out joy riding.
7) you return later for your car and give valet key and receipt.
earlier thread on the feature here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ew-mini-s.html
I'm personally with the person in the thread who says the best solution is to self park. I'm just cheap that way.

Hateregs: I agree. I wouldn't waste the $ on valet parking. I'll have to try steps 3/4 again to see if my car keeps running when i open the door after restarting it without the key in the ignition. Unfortunately that'll have to wait until my car gets back from my wife out joy-riding in it...
As for y8s.... no, the OP does not have Comfort Access. Re-read post #1 and #4.

I use it in the mornings when I warm up my car. We don't really have much use for valet in Kentucky but its great when its freezing cold out. Start, turn off, take out key, restart, get out, lock the doors and let it warm up. I know its not efficient on the car but it beats the hell outta freezing in the car for 10 mins before it warms up.
