Several new-owner-type questions
![Post Post](./styles/Cerulean/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hi, all,
Four short questions about my new to me 2005 Solara SLE convertible.
1) My previous 2000 Solara had a woofer behind the back seat but it had been disconnected and I didnt' know it was even there for several years. Does the 2005 have one too? Is there a way in the radio to control its volume separate from the rear speakers?
2) I got 2 keys and 2 fobs but no valet key. Is it possible to make a valet key from what I have?
3) On the Amazon pages where they sell key blanks, the vendors themselves say one needs a locksmith or dealer**, but I found instructions to do it myself! (I'll post them if you want.) So, can you have a key shop cut the keys and then register them yourself?
**"These keys require dealer or automotive locksmith cutting and programming. "
4) Then by accident I find these 3 things which are all more or less alike.
