  • three keys?

    From Adrian Caspersz@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 28 11:36:59 2021
    Hi,

    Some years ago I bought a secondhand car. It came with three keys.

    Recently I bought another. Came again with three keys which surprised me.

    Are cars supplied normally with 2 or 3?

    If two, would the third have been owned (and paid for) by a leasing
    company?

    Common used to be two full ones plus a valet key?

    Were any any the keys coloured?

    On one car I had there was a master red key and a blue key that could mechanically unlocked the door and start the car plus a remote key fob
    with another key. From memory both the red and blue keys were required
    to program a remote key fob/key.
