Question about 98 C230 valet key and remote starter.

I was wondering how the valet key works to start the car when it does not have IR on it. I was looking into remote starts and found out that it was not possible to do. Shouldn't it be possible if the valet key uses a transponder?

I have never seen a valet key with a transponder. Interesting point. The valet opens the drivers door, trunk and glove box. If you are giving your car to a parking attendant, what is the point with the key? I am interested in the comments that come back!
Thank you for creating a sleepless night thinking about it.

I'm sorry about my mix up. It turns out that I was told wrong. It is a flat key that I have, not a valet key.
