California smog inspection and the track key

This site may earn a commission from merchant affiliate links, including eBay, Amazon, and others.

I'll have to smog my my sby 13' soon because I bought it out of state and I need to register it in CA. I had the track key program installed by the dealer when I took delivery. Anyone know of any issues with the CA Bureau of Automotive Repair smoging one of these with the program installed. I only use the key on the track.
 
I believe you should have received a decal in the mail to attach to the strut tower that will take care of all the emissions questions they may have.

Seriously, use the black key for the test. None of the settings are changed when using that key and there should be no problems. There should be a label that is attached in the engine compartment with Track Key but that should have shown up after the install in the mail. I wouldn't worry if you don't have it. Just use the Black Key.
