My wife came up with the idea, that since while fishing I unintentionally
immerse myself a couple times a week in some hat floating version of the
FullReid that my new KEY is in danger ... ( I've ruined a couple cell
phones ) ..... anybody know if there is any truth to this? she admits that
she just made it up, but it seems it could be true?


Do I need to find some sort of waterproof key container ?

PS it has a tire pressure sensor thingy that beeped and displayed a
warning icon every time I started it ... so I took it to the dealer to check
... the 'mechanic' came out with TWO laptops, a couple wiring harness
hookups and magic remote digital air pressure gauges as his 'tools' ... I
doubt they have a wrench or screwdriver in the whole damn shop G

IME, the key is waterproof, and the remote is, generally, water-resistant. I'd
leave the remote and the "main" key in the truck and carry a spare key only if a
Reidlike dunking were a possibility. IIRC, you can have a "normal" door key
made that will unlock the door, but won't start the vehicle.
