Just a quick question i've been thinking about if you drop an immobolizer key or a key with a transponder in water would it still start the cat, im thinking of an original VW key with a cobra imobo key??
I know there no batteries in the chips or anything so i couldnt see what harm it would do.
Cheers

Don't drop it in water?

+1 :tongue:
-
lol il try not to but what if i was drunk and dropped it?? :drool:
-
If you're drunk, I'd be wondering why the f**k you had your car keys in your hand to begin with..

+2 :lipsrsealed: :tongue:

Leave them somewhere safe, or leave them with someone :afro:

Electrics + Water = Fail.

I would suggest you have too much time on your hands if you're thinking about this :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway I wouldn't think it was a good idea.

but what electrics are there in the key, dont really know how they work tbh but i've seen the chips theres no power source inside the key, yeah way too much time, but its better to be prepared than get my brother to drive down with the spare keys.
-
id say itd be fine because the chip is sealed in plastic, battery for light would likely be fooked, but really not worth the hastle as getting it recoded isnt that easy/cheap

but what happens if you drop the spare set in water?
-
You can get waterproof mobile phone bags etc from sailing shops and on the net. You would then be able to take tyour wallet keys and phone in with you.
Or simply put the key in a condom tied with a knot. Then if you get lucky on your camping trip you will have protection and a method to keep your key dry whilst swimming.

tbh you might get a strange meow from the cat if you try and start it with a key, not sure what hole you would put the key in!! lol :grin:

Would start fine. It's not that kind of electrical device.
It still starts when I dropped it in the sea anyhow. :lipsrsealed:

Pringles?

Pringles?
sour cream and onion, or are you talking about the golf clothes? four!

I doubt it would damage the chip as its completly sealed unit with no external electronics.
-
I dropped my phone in a pint of beer once, dried it out and it still worked but died a few weeks later.

My interactive r2d2 fell out out of the window and landed in the sewer, should have wrapped it in a condom first.

You know my advice makes sense

As long as theres no battery and no power source you will be fine (dont use it till it drys though)
Like a flash key, you can go swimming with that and it will still work. As long as there is no power on the bored you have no problem with any electronics, the problem comes when there is power on the board, the impuritys in the water cause a short circuit between the points where its wet.

or just don't juggle near water :wink:
