I'm sure I'm not the first, but I left my key fob in my pocket and my wife washed my shorts. Has anyone done this and what were if any effects caused to the unit? After I found it in my wet pants on the clothes line I immediately pressed the button and it unlocked my car, so maybe it will be fine. Cheers Dean

We did a trip to the Kimberley's last year and the wife went for a swim in a pool at Broome with ours. Had me very worried but I opened to find a nice silicon seal and not a drop of water after 30 min in the pool. Still going well. Good to see some decent waterproofing on such an expensive item, I was not looking forward to going to Broome Toyota for a replacement fob.
Not sure about full wash cycle but I would open the two halves and have a look. Only need to pry it apart to see.
Cheers, Nova
