waterproof and stainless steel key??

Hi everybody, since a long time I have not post a new thread but I have a new question about the key of our tacoma. Do you think it's waterproof and stainless steel? Because I do many watersports activity on the sea so I want the key on my pocket. I know that the keyless entry is not water proof. Do you think the chip on the key will damage with the sea? thanks

 

i dont think saltwater would be good for it. espically the chip. Best bet would be find a dry box to put it in or something.

 

Ziplock bag?

 

Get a non-chipped key made to lock/unlock your doors. Stash the chipped key somewhere in the truck.

For the price of the non-chipped key you can carry a couple with you.

 

The chip is encased in the plastic, so I can't really see it being a problem. My biggest concern would be it falling out of a pocket, and sinking to the bottom of the lake/ocean.

 

They make little key chains that that have a float attached to them, my bosses boat and marina keys all have them

 

They look pretty water proof. I don't think you'd have an issue with them. And no, they won't rust.

 

that is a negative on the waterproof keys.

 

I must have gotten really lucky because I had my key and key fob in my pocket while swimming in the Atlantic for at least 5 minutes before I realized what I had done. I really expected the worst. I won't ever do that again. Surprisingly, mine worked fine when I tried it at the end of the day.

 

Good point, if it's the key with the keyless entry buttons, it's likely not waterproof. But the one without the buttons should be.
