Car Keys and what to do with them?

[butterfb]

I leave mine inside the truck and anything else i dont want wet. I have a keypad on my door and can open my truck with that.

That is one of the best ideas Ford had for their vehicles. Their other ideas not so much.

The dive mobile 2005 GMC Savanna thankfully has dumb old brass key. I have it on a string that goes around my neck and in my wetsuit for wet dives. When dry I lash it to a D ring in a pocket. I did dive occasionally from an O8 Subaru Outback that had a valet key that wasn't bothered. We also had no problems with the smart key (not a remote, just a recognition chip) on a 2000 Windstar. I'd see about solid valet key options for your vehicle.

It's not uncommon for other divers to toss their FOBS in the back of my van. I figure it gives them an incentive to help keep me safe from harm.

Mine imploded at about 85 ft. If it really needs to be kept dry, probably best to leave it above the water. I have never been able to keep my money dry for a whole week in Bonaire.

My Toyota dealer cut a non-electric key for my fj for no cost.

I have a Toyota Highlander with and electronic key. That automatically opens doors when touching the door handle and start the car with out a key. Also is in the electronic key is an emergency key. What I do is take the emergency key out, put the electronic key in the back of car. Then lock the car with the emergency key. Put the emergency key in swimsuit pocket under my wetsuit. That seem to work the car stayed locked. BUT TEST THIS WITH YOUR ELECTRONIC KEY.
