Comfort Access Remote survived a trip through the washing machine.

TagMan · 07-18-2008, 08:32 PM

LOL... Yeah, I absent-mindedly left the Comfort Access Remote device in the pocket of a pair of my shorts, and it went into the laundry and through all the washing machine cycles... and yet somehow it survived all that soapy wet spinning torture!

I can't believe that it's working just fine.

You're not alone lol. I've done it before with my Infiniti's remote entry key.

wow.... its waterproof?

Don't try it with sea water, everything corrodes almost immediately

Funny, I did the same thing. I washed it but rescued it before the dryer. I just let it dry out for a week and it works fine!

I got blood on my fob for my X5 and I put it in the ultrasonic instrument cleaner at work, it even removed the grease off the inner key. The thing never missed a beat.

Cool, now I know what to do if it get to dirty.

Yea these things are def water proof. I swam 500 yds with my nissan fob and the thing worked perfectly. I wouldnt try it again.

BTW how expensive are the fobs?

Emergency tracheotomy kit. That hidden key has so many good uses.

The key fobs range from like $100 to $130 depending on Comfort Access. Those are exact numbers, but rough estimates.

I know this because I lost one of my keys on ED (LOL) but luckily the hotel sent it back to me free of charge!
