Are the red tab chip keys waterproof?

Postby eresseraca » Mon Sep 25, 2017 7:29 am

I had the key with me when kitesurfing the other week. Didn't think much about it as it's not a remote but afterwards I realised that there's the immobiliser chip in these keys. Worked without problem when I headed home but started thinking so I better double check with you guys. Can it be damaged by water and being submerged?

Would be fine as they are a sealed glass chip.

I remember my Mk5 key would not work if the key was wet say from rain,
just nothing there when ignition turned never figured out why but a quick wipe sorted it
