how durable is key fob?
I put on my warmup the other day to wash my car. I removed my watch , wallet , and fob. Put them in my pocket (middle pocket of warm up top). as i reached into the bucket to get a towel i feel my watch in the bucket , then my wallet , then the fob !!!! Everything in my pocket slid out into the bucket. Don't know how long it had been there. But the fob continues to work fine. I let it dry in the sun for a few hours. Is there anything i should do ??

I would open it up and take it apart to let dry completely. The oval printed circuit board will come out in one piece. There is also a rubber sheet under the buttons you can take out to let dry. Also dry the battery too.

The fob is water-resistant, according to the owner's manual. If it was only in there for a second you should be fine.

I've never dropped mine into a bucket of water, but I've dropped it on pavement and it broke apart. It took a few minutes to get everything lined up and locked in properly but its still working.
