Have yet to try this myself. I think you can call it a good experiment and count your blessings. Great out come.

Mine works fine after going through the wash but not the drier (only because it had fallen out of the pocket).

do you know if the FOB prefers cold or warm water with the wash? liquid or dry soap etc. I just want to make sure all my supporting mods are in order before jumping on this one

Obviously a clean fob will start the engine faster, and likely yield solid dyno gains, too!

how do the gains compare to sticker gains? streetglow gains? etc. I am really trying to get the best bang for my buck in these rough economic times..
