    There are some recent posts about fobs going through washing machines and worse and still work.

    I went swimming last summer and forgot to leave the keys with the beach bag. Was in the water for several minutes before I realized I had the keys. I have had no problems so far since. Looks like Toyota thought ahead on this one.
