What can I say. I am just an ass for doing the laundry LOL. Now keep in mind that yes I have done this before but I am not the one that leaves the stupid ass damn pice of shit key in my pocket. (sorry for the rant but I have lost two of the stupid things and washed them countless times.)Morale of the story is that the damn things are built like a brick shit house LOL.[/b]

Brick shit house eh?

something funny that I would like to share with everyone:

my husband recently did laundry and my smart key happened to be in my pants pocket. for those of you who don't know, the smart key is flat and about the size of a credit card. in the side of it there is a key that slides into the housing that you can remove to start the car or unlock the car manually. otherwise there is button on the driver, passenger, and trunk that you can push when standing next to the car that will send a signal and unlock the door. the ignition has a cover that you just turn to start. its a really convenient option from the factory that I believe was around 800.00 bucks. anyway, one of these expensive ass keys got washed for the full amount of time, detergent, rinsing, spinning and all. then dryed in the dryer for a full 120 mins. the key ended up in the lint trap in two piece and when joe attempted to retrieve it he dropped the actual key portion down the lint trap and into the dryer vent. now we have to take apart the dryer or use a magnetic something to retrieve it. the key still works perfectly fine and is now nice and clean : ) point of the story is damn those things are really built well. also, this isn't the first time this has happened and probably not the last either. oops![/b]

I work at the mazda dealership and I once found one at the bottom of a bucket of water in the detail shop. I took it out and removed the batt., hit it with some compressed air and let it dry for a while. It must have been in the water for over an hour cause i had sold the car and was looking everywhere (execpt for the bucket) for the second key. Send it to the customer in the mail the next day and it worked fine. DONT TRY THAT AT HOME, PLEASE.
