Washed 2010 Prius SKS Fob!!

emPG · 11-03-2009, 06:16 PM

Imagine my horror to open the dryer and find that my dh had washed and dried his key fob! It was late last night when I discovered it so of course I had to go straight out and test it-WHEW! It worked just fine both in unlocking the doors and communicating with the power button.

Of all times for him to do laundry and NOT check his pockets.

Now you've got a clean, germ-free fob...

yep been there, done that. have also dropped and completely submerged it in very dirty puddles before. twice dropped it into a pothole full of water. first time, i didnt realize the hole had 6 " of water in it and it took a good minute to fish it out. that was the SPM Fob...

it still worked.

A gentle reminder about the high cost of replacing and programming a fob might encourage the checking of pockets before doing the laundry. Money is often the best behavioral modifier.

Oh Yes! I already used that reminder and not too terribly gently I might add. I may also have let him suffer for a bit that it did not work....
