Is the Volkswagen Car Key Waterproof?

[Jon]

Volkswagen car keys are designed with daily water resistance but are not waterproof for diving. Although the exterior of car remote keys is generally made of waterproof materials, there are gaps between the keys and circuit boards inside. Therefore, the key should not be submerged in water as this could damage the internal components. Here are some methods to handle a wet car key: 1. Do not press any buttons immediately after the key gets wet, as this may allow moisture to penetrate deeper. 2. Dry the surface of the key, open the casing, remove the battery, and use highly absorbent paper towels to wipe the internal components. 3. Use a hair dryer on the cool setting to dry the key; avoid using hot air as the circuit board inside should not be overheated. 4. Gently wipe the internal button contacts and other parts with high-concentration alcohol, let it dry, and then reinstall the battery.
