Remote Key Fob

[paulc]

Went diving with my remote key fog in the pocket of my drysuit at the weekend - now buggered! Anyone know of any suppliers of replacements (apart from a dealer - no doubt v.expensive)?

Cheers,

Paul

Anyone????

Do you know what make alarm it is? I doubt if it would be Toyota as remote alarms weren't fitted to 2nd gens...........were they??????

Before you write off the existing one, try opening it up, removing the battery (and if it was salt or dirty water, give it a good rinse next), and then roasting the life out of it with a hairdryer.

I often use this method (coupled with cleaning in an ultrasonic tank) with mobile fone circuit boards with about a 75% success rate, its worth a go.

The most important thing is to do it as soon as possible before the water can corrode too much of the circuitry)

Wow Just put a new battery in it and it works fine - survived an hour at 35metres in the English Channel, I didn't even rinse it out! That's Toyota for for you!
