I need to take a car key into water but I'm unsure whether to get a waterproof wallet for the normal key or get a spare key cut without the immobilser/remote part, so that I just unlock the door.

Can I just go to a normal key cutting shop to get this and approximately how much would it be? Also if the normal key was left in the car could this invalidate the insurance?

I've also seen this 'Keypod' where you can lock them to the toweye but I'm not sure if this can invalidate the insurance aswell.

Any advice welcomed.

Thanks

I think leaving any key in the car would render your insurance void if the car was stolen.

The transponder is in a glass capsule

the remote part obviosly wouldn't survive a dip

oddly enough where I used to work a guy dropped his Rover key with remote in Green wood preserver dip tank after an hour of trying to retrieve it was rescued. and after it had dryed it still worked.

After reading about Keypod and similar safe's, I think something like an 'Aquapac' is the way to go.
