car keys

I know someone had some sort of lock system (not a wife or girlfriend) for your car keys when surfing alone. My car keys simply can't get wet. Anyone remember or find the link?

Thanks in advance.

Tis called the keypod and its what all the cool kids use nowadays.

Remember if someone really wants in, they'll just smash your window. Don't leave anything too valuable in your car.
Those key pods get a bit finicky after a while, getting very difficult to open and close.

You should be able to get a plastic key for your car from the dealers that will only open the doors, not start the car. You can take this key out surfing with you.

The very thing... Thanks.

My keys can't get wet either so I just went to a hardware shop and got them to cut me a key, only the actuall key part on a normal metal key. This will only unlock the door but if you have an immobaliser it won't start the engine.

Now all I do is activate the central locking with the drivers door open (this activates the immobiliser) then just hide the real key in the van and shut and lock my door manually with the key I got cut.

Which I can then take into the water with me and paddle to my hearts content!

Voila.

Now, thats good thinking! Do they do those flat keys I wonder? (new VW) Thanks for the advice..

They should do, Maybe a coded key will cost more but all you need is the actual key shape cut onto a basic key.

Be sure and dry it when you come out though! they rust fast.
