was wondering whether the key remote was waterproof, i ask this because i accidently left my remote in my pants pocket when i washed a load of my clothes. when i realized what i had done it was too late.i was convinced it was toast but i tried to use it anyway,somehow it still worked . maybe i was lucky but i always use the extra rinse cycle, so it was submerged twice.just curious if anyone knew.

Like all electronics, just give it a long time.
It might still work, but I'd wait a while so it dries for sure.

it's been three weeks and it's still workin fine, with most remotes when wet the second you press any button,that's when you destroy it i figured it was toast so i immediately pressed the unlock buton and it worked.

There is a rubber seal that closes the battery and Siemens chip from the outside environments, so yes its water reistant to a certain extent. I washed my TL keys and ended buying new keys lol. I guess Mercedes has thought of something simple like washing keys too. :p

thanks, i figured it probably was sealed after going through all of that.
