Default Key FOB...

Hi. New to the LR2 forums.

I live in San Diego and spend a lot of time in the water. I used to be able to put my key in my wetsuit and/or boardshorts when out surfing, kayaking, scuba diving etc... Now that I have an LR2, I have been told that the key fob is not waterproof and really dont know how to secure my key when I am in the water. All of the lockboxes and hide a key/secure a key that attach to vehicles do not fit because the key fob is so big. There is an option to add a tow hitch receiver and there is a lockbox for the towhitch but that is pretty expensive solution. Does anyone else have a workaround?

I guess you could take the "emergency" key out of the fob itself. Its a regular key and part of the door handle pops off to use it. Its there in case your battery runs out on the key fob itself.

Just go have a blank key cut that you can carry with you.

Is the emergency key waterproof?
Is that the key that I take to get cut?

Its the only key you have for the truck, so yes it would be the one you have cut.

Pull it out of the fob and take a look at it. I think it would probably be waterproof. But its probably safer to get a key cut from that key and put the emergency key back into the fob.

That's funny, the sales person who sold me the car told me that the key fob was waterproof up to 200 meters/ 50 feet.
