    Hi Dave....WELCOME to M/A! :Thumbsup: I can't help you with your key fob issue, as my MINIs are all Generation 1s, and because I have never had any issues with my key fobs. However, fear not, there are a lot of Gen 2 owners here who can and will offer some solutions. Good luck! :fingerscrossed:

    Hi there, and welcome to the alliance.

    Not personally, but the internet indicates the importance of fully drying before trying...else frying and :cryin:..... so you may be looking at getting a replacement. I wish you luck.

    When my cell phone went through the wash, the first thing I did was remove the battery, then I rinsed it out with 95% isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. It survived.

    If you didn't take your key apart and dry it, before using it, I'm afraid it's dead.

    Heya Dave. Welcome to MA from another air-cooled VW nut. MINIs are so much more fun. Actually, I'm strying to find my old bus (71 Westy) and buy it back.

    be glad it still starts the car! replacing them isn't fun.

    I'm still a VW owner as well - trying to find a classic beetle get around town in eventually.

    Welcome Aboard! I had air cooled and water cooled VWs. I like my MINI much better.
