I like having the remote locks with the keys. I think I'll just pick up one of their waterproof boxes and hopefully that'll be it for the rest of the time I own the car.

Has anyone ever talked to their insurance agent to see if this can be covered under comprehensive coverage? I was surprised when State Farm covered rodent damage in my sister in law's Honda.

At least one of us has been successful in having their car insurance cover this....

I just ordered mine today.

What about getting a good used unit from someone like Woody (ItsNotANova) and sending it down to the guys in FL with your old one to have them program it using the info off your old one? I don't know if this can be done, just throwing ideas out there...

Thanks for all the input to all. What I am ending up doing, thanks to good input from Woody, is sending my unit to Steve (Qmalas) in Colorado. he's going to repair mine at what will in all likelihood be a significantly lower cost. I am sure going to put it in the waterproof box, that's sort of a easy decision to make. I don't want to go through this again.

Ive read a lot of these threads on wet Immobilizers and was wondering would it be a good idea to raise it up off the floor with spacers and longer bolts? I have not removed the seat to look yet
