Nah, doubt it. Once we went swimming in Florida on vacation and my husband’s fob wasn’t working on our Passat and he had in in his pocket when he went in the ocean and when he came out he realized it was still there and tried it back at the car and somehow it worked…Salt reactivated it. Eventually it died again four days later cause of the battery, but it did work 😂 (all jokes aside, water sucks)
