I leave my electronic key in the car and lock the vehicle using a manual key that I had made specifically for shore diving that unfortunately don't do very often locally.

I won't get into the old threads on this, but assume your special key method solves any problems with the car alarm.I leave my electronic key in the car and lock the vehicle using a manual key that I had made specifically for shore diving that unfortunately don't do very often locally.

My wife and I are doing initial long range planning for a Curacao dive/snorkel trip when it is safe to travel again. We will be doing a combination of shore/boat diving and snorkeling, and are looking for a reliable dry box for carrying a new IPhone and electronic car key when doing shore dive/snorkeling in locations where it would not be safe or wise to leave valuable items in the car. Ideally I would like to find a box/canister capable of reliably keeping my new IPhone safe to 120', preferably one that could fit in my DiveRite bellows pocket (8 x 6 x 2 inches) which I have on my bp/w waist strap. I have a couple of Otterbox 2000s, supposedly good to 100', but are about 8 years old, barely used, but I don't know if I can trust them with the crazy expensive new smart phones. Any ideas and recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I figure you have to have some device-- key or whatever-- outside the car to turn off the alarm before you stick a key in the door (IF you can in fact do that with a new car you may have today....).You know I never thought of that and I've never had an issue.
There is a manual key in the key fob itself but it cannot be removed, but in the car my daughter drives the manual key can be removed. Both vehicles are Land Rovers.
how does your alarm not go off if you're entering the car with a non-chip key?
