Lost Key/Easy Frunk Opening
So last week my ONLY Spyder key got lost. I called the dealer and their first suggestion was to call a locksmith so I called six and none could help. I then called the dealer again and they said I have to replace the ignition at $1000 cost. I started to question why I only got one key with the purchase of my brand new Spyder from them and the tone changed dramatically. I was was told to get it to the dealer and they would get me a new key. It is still at the dealer and I have no idea yet how they plan to fix this. Will update when final resolution occurs. Oh and by the way UHAULS 6' x 12' open trailer only has a 5' opening so it is plenty big for the bike but getting it on (sideways imight add) I scraped the fenders. :banghead: :yikes: :pray:
What I did find in this ordeal so far is a WAY too easy method of opening the trunk and seat without a key. If you turn the handlebars hard right there is a cable with a small white marking coming out of the ignition housing. The is enough slack in mine to create a small loop. I just grabbed hold pulled a a little (do not need to yank) and the Frunk popped open (I have a frunk spring). I turned the handle bar the other way and there was a solid black cable same place on the other side. Gave that a pull and sure enough the seat came open. I am sure this is universal for all RS models not sure about RT or ST models.
FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE
If the dealer you bought the Spyder from is telling you they have NO RECORD of what the KEY NUMBER is / was I think this is pure BS . Heck they can plug your Spyder in to BUDS and tell everything that has gone on with it since it left VALCOURT.....and IF you supply the VIN # alone they can tell you how many service issues the Spyder has had done........BUT for only $1000 they can FIX THIS ................sounds like another " DEALER FROM H*LL "........Mike

I live in Ohio but chose to go to West Virginia to buy my 2012 Can-Am Spyder RT-S SM5. I discovered, just as you did, that the U-Haul trailer would not work. Fortunately, someone in my church had 10' x 6' trailer that he and his teenage sons used to haul their ATV's. Worked like a charm.

Upon delivery, the dealership gave me a small ziplock bag that included the following:
I received 2 keys. A zip tie held the 2 keys and a small tag together. The small tag has the key number in case I needed to have my key remade.
I received 2 adapters for my audio system. One was to allow me to connect my IPOD/ITOUCH/IPHONE/IPAD to my stereo system. I can control my audio device through the sound system and handlebar controls when I connect an POD/ITOUCH/IPHONE/IPAD.
I also received a connector that allowed me to connect ANY audio device with a standard RCA plug outlet. You cannot control any features of the device, but at least you can play your own music through your stereo system.
Lastly, I received a key cylinder that could be installed on the Can-Am trailer should I choose to buy that option in the future. You insert your Spyder key into the cylinder and turn and the cylinder masters the key. That way, one Spyder key serves as your ignition; can unlock your trunk and rear side storage compartments; and your trailer.
