Best key holder????? Need Ideas!!

[LisaT]

I am looking to get a key holder for my Spyder key, as the leather one I have now seems to interfere with unlatching the frunk... Need input on what and where to get something....thanks in advance everyone!!!

I think the best key holder is the OEM key scabbard that comes with all Spyder keys. The Scabbard can either be mounted onto a key ring or simply be used to protect the key while out of the ignition and in a coat/pant packet. In my opinion, the Spyder ignition area is not a good location for a big key ring with a lot sorts of keys, gadgets, and toys. I think that it would also unnecessarily cause scratches to the panels and dash area.

Got one of these for each key and a "Insert Before Flight" fob. The fob is made of canvas material and won't scratch anything.

Pierre over at Can Am spyder Accessories / spyder TV has just come out with some nice ones with choice of color and a lanyard. Has gold, silver, blue, red. black. They are nicely made with quality materials...

the one i used to use I've got one of these in black, I needed to keep trailer and Spyder key together

I use a black one of these, because I need to keep my Spyder and Trailer key together, and out of my pocket

with those, they are expensive at $29 but they are good quality.

Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner but FYI the one works best for me is Keyport IMG_4712.jpg. IMG_0854.jpg Holds what I need for everyday use & all is easily operated single handily. https://www.mykeyport.com/
Additional info: 2013 & prior chips can be cloned & Keyport offers the chip & placement needed
2014 & later require other chip functions that they know & you will need to talk with them for better description & requirements

The best I've found costs almost nothing. put a small regular key ring and made a paracord laynard so I can feel it in my pocket. Works fine, nothing to scratch the paint.

I agree. I keep mine on a key ring by itself and keep it in my pocket.

I used this method for my last two bikes.

But I am going to try Pierre's and Dave's holders on the new bike, and see which one works the best!

Agree, just put the key on a ring.

[Bob Denman]

That always worked for me in the past...

...But this time around: I'm open to trying something new.

[wyliec]

I'm old school, and continue to use Lamont's IPS. I'm not sure he sells them anymore. I leave it right in the ignition; most people don't know what it is.

You remove it from the main key ring? I may even try the one at the far left.

I have a fob too..."No It's NOT his bike"...LOL

Yup! I keep it on a Carabiner Clip, that hangs from a belt loop.

That pic. I'm referencing, whose key holder is that, and where might I find that hook and strap?

[Bob Denman]

This one?

It came from Pierre.

We were assured that it doesn't interfere with the DESS...
But it was a concern of mine also!

Same with me, and so far no problem with anyone even suspecting it's the ignition. Now, with that said, if I'm on a trip and staying in a hotel/motel, I take the key out at night.

[wyliec]

Strongly recommend against that one unless you have DESS turned off. Looks like a very effective RFI shield for the chip embedded in the key. Just asking for trouble in a system already prone to be so.

I have a 2008GS. I don't think I remember that being a problem with the early spyders.

I'm curious. Do you say that b/c of how much metal is being used? If that's the case, Lamont's IPS had much more metal. I'm wondering if that's why he doesn't sell them anymore, unless I missed them on his site.

All the others are great but some are very costly
$$$$$$$$$ 39.95 is a bit much for some people
mine are $9.95
Ask those that have them they work great and do not
give you trouble when in the ignition the key will fully engage
Call me to get yours.

Time will tell the tale...
After all: it's not a permanent attachment.
If there's a hint of difficulties: it gets pulled, and I break out the drill!
