    Found a new type of key holder online. Now there is no need to drill a hole in the key.

    problem with them for me is you cant just remove the key like the sheathe that comes with the spyder correct? I had this on my yamaha where you have to put the whole keyring in the ignition that leads to some scratches around the ignition.

    Default Why do we even need a key?

    As long as we have to have a key, I think that the key sheathe, that Can Am came up with, works extremely well.

    But what I don't understand is... As electronically sophisticated as the Can Am Spyder is, why do we need a key at all? Why can't we just keep a key fob in our pocket and push a button to start the Spyder? . I believe that feature is available on some of the newer Can Am am off-road vehicles.

    How do you like the key holder?
    Do you get any codes on your spyder?

    I will check the eBay website.

    agreed, the best feature of my car, which is gadget laden, is not having to dig in your pockets for the keys anymore.

    Default Very nice...

    I think it is the best looking one for those who want their key on a ring. Saw this one a while back but think ebay and amazon have recently started offering them...

    I really like it. I only put the ignition key and saddle bag keys on a really small ring so nothing gets scratched.

    No no codes come up with this key holder. There was a question when I got the bad key error but I explained that I started getting that before I put the key holder's on the key's. No problems since they fixed that issue.

    No codes. It's the only key on the ring, which I attach to my slacks with a line, because that way I can't leave the key in the byke and run down the battery.

    I keep a spare on my main key ring, with car keys and house keys etc. Will not use this much, as I broke my car key when I was not careful. Over $100 for a replacement car key! Yikes!!!!!!

    Your mileage may vary........

    Default Keyport and chips

    Disclaimer - I work at Keyport HQ. I just want to clarify some information. The Slide does work great for the Spyders, and can support the transponder chip, no problem! If you have a specific question or need to know how the process works, please feel free to contact us through the mykeyport website for further details. The Keyport Slide is designed for this very application and use with bikes, trikes, cars, planes and all types of things that need keys!

    There is a new Slide 3.0 on Kickstarter for another 24 hours, you can search Keyport on Kickstarter to see the new goodies.

    Again, any specific questions about use of the Keyport with a Spyder - I am more than happy to help!

    Cheers,
    Aimee

    I have these key holders also. If I remember, they were like 20-25 dollars each. To me, they are worth every penny. They fit solid on to my Spyder key !! I like that !!!

    My solution is a simple leather cover. Drop the key in, and it's held in place by a split ring. The one I found even has an embossed spider. I found several examples on the internet.

    As for the rubber chicken, that makes it easy to find, especially if I drop it. And it doesn't mar the handlebars.

    Hi Aimee!

    Questions: Do we need to supply you with the proper chip, or do you source that for us?
    After we receive it back from you; I assume that we have to get the key that you provide programmed by out dealer...
    Do you have any problems with the 2014 and later "Crypto-Chip" keys?
    (My Spyder is a 2014...)
    Thanks!
