program a new spare RT Key

[strmgra]

I had to get a new spare key the other day, for my RT. Took key to Hardware store and had it cut. Now it needs to be programed. Dealer says instructions are in owners manual....no true!
Does anyone know how or know where the instructions can be found.

Did you buy a BRP key?
What year is your Spyder?

You will need a master key to do it yourself, some hardware stores can do it.:ohyea:

Yes, I got the $49.95 key from my Spyder Dealer and I do have one of the original keys.

:agree: :dontknow:

Without that information; it's tough to offer any advice.
But; the 2008 to 10213 bikes are a bit easier to deal with, and you CAN just clone a key...
The 2014s require being hooked up to BUDS... :shocked:

...and no cloning! :gaah:

Sorry, it is a 2012 RT A&C.

Then you you need to take the new key, the Spyder and all keys you want to keep working back to your dealer. He will program the Spyder to accept the new key and the lost key and other keys that are not present will be deleted.

Great, I will have to call him. He called someone and they told him the instructions were in the owners manual, so obviously he is not aware of how to program it. Thanks for your help.

To add or reprogram a key, carry out the following steps:
1. Insert an already programmed functional key
into the ignition switch.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. Turn the ignition key to OFF.
4. Press MODE button for 3 seconds.
5. Wait 5 seconds.
6. Remove programmed key.
7. Insert MASTER KEY (P/N 529 036 106).

NOTE: The master key is purposely “not cut” and will not turn in the ignition switch.
1. No notches
2. RED colored

8. Wait until the cluster displays MASTER.
9. Remove the master key.
10. Insert a key to program.

The list of instructions given by Bob is correct. A little point that I missed the first time I did that was that the "already programmed functional key" that you use to start the process must also be put through the learning process or it will not work with the bike.

Yup. On 2013 models or older.

Does the dealer do this procedure? Or, do you purchase the master key? If you purchase, how much is it?

Someone who has a master key has to do it. You can purchase them online, I think I paid around $30 for mine. If you do a search on the forum, the part number has been posted more than a few times.
