I'll keep this thread open.

I was able to have the DESS dis-abled so now it isn't ever going to be an issue ... If you can take off the FRUNK, I recommend moving the module. After it's moved you now have very easy access if it ever fails ( 10 minutes in the dark without a flashlite in a rainstorm ) ..... Mike
I recently watched a Youtube video from "It's Yours. OWN It" showing how he purchased BUDS with Megatech program to disable his DESS Module. He stated he had the dreaded DESS pop up twice. Pretty interesting, although he didn't show the actual Module itself where it was located.
So, I had commented to him with "Great video, but a little worrisome not knowing "when" you will encounter the DESS dilemma. I have the 2014 RTS as well. Is there a way of knowing if this module has already been updated? My curiosity is in full mode now.
His reply was ....."the location of the Module was behind the frunk, and also listed the "Updated part #710004916" and the "Original part #710004190". Also stated there is no programming that needs done, it is plug and play". So, someday I just may take the frunk off to cure my curiosity to see if indeed it had been replaced at some point.
Mike, I like your idea of relocating the Module to an easier access location. Great recommendation! Thanks

I have to agree there with the problems it incurs. Disable it and be done with it, from what I have been reading.
Talk about having a bad day ...this would be at the top of the list. They say, "walkin' ain't crowded", but.... ugh!

Biorick, You are Welcome, for the Bump on the thread.
Is there anyone around/or near you to disable the D.E.S.S in case you need to?

The $135.00 is for the DESS module .... the DIY is if you can take the frunk off .... the rest is a piece of cake ........ Mike

There is a motorsports dealer about 30 miles from me that are selling, and I'm assuming servicing, Spyders. Have to watch that "assuming" though. Just not sure what all their "Can Am" capabilities are at the moment. I need to call and ask, just in case.

I have NEVER heard of any dealer that would / could dis-able the DESS. .... BRP would yank dealership association with BRP products. Even if someone has a BUDS license it may not be able to dis-connect the DESS with the normal version of the license ..... Mike

Still so much to learn about these dealers, their "cans and can'ts", and their "do's and don'ts". Its like Spyder Course 101 at it's finest! Still so much to learn. But having fun as I go!
Good for you, keep it up!! Some people on here get there pants in a wad some times, just bear with us, we are all learning one model at a time!!

That would be a good idea to ask them.

Wow, that really sucks! Sorry to hear that. Since you have had to replace 2 Modules, I can see how Mike's advice for relocating the module would definitely be of a great advantage for ease of access. OR, as others suggested, just have it disabled.

Disable it. Even if you relocate it, it will still leave you stranded unless you carry a spare.
