Yes it could make the Spyders more at risk for theft but I imagine it would be a trade off that some here would be willing to accept instead of being stranded when DESS prevents their machine from starting. Maybe only dealers could know how to temporarily bypass with BUDS. It would be nice if some mechanical and electronics specialist could come up with a device or way to bypass DESS. It could exist out there but unfortunately only to those that sell "hot" Spyders. Good luck to all having these problems. Keep this thread going until a solution is found.
Please keep this thread going. What Larryd said" BRP needs to get a handle on this problem. My first spyder was a 2012RTS-SE5 I did not have the D.E.S.S. issue.
