Has anyone experienced a "Bad Key" message when attempting to start the F3s?

Yes our head tech at the dealer we use told me to spray the ignition switch with electrical contact cleaner .
We did that and it solved our issue , it might help yours .
Some have had to get the modual replaced also. Good luck

YEP!!

I have a 2015 F3-S SE6 and both keys have the issue from time to time. BRP said to take it to local dealer to have it checked. I have read several post that state it is a know issue on some Spyders.

Here is a bigger issue: GETTING IT REPAIRED
I drop off at the dealer, they evaluate it and report to BRP(day1), they wait for BRP to reply and my do more tests (day2), BRP says it is an issue and sends part(day 3-7), dealer gets part and calls me (day8).

This is my main transportation. My local dealer will not let me come in and have it tested, and they return when part gets there.
