ON A recent trip I had frequent occasions when DESS ERRER came up on the screen when I tried to start my 2014 RT limited. Sometimes a picture of a key would also come up and the engine wouldn't start. The problem became increaseingly worse and I had to call emergence Road service and have my Spyder taken to a dealer. The Dealer was courteous and tried to be help but couldn't find the cause. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? Bookboy.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Yah, I've got and ongoing problem with that. Sometimes if I turn it off and turn it right back on, it'll go. Other times if I take the key out and put it back in, it'll go. The dealer re-programmed my keys, but it threw another one while I was on the Gaspe. The dealer says if it continues, he's going to replace the ignition so I guess that's the direction I'm heading in now.

This past Sunday mine would not start, I was in Wis. dealer there put the computer on it and it showed there was no key in it so they changed it out and I came back to Mo. When I called my dealer to get its 3,000 mi. done they told me it would probably happen again that BRP thinks it is in the software but hope to find it soon my dealer has had several in the last couple of weeks. And while I was in Wisconson a gentleman told me he had just had his replaced and already was getting the orange key so was taking his back to be checked out, hope they find it soon before I head to spyder in the smokies.
Mine did it too
About 3 weeks ago on the way home from Pigeon Forge I stopped for gas and when I tried to start it up I got the key symbol and DESS. I took the key out and walked away 3 times before it let me start it. I didn't cut it off until I got home and took it to my dealer the next day. He said it showed that the key and the ignition weren't communicating. He had to order a new ignition and it cured the problem. 2014 LTD by the way.

Turn the key off. Wait 30 seconds and then try again. Repeat. Also move everything away that has a strong radio signal such as a cell phone.

Keep that picture for proof with the dealer. Depending on how far away from the dealer you are. You should have free towing as part of your warranty.

DESS
I had the same problem with my 2014 RTL a couple weeks ago. Finally got it started and immediately took it to the dealer. Turned it off at the dealer and sure enough, as the tech was looking at it the DESS came on. They had to order a replacement switch module and new keys for me. Took a couple days, but haven't had the problem since. Hope this fixes the problem.
