I cant find any of my spyder keys and it seems its going to be 500.00 to replace it, Having to replace the DESS and the Ignition is a ****ty design choice by BRP. Even on Cars you don't have to replace the entire ignition system if you lose your keys. I'm continuing my search for my misplaced key.

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.
Dont lose your spyder keys.

Hope you can come up with at least one. Keys are crazy these days. My last car rental, they told me lose the key, $500 charge. :yikes:

What happened to your spare key? :dontknow:
If you can find that; just take it, and your bike to the dealer. You can get a new key cut, and the system re-programmed quickly! :2thumbs:

So then, if you lost both, why can't you get a new key, with a new chip, cut according to our key code, and then have the system re-programmed to the new chip?

On pre-2014 spyders you have to have a working key to enter into the process for adding a key and the keys you are adding must also be present. The 2014s add keys through BUDS, but I don't have a service manual to verify if you can do that without a working key being physically present at the time.

THAT's why it's so important to take good care of them...
Sorry! :shocked:
I hope that you can find one of them; good luck! :thumbup:

BRP told me id have to have a new ignition and DESS installed. I'm not sure where all the paperwork is for when i bought the bike, am trying to find that as well because it has my spare key with it. I've torn my house apart looking for the key. I don't believe its in the frunk, but if it is..I have no way to get into there to look.
This would have never happened if this was a normal key that you could attach a keyring too, Unless BRP wants you to lose them so you pay up.

Bummer..!!
could you have locked one or both in the storage compartments..?? This is common, putting your key in your jacket pocket then tossing the jacket in the trunk... Don't know of any other way to get a key. On earlier models you could clone keys from one good one. Always have one at home....hope one shows up....

I need to find a way to get into the trunk without the key.

There have been people who were able to get into the frunk, but I haven't read of anyone getting into the trunk or the sidebags.

$500.00 is for the ignition switch and DESS module only it does not include the labour to change them out. I would add another $200 for labour. So find that key. Even if had of cut an unchipped key that would saved changing the ignition switch and only the DESS would have to be changed.
Taking into account the cost involved I think I would contact a locksmith who specialises in auto keys and get him to pick the lock
on the trunk so at least you can satisfy yourself that your missing key isn't there. Most good locksmiths can open most locks by picking,
raking or 'bumping' the lock.

And they give you 2 keys wired together so you can't give one to the wife as an emergency!

The service tech at my dealer can open the frunk by going from behind and under the trunk some way. He has a tool he made so he can activate the latch by pushing or pulling it I'm not sure which.

If a locksmith can make you a key then yes just the DESS needs to be replaced. But I don't think they can. Unless you have the rubber tag with the key code. Then a locksmith with a special machine can cut a new key from that code. But I assuming that the tag is with the spare key that you can't find.
