Has anyone ever mounted the transponder part of a key next to the ignition to bypass DESS?

Has anyone ever taken the transponder part of a key, and simply mounted it underneath the bezel next to the ignition? Seems like a simple way to "bypass" the system without doing anything.

Then a regular key would work, right?

(Of course it's probably been done and my search-fu was just not good enough to uncover the thread)

I'm not sure why you would want to do this. It doesn't make it any simpler to start your bike.

Because then you could use unchipped keys.

It only takes one key to run it and one as a spare, as the spare is needed to get a new key made if you lose the main one. My spare is hidden in a locked compartment, I have a key cut that is always on my key ring in my pocket that unlocks the compartments.

Or you could just get the DESS disabled, cos as a 'Security System', that has been proven to be a tad problematic on many of the 2014 to 2018 Spyders across the model range, and on some newer Spyders too, albeit only 'a few' of the newer machines... Bearing in mind that if the DESS fails, it's often in a way that's not just something you can work around - it's a 'contact help and get it towed somewhere to wait until they can source and replace a bunch of components' type of job, while you sit around Spyderless for a few days (IF you're lucky! ) cos your Spyder just won't run AT ALL until the DESS issue is sorted!

So even if you '... simply mount the transponder part of a key ...' anywhere that works, chances are pretty high that your Spyder is still not gonna run at all if/when your DESS fails, no matter where you are or how many transponders &/or keys you have!!
