I got one of those Aprilla keys and gave it to my dealer to cut and clone. They didn't charge me, but it only worked for two days. Then I started getting a "bad key" error message. Anyone ever have that happen? I wonder if I can have it re-cloned.
No offense, but something is off here. When you add a key to a pre-2014 RT using the dealer system, it adds each key's code into a lookup table. When you clone a key it takes on the code of the original key. So if you clone key A, when you use the clone key, the Spyder (internally) says, I recognize key A, so I'll let them start me up.
So in your case, you are getting a "bad key" error. If it is a true cloned key then your original should also give you a "bad Key" error because they are sending out the same code.
I have had cloned Aprila keys for over a year now. I use them instead of my OEM keys and have not had a problem with them.
