• 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.

Ignition Key

Bummer.....

If it was new from the dealer you should have gotten two...:banghead: even used the dealer should provide two or at least tell you they can get you a second one for a sizeable chunk of change. They are, at the moment, the only place in town...:banghead:
 
Just received a blank ignition key I ordered for my 2015 RT Ltd. Part # 710004408. Got it from Florida Central Powersports thru Amazon. No shipping, no tax. best deal I found. Finding a place to get it cut was tough. I found a Can Am dealer reasonably close that will do it then program it for about $30. Most places I talked to wanted $50 and could not cut it. Good Luck!!
 
I don't think so. The new key and your old one need to be reprogrammed at the dealer; it's part of the theft security system.
 
I am in the same boat you are. I just have one key. One dealer told me it would be $80.00 to get the key and have it programmed.

I thought they could clone your key if you still had a good original? BTW if you can get key blank cut and programed for under $100.00 you`re doing good. Just a simple old Jeep Grand Cherokee (2000) is $132,00 here at the dealer and $185 at the hardware store.

No one has reported successfully cloning a key for a 2014 model and later.

Not only the two keys but they also need the bike in order to program the keys. For about 35 bucks you can buy a master for 2013 and older and program them yourself.
 
Any independent shop with BUDS can program new keys. I have done a number of them for our customers. Its not a dealer only item by any means.
 
Speaking of Keys

Hello,

Just picked up my first Spyder- F3-T. I notice that the keys don't have a hole to allow them to be put on a key ring. This seems amazingly lame. Am I missing something?

Thanks
 
CapnPete, No, they normally come with a sleeve that the key slips into and it has a keychain hole. SL Sponsor MotorcycleDave and others offer a key cover key chain adapter for the Spyder keys.

You can poke a hole. Look around here there are photos of where to do so. The hole is already in the key frame, its just covered in rubber.

We have all our CanAm keys on rings with the garage door opener fob.

That's true: it's not a "Dealer Only" item.

But it still requires BUDS: and you'll find most*** setups at a dealership.






*** but obviously not ALL! :D

At least you have a dealer that can program your key. I am SOL if I ever lose the one key I have now. I did get a spare key cut in Virginia while on business but no dealer or shop here in Hawaii can program key for my Spyder. The bright side is that I can at least open the Frunk!
