I have a 2015 Can Am Spyder that I purchased used. It had only one key with it. Is the only place to get a key made is at a dealer? I got a price of 80.00 dollars from a dealer. Can anyone else program a key if I get a blank for it? That seems pretty high but I do all my own service work and I know dealers do not like that.

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.

Eighty bucks is a GREAT price. I bought a key on line and paid the dealer to program it and it was $120.00 total. The initial spare I bought when I bought the bike was $140.00 with programming with a 20% discount. Now I have a key, there is a spare in a secure place on the bike and my wife has another key just in case. That's since I lost a key on a ride, my wife left her key at home, and if a passer-by hadn't found my key we would have needed to be towed home.

Yes you do. 2014 on you have to have someone who has BUDS program the key into the DESS. 2013 & earlier if you had a 'master key' you could program it yourself.
To the OP, you have to buy the blank from the dealer. Make sure it's for 2014 and later. You can have it cut anywhere. Then back to the dealer to have it programmed into the DESS. Contrary to keys 2013 & earlier the newer key itself is not programmed. It's ID is entered into DESS using BUDS.
List price for the blank key is around $55. Add to that the price to have it cut and the dealer to program it into the DESS. Some dealers will program it in at no or little cost.

I went through the same thing and it cost about $100. $50 for the key, and another $50 to program it.

Sounds like the $80.00 Deal is the better way to go. GET 'ER DONE :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
