Lost Keys but got new Ignition and DESS - need programming or will it work?

[gcronk3]

My son lost the keys to his F3. I was able to get an ignition switch and DESS. Will I have to have it programmed or will it work after I install it?

Need to program keys to ecm. You probably didn't need the module

It came as part of the package.

Yes, program the ignition switch and the keys.

If you didn't have the " orange screen of death " ie. DESS module Failure .... then I think you were scammed by the dealer ..... JMHO .... Mike :thumbup:

Well it doesn't matter. Shop I ordered from couldn't find the parts so they refunded my money. Thanks everyone for the help.

So if you're still going to be using the original DESS & Ignition Switch, any good locksmith should be able to cut a key to suit; but even in that case you'll need to get the key programmed, & probably only a KNOWLEDGEABLE BRP Dealer could do that!! :shocked:

Still, if you don't have ANY key at all now, you might need to get that DESS Module with a couple of keys to match anyway!! :dontknow: . The ignition barrel itself is just something that takes a key & any good locksmith who wants to bother should be able to sort out something - it's the DESS module that does the Security & Immobilising, and that can be a pain!!

Good Luck! :cheers:

Another reason to have the DESS module deactivated.

I believe the Dess module decodes the key and send a signal to the ECU to start the Spyder.
