New spare key

[daltmeyer]

I bought my key at lockpicks.com and was able to get it cloned at Yoders Hardware in Plain City Ohio

I just took a little road trip after work to Yoders True Value in Plain City... Another successful endeavor! 2 transponder key blanks cloned and cut for $3.42!

Thanks for the info!

Bridges Hardware (True Value) was successful! $10 in Kings Mountain, NC. The Key is a little short, so it's difficult to push in and open frunk and raise seat, but it starts the spyder fine. It will also lock and open the trunk. I emailed Lockpicks and ask them if they had a longer one. Haven't heard from them yet.

Most likely whoever cut the key didn't get it set just right in the machine. Only takes a "hair" off to produce what you have.

So can they recut it!?

If it has been cut too deep, no. If it has been cut shallow, maybe yes.

Spare Key

I have some additional information on the JMA ZD23RT5 key that I would like to pass on to everyone here.
If your local hardware store has this brand of I-Key reader/programmer, it should work.
Hy-Ko C3 I-Tool Chip Reader/Programmer


The JMA key scans as a Series 100 - 110 I-Key. Therefore, this particular machine is able to read and write to it. Here are the basic steps to clone or copy your Spyder key:

• Insert the OEM key into the reader
• Using the computer mouse, click on "read"
• If the reader reads the key correctly, you can click on "next"

The computer will tell you when to remove the key and insert blank key.

• Insert the unprogrammed JMA key and click on "write"

The computer will tell you if the writing process was successful or not.
If successful, you will see a green screen telling you it succeeded in writing the code to the blank key.

• When you have your key cut, make certain that the person cutting the key has it positioned properly in the cutting machine

As stated previously by billybovine, if the key is not properly cut, (for example too shallow) there is a chance it can be repositioned in the machine and cut again. Otherwise, you will have to try again with another key.
Some hardware stores may not want to cut the key because if not done correctly the first time, they won't have another identical key to replace it. Also, when making certain that the person cutting the key has it positioned properly, ask nicely. He or she is doing you a favor. You wouldn't want to upset them right before they cut it.

I noticed a sign on the do-it-yourself machine at Lowes home supply stores that they could clone keys with chips.

Some Wal-Mart super stores can program chip keys, but they are pretty expensive. My local store charges $24.95 to program the key and that does not include the key itself. If you get caught in a bind, I guess it's an option...

I have been a locksmith for twenty plus years , we stopped doing auto work about 15 years ago when the transponders came out. Basically because of the software up dates . But If I thought it would be helpful I would dust of the old key machine and update the electronics bring some blanks to Spyderquest .:thumbup:hyea:

I'm bringing two blanks to spyderquest. Are you going to bring your machine? How can I find you? Thanks!

Just tell them it is a basic T5 chip

Just picked up 2 keys. Now to find an inexpensive clone solution close to Knoxville

If you have the programmable blanks, a lot of locksmiths can clone them, THEY JUST DON'T KNOW IT!

Your best option is to have a local automotive locksmith duplicate and clone your key onto the key blank. That way you keep possession of your key. Most automotive locksmiths have cloning devices since most cars use transponders these days. They may not know that their device will clone a Can-Am so just tell them it is a basic T5 chip that any cloning device will clone.

Could you post instructions

You can program up to four keys by using the master key PN#. 529-036-106 from BRP parts dept, cost is $30.00. Instructions are in the service Manuel, By sitting on your spyder.

buds is not required. :2thumbs:

Could you post instructions on how to do this? Please
I have a 2012 RT SE and it only came with 1 key.
Thanks in advance

Instructions are in the service manual. Cloning would be a cheaper alternative for you. Going the route with the Master Key requires that you buy a Can-Am new key, get it cut, then either buy the Master Key or find someone to do the process for you. The clonable blanks are running about $7 at the place I ordered mine and I paid less than ten dollars to have the key cut and cloned.

All of this works and is applicable to pre-2014 models, but does anybody know what the difference in the key chip and/or transponders?

Hi Cliff,

Re: The clonable blanks are running about $7 at the place I ordered mine and I paid less than ten dollars to have the key cut and cloned.

How about some info you where you did what?

1. Where did you buy the $7 key?

2. Where did you have it cut & cloned?

Thanks,

In the market for a 'clone' or two

The pre-2014s could be copied (cloned) into a key that carried a TP-05 chip
The new ones use TP-12 Crypto chips
I've got a keyblank, and a chip on order. Once they get here; I'll give them to my dealer, and see what kind of magic trick he can perform.

If I wanted an OEM Can-Am key blank, what would the part number be? Do I have to order it from the dealer?

I have no idea what year model you have. The pre 2014 keys are different than the 2014, so they would be different part numbers. You might try a google search for "20XX Can-Am Spyder key" (replace the XX with the last two numbers of the year model.) If you find some, call your dealer and ask what they charge.

I don't have the info on the road with me, but the key model number is (JMA ZD23RT5) and I believe this was the webpage (http://www.lockpicks.com/aprilia-scotters-transponder-key-rw-zd23rt5-jma.html). There is a least one webpage that lists it cheaper, but that is without the chip.

The first batch I had cut by a locksmith at $10 a pop, and a local ACE hardware cloned them free. The second batch I had cut at a different ACE, but he said his machine wouldn't recognize it and the ACE that had cloned my first set had suddenly set a policy that they won't clone keys they don't supply. A local LOWES cloned them for me, I may have paid a buck or two for that. The LOWES would have cut them for me if I hadn't had them done already.

Locksmith tried

So, I get two keys from www.lockpicks.com (ZD23RT5 or item #KB-TP05ZA-9-P) for an excellent price. Went to David's Lock and Key in Columbia, TN.The "clone machine" read the only key I have immediately (was only given one key when I bought the bike, '12 RT-L from the dealer), and both blanks accepted the "clone". But, and however, the bike wouldn't start using either one of them. They tried several times with the same results. Totally bummed as I hate having only one key available. I just want to give a shout out to this locally owned shop, and also to see if anyone has an idea on the "why" the "clones" don't work. BTW, they cut the blanks at no charge. Great customer service. And P.S.; The Columbia Ace Hardware gave me a hard time when I told them what I needed. The guy I spoke with acted like it was a cardinal sin or something.:banghead:

Insert a cloned key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch on. Watch the display for about a minute. Watch for the message "BAD KEY". Let me know if you get that message or not.
