Locksmith for 25 years

A while back I ordered a clonable transponder key from a vendor on the internet. The key number is ZD23RT5. It cost me $15.00 plus shipping and it looks like this.
View attachment 73019
Today I finally got around to visiting the locksmith. The transponder chip cloning took less than 30 seconds and another minute or two on the key cutting machine. I got two house keys cut at the same time and he charged me $10.00.
The new key works exactly like the original key. It starts and the Spyder does not act any differently.

This may be an option for some other folks.
It is a little cheaper then a Can-am key, but not a lot.
Avoids the hassle of getting a new key programed at the dealer.
It has a hole in the head for a key ring if you wish.

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:

Is that for a transponder key with the chip, or just an empty case?

It looks like it has the chip and it is half the price I paid. It is also a different brand than the one I got. Looks like some guinea pigs have already ordered them and I hope they let us know how it works out.

Looks like around $2,100 for a cloner... line up about 300 Spyder Lovers and you can make a little extra scratch...

Check Your Local Locksmith Before YOu order

I was quick to order two keys and now find it may not be so simple to clone them. One locksmith said he can do cars but doesn't have the software to do cycles as they are different and it wasn't cost effective to buy the software.

The web site of one smith in Greensboro lists the cloning but charges $75.

I had one done once by the dealer and the cloning charge was about $37 as best as I can remember. Still had to get it cut by a smith first.

Figured I"d go ahead and have one cut and use it for locking/unlocking trunk & frunk.

Ok..ok.. Who's making the key run to Canada? To the place where they can be programmed n cut?:roflblack:

Key cloned

Purchased a key from Lockpicks. Arrived in 3 days. In the mean time I called several local locksmiths (mostly large businesses) about cloning the key. Got a lot of verbal dancing about software, programming, very specialized, difficult but we can try with no guarantees ($40 minimum charge) etc. I gave up trying to find someone to clone the key and went to my local Ace hardware down the road to have the key cut. While cutting the key I told the owner about my quest in finding a locksmith who could clone the key. He got a rag out of his back pocket and cleared his work table uncovering a bunch of business cards taped to his work table. Pointed to small locksmith a couple to towns from me (10 miles). Called them up, rode down and had the key cloned for $20. :clap:The cloning process took about 45 seconds. They were a little hole in the wall shop, go figure.

I did not realize it would be such a problem getting the key cloned. Two years ago I went to my locksmith and asked if he could copy it. He dropped my key into the machine and said Texas Instrument chip sure no problem. The problem came when he tried to order the blank from his supplier. They did not stock it and would not order it. That's why I thought getting the blank was the problem, not the actual cloning.

Just ordered a couple from lock picks. Anyone know of a transponder transfer place in Charlotte area!?

As I mentioned above, a dealer can do it, and a year ago it cost about $37. As best as I can remember an OEM key blank was $37 and $10 for locksmith to cut it, then back to dealer for cloning. Quite an ordeal they way they have to do it.

However, if you find a locksmith in the Charlotte area that does it at a more reasonable cost, please post it here.

Cloned in Lexington NC

Stopped by local hardware store in Lexington NC today to get some spare keys made for my sheds ($2 ea) and the gent there cut my new spare and said "we clone cars, lets see if it will read yours" and proceeded to stick my OEM key in a little box and said "yep it read it, lets see if it transfers the data" and stuck the new key in and said "yep it did". Took about 10 sec. While he was cutting shed keys I went out to check and it worked as it should.

My concern about getting it done and what seemed a big deal turned out to be nothing.

Asked him how much for cutting and cloning and he said "nothing"! Told him I was gonna put this on the forum and others might come in. He grinned and said "tell them $5".

:2thumbs: for Lanier's Hardware as we locals know it but its now called True Value.

Broke Key

Back in Sept The wifeand I went to Cave Spring Bike Rally well to make a long story short I broke the only key I had with us so her uncle had to ride me back to the house 60 miles one way to get the spare key on his Harley Tri-Glide. So the following Monday I ordered two Can-Am keys Wednesday they came in so I went and picked up the keys was told I would have to have them cut to the spare key went and did that came back to to the bike shop to get the keys coded and was then informed that they would have to have the bike there at the shop to code all three keys. (for the life of me why in the H--- they didn't tell me that when I ordered the key) so I drove home got the bike went back to the shop the tech came out stuck one key in at a time and reprogramed them sitting on the Spyder after all was said and done $123.00: $49.00 EA for the keys from spyder dealier ( $34.95 on Package from Can-Am) $25.00 to program. I now have one on the Spyder my wife carries one and I have one there is no problems having extra keys around the bike when it is running.

And if you have ever wondered what the inside of a Can-am key looks like here some pics of my broke key after I cut it open.
