Has anyone any experience of having a "new" fob "coded" to the bike ?

 ( I think that's the correct terminology anyways )

I do believe it's an HD dealer job anyways , but would be glad to hear of folks experiences and costs either way

From what I gather the bike has to be at the dealers to have the new fob " matched/coded " to the ECM

The bike in question only has one fob , can the new fob be coded from the old ?

Or is there another way ?

Owner's manual states that the dealer must code a new fob to the bike, and only two fobs can be coded to a bike.  Cannot imagine it being much of a job or taking hardly any time.  But of course that does not mean it won't cost you . . . after all it is a Harley!

Dealer must do it...I had to have one done right after getting the '11.  I ran over one of the Fobs (don't ask).  If memory serves me, and that is always suspect, it cost about $30 or so to have them do it and only took 15 minutes or so.

Ran over a Fob! Rut Roe!

That's one reason I propose the guts of the security fob be miniaturized and implanted in the drivers/riders body.  Never have to worry about forgetting your fob, or leaving it somewhere, or like in this case dropping it and running over it.  To carry this idea to it's obvious conclusion, I'm suggesting that everyone have their own unique security code emitter implanted at birth and then all devices requiring security measures can just be "married" to their unique code.  No more keys, no more passwords to memorize, etc.

Thanks for quick replies folks !

Yes I kinda suspected / knew that it was a "back to the dealer job".

That's the next drama, as the bike didn't come from them !

Indeed it's a used 2008 CVO Springer out of Texas that has wound up in Perth Australia with one key and one fob

Fairly clean bike in  "Black Diamond with smoked candy Flames" showing 10,000 kilometres

The owners handbooks / CVO cover / original exhaust system / all "lost on the way" somewheres ( bummer bummer !!)

The dealers in Western Australia WILL NOT code you a new alarm fob as it's a "grey" imported bike

Any more ideas very welcome !
