What a crock. So "independent repairers", presumably, wouldn't be able to program keys or tire pressure sensors, possibly the two most sought-out functions?
I can actually access the kipass features with kds. I can register a new active key, fob, TPS settings, register an FI to the bike.. register new steering lock mechanism and view kipass diag info but cannot view FI information. I had a feeling I needed to get the kvcs setup but was hoping not much changed. What's strange is the FI appears to be the same model# as 2016 bikes for replacement.
At this point I'll probably just sell the kds setup because I mostly wanted to view FI info. For kipass stuff I'll probably just clone some tpx chips as a passive backup.
