First time I've seen this. He doesn't say which kind of key he bought at the hardware store. Critical information I would think.
He said it was a Ford truck key didn't he? Or that's what was mentioned in the original thread?
No wonder nobody can get it to work.
I call bullsh*t on the video, go to the original on youtube and he doesn't answer any viewer questions.

I posted on a couple facebook forums, and no one of thousands has ever DONE this, they just "know of someone who did it" or "know a guy whose cousin's mailman's brother's friend's sister's next door neighbor did it."
Looks like an urban legend, unfortunately
But that just dismisses the entire point of KiPass, which is to mesmerize, transfix, awe (or is that aw as in 'aw shucks, my bike won't start'?) and generally be a legend in its own time! Of course if you are going to look at this logically or realistically, what you say is accurate enough but what about the splendor? What about the rapture? How about the extreme emotions KiPass evokes? Surely you are not going to try and dismiss all of that, are you?
KiPass is the punch- line to a joke no one has even heard. KiPass is legend. KiPass is.... well, one must sit in the lotus position and repeat 'Uhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm' over and over again to really become one with KiPass.
If I could find the person(s) who put this thing on a C-14, I would bow down before him / her as that person(s) is truly divine. I have my moments of pretty good humor but never could I have come up with anything as fiendishly ingenious as KiPass.
UHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMM.....

My dealer could not figure out how to program the FOB (they were trying to use the active fob program) so they told me I needed the ID number for the fob and I would need to order another one. The place I ordered my fob online sent me another one for free and the dealer ordered me one too. They still could not figure it out so they let me do it myself and show them how to do it (for free). By the time we were done I had 3 new passive fob's programmed to the bike for $60 parts and labor. It took 3 trips to the dealer though.
We have an automotive locksmith we use at our repair shop. I took my FOB's to him, he said the active FOB would be a challenge to clone but he could clone the spare FOB easily. The cost would be $60 for the key and $20 for the labor, so I bought the Kawasaki passive FOB online instead.

Soooo.It is a great dealership! Everything they have tried to do for me they have f**ked up and I end up getting the repair for free.
You did the programming yourself and then showed them how to do it?
Who paid who?
I've had my bike for a bit over 1 month... yep already lost the active FOB.
I went to my friendly Locksmith and took them my passive fob and She made me a copy of my passive FOB
She used a JMA key from a 1999-2004 F150 TPX2FO-150D.P
she told me the blanks weren't cheap but she said she would do this for $40 +tax. She even trimmed the blade portion off of the key so it's now just a FOB.
I ask and she will do the same for you... to save on shipping I would include a Self Addressed envelope for the return mail w/insurance)
From my understanding, when you have a key cloned, it doesn't take up one of the limited memory spaces on the KiPass system. Message me if you have questions.
