aahhh, the solution then is to get the dealer to read the manual. Isn't that what the labor charges cover? Reading the book then doing the work? Good luck with your dealer.

- never !!!

Maybe there's a Cliffs notes version?

I was wondering the same thing but decided not to ask, thinking maybe his mind was just floating around...

It will be nice if there were an English version. Hmm, it has been two more model years since... maybe they have corrected it. I should check it out.

I'm sure that's the case. Be gentle with it should it float past you at some point, just nudge it back in Jim's general direction, he may need it at some point...

This is the wrong thread for questions...

But to answer, bill the dealer for the video training.

Maybe I should bill them for the personalized training.

Funny thing is, when the dealer told me he didn't know how to program the small fob, I asked him if it was the first time in 5 years that a customer bought a spare key for the C14 and his answer was:

"No, but usually people buy the large $200 fob..."

This leads me to believe that when they program a large fob, they do not do the procedure to program the emergency transponder that is integrated to the large fob.

Thank God for this forum and special thanks to all you guys. You've all been very helpful!!

I'll bet that you are right!

Yeah and you end up with a big fob that won't work with a dead battery.

Exactly. I bet that is exactly what they and probably many other dealerships do.

SylvainBeauvais · « **Reply #35 on:** April 26, 2013, 09:27:50 AM »

I can't believe this!

The service advisor at my dealer told me he asked Kawasaki Canada how to program a spare fob. The answer he was given by Kawasaki still baffles me:

"You cannot program those small fobs. We've been on the phone for a few hours with another dealer, trying to figure it out and it never worked."

Anyway, I showed the video to the service advisor and I can only hope that his technician will be able to follow the simple instructions...

drive to Nadon Sport in the St Eustache area, they ll be able to program it

Did you show them the document from this post of mine?

http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=1560.msg16308#msg16308

This refers to the large fobs but the programming of the large fob's RFID section is the same for the slimline fobs.

SylvainBeauvais · « **Reply #38 on:** April 29, 2013, 08:11:34 AM »

This is getting ridiculous. They followed the instructions I provided (Kawasaki KDS 3.0 booklet and the Youtube video) and they were able to program the slim line fobs.

...they just forgot to reprogram the emergency transponder in the large fob while programming the slim line fobs. I will get them to reprogram all three upon my next oil change.

Anyway, they were very thankful for the instructions and I hope the next Concours owner who buys a spare fob from them will not have to go through what I had to go through.

Even though their technical abilities when it comes to KIPASS are somewhat non-existant, their customer service is above par and they have done the programming for free.
