You're not going to mention the secret incantation?
I'd like to bump this conversation for some clarification. I have washed my original fob one time too many, and now it is working then not working. It seems to drain the battery pretty quickly (like in 3hrs). I want to be clear about the credit card FOB, does it work the SAME as the original that came with my 08? Like I can just get on the bike and ride? I believe I saw a post where someone stated that you had to wave it around the ignition to get it to work.
Just would like some clarification,

If he did then it wouldn't be secret any longer now would it?sshhh....nobody reads the owners manual.

Thanks Conrad. Is it possible to program my 08 for both? I'm liking the idea of keeping my original fob in my jacket (instead of my pants pocket!), but would like to have the other type for maybe emergencies or that time when I don't wear the right jacket..... So I was thinking of purchasing BOTH!

The FOB which you currently say drains its' battery and works on again/off again could still work as a passive FOB forever. I'd try it -
Just at the stealer this morning....287.50 for a new fob!!! This is crazy! It looks like I will be using this one for a while! Why is it that I can find plenty of wrecked C14s for sale online, but never the fobs? Never mind...
Do you have just one fob? Just one? If so, and you lose that one you are going to be screwed! Buy one of the smaller passive only fobs for less than $40 online and get your bike programmed to recognize it right away. Perhaps you don't understand but if you lose the one working fob it is going to cost you well over $700 to get your bike working and there is no getting around it.As in...all fobs lost = new ecu. Get the cc fob and put it in your wallet, or let it ride in the tank glove box.

I'm not understanding the 'dead' part. So they don't work even with new batteries? If that's the case, I've never heard of them going 'dead'... Unless they've both gone through the wash and have not been able to be revived.. How can two fobs go 'dead'?

'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FOB!!
Or, how about "He's dead, Jim." That fob must have been a redshirt in spirit....
