I am finally very, very, happy to report that I now possess 2 fully functioning FOBs!!!
Del Amo Motorsports in Redondo Beach Ca. was able to successfully program my spare passive FOB.
They took a total of 40 minutes start to finish with zero snags. They charged me $62.50 labor and I was happy to pay it.
If anyone on the forum is local and they need work done on their C14, I highly recommend them. They are very familiar with our bikes.
