FZBear10, if you haven't got a second fob yet make it a priority.

Aren't they expensive? I only received one when I bought my bike.

If you lose your only fob, large active or small passive, you will be buying a new ecu plus fobs plus programming at a dealer.
In the neighborhood of a $1000. Get another fob.

Paid $251.89 for a Fob then $63.00 to have it programmed and it didn't even come with a key. They wanted more for the extra key. (But that is up here in Calgary)

[FZBear10]

I bought a new passive FOB but when I took it to the dealer to get it programmed they told me they lost the cable to hook up the bike to program it. I am trying to find another local Kawi dealer to bring it to.
One FOB strokes me out

[mikeb2411]

So, forgive me for being ignorant here but, I have the main FOB and I have an additional "key" that the guy gave me when I bought the bike. Is that additional "key" the passive FOB or should I have 2 FOB's...the one I am using and an adiitional FOB just like it? I'm confused

From what I found out each C14 comes from the factory with 2 FOBs. 1 active FOB which you can start the bike within 5 feet of proximity and the passive FOB which you have to hold directly to the ignition casing on the front side for the bike to start. Some year models came with 2 active FOB's, not sure which ones though. The active FOB has a key in it to open the gas cap, saddlebags, and remove the seat.
I also only got one FOB when I bought my bike and I was told it was the passive FOB but that was incorrect information. It is actually the active FOB.
I bought a spare passive FOB which I am trying to get programmed to at least have 1 spare because I am certainly not cool with spending about a $1000 for a new ECU, new FOBs to program, and labor to do it.

search the word    fob   there's no end to the reading.

This is the picture that changed my life!
Passive FOB on the left and Active FOB on the right.

Thanks FZBear, that's what I needed to see...I HAVE THE 2nd FOB  !!!

Now you just need to get a the passive FOB and get it programmed so you have a spare.
I bought the passive FOB but I am having trouble finding a dealer to do it.
It seems that it may be easier to split the atom.

It was the FOB that was given to him when he bought the bike from the dealer so it should be programmed...yes?

Yes, but if that one FOB that you have is lost or damaged, the dealer will not be able to program a new one without you buying a new ECU along with new FOBs to program.
That event will be in the neighborhood of $1000 w/ parts and labor which is why I am desperately trying to get my spare passive FOB programmed. When I finally get it handled, the spare FOB will go in the same locked safe where my vehicle titles are.
Having 1 FOB and losing it is catastrophic.

That's what I did...placed the passive FOB in my safe.

I thought you only had the one FOB.
If you have both you are golden

LOL...now I'm completely confused...sorry! I have what you showed in the pic you posted. I don't have a 2nd "primary" FOB, just the primary and the smaller "back-up" FOB that was given with the original purchase of the bike.

So, what I'm reading from you and the others is that you are trying to program a 2nd FOB that would replace your "primary" FOB that you currently carry when you ride...you're looking for replacement for that. Is that correct?

If you have both active and passive FOBs as in the picture, you are fine. If you lose one of either of those you can still start your bike with the remaining one.
I only got one FOB with my bike, period.
It happens to be the active FOB but if I lose that one FOB, I am royaly screwed. I bought the passive FOB to have a spare like you have in your safe but I am having trouble getting it programmed for my bike.

[gPink]

The active fob also has the passive chip which can be separated from the fob in effect giving you two separate ways to start the bike til you get a second fob. I think it was member jwh20 who posted this with pics.

It actually looks like you were the one that posted the pic, thank you by the way.
That was the picture that fully made me understand what FOB I had and that the battery was put in wrong by original owner. Now I can start the bike without holding the FOB up to the ignition.
That really sucked by the way because I thought that was normal for about 2 months.
