Is there any difference in functionality or battery life between the cc fob and the regular fob?? Or can you just use the cc as your "main" fob?
The CC fob is RFID only. It will only work if you put it against the key switch housing, in the right place and orientation. Same thing you can do with your current fob if the battery is dead.
It's more like a back up emergency fob, that costs much less, takes up less space, and can be hidden on the bike like a "hide-a-key" in days of old, or stashed away in a safe.
Since you must have a currently working fob (RFID or active RF), to add a new fob to the KIPASS ECU, the CC fob is a good back up option. Without one, your KIPASS is dead, and you must buy a new KIPASS ECU. Also, there are only 6 one time programmable 'slots' in the KIPASS ECU, so once you have used them all up, and lost those fobs, the KIPASS ECU is junk.
I'm sure Cap'n Bob will be along shortly to point out how horrible and unnecessary all this technology is.
