I don't know why Harley couldn't have used the same type system that my Chrysler has: The key itself has the chip in it and when you stick that in the ignition the system reads the code from the key and disables the theft prevention measures so the car will start.

From what I understand, if the system doesn't get "the signal" from the fob, the bike won't start even with the key unless you punch in the code using the turn signal buttons.

thanks Gary.
geezus...i better learn how to do this before i get stuck.
this turn signal code b.s. seems like a freak'n hassle.
i can see it now. stuck somewhere, whipping out the dam card, tying to read the instructions w/o my frigging (reading) glasses.

If you want to see what happens when chipped key immobilizer goes bad, search the BMW bike boards for "EWS failure". Beemers don't have a manual override so you're SOL if you get one of these failures.

Keep your fob with you and you'll never have to worry about manually entering the PIN.

my Bike is an 06' superglide with a manual alarm that didn't come with a siren. My wifes bike is an 07' superglide with a auto alarm and it came with a siren. I like the siren so i added it to mine but i can't stand the way you have to have the damn keys to move her bike around the garage it's annoying.
I keep my registration, insurance card and the alarm override proceedure card in a ziploc bag taped to the inside of the fuse panel cover on both bikes and i changed the pin inside the alarm to something i will remember and didn't write it on the card.

I like mine. I installed the siren. The only time I have a problem with it is when I go to work on my bike in the garage, and forget to take my fob with me. It sure riles up the dogs!

....my stealership failed to jot down the assigned PIN (in the owners manual)
while (re)reading the security portion of the manual,....section that states "how to assign a PIN to (your) fob", it mentions early in the procedure the assigned PIN shows just before you make the change. i need this number, so is it ok to initiate the change to write down the assigned PIN...then cancel the procedure? (or will i need to go forth with the new pin assignment?)
thanks & merry x-mas guys.
