New to me build with TC. Using 07/16 ECM. Learning about items unique to this electrical system Question is do I need a FOB attached to this system to make it work? Complete frame up build with no base bike to start from. Having fun learning! Thanks in advance for any insights. Mike

Security is tied to the BCM on the bike, which can be with or without the security option. It's a mostly flat, black plastic part, with a large wiring connector, and a round, single wire connector, about 3x5" in size. Label on BCM should indicate security or not.

Purchased a TSM that is not connected with security. Should allow to run without a FOB. Thanks for your help.
