Smile Program new FOB

I need the info on how to program a new Fob. Owners manual says to be done by Harley Tech. Surely someone knows the steps to program the new Fob. I have one that works the security but needed another. I only got one when i bought the bike used. Any help appreciated.

This must be done when you buy a new button type key fob for the alarm if you loose one.

I assume you know your personal entry code using the directional switches and the key switch to activate , if not , it's in the owners manual.

If you never set the code,the dealer can help you out here.

1. Set run switch to off
2. ign to acc
3. hold both turn sigs till lights flash
4. use left turn signal to enter number by pushing 7 times
5. use right turn signal as enter key
6. repeat until all 5 are entered and you hit enter

lights should flash and you should be OK.


KEY FOB ASSIGNMENT

The key fob on TSSM motorcycles must be set so it will operate the alarm system on the vehicle.
This assignment must be completed with no pauses between steps greater than 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition OFF after all key fobs have been assigned.
The programming mode will also exit after 60 seconds has elapsed without detecting any fob signup messages
or turn signal switch activity.
Two key fobs may be assigned to the TSSM.
The first successful attempt to program a fob will disable all previously assigned fobs.
If a second fob is to be programmed, it must be done in the same programming sequence as the initial fob.

I have re-programed the remote that came with the bike with my own numbers as instructed in the Owners manual. The problem is the new remote . NO instructions in the owners manual on programming a second remote when one is lost, misplaced . Don't know what your instructions are for . Are they for an additional remote or an existing PROGRAMMED remote? Too many questions for this old guy. Looks like i will have to stop by the stealers.

Thanks a bunch
Ride safe.

If it is a newer fob (non push button) then the only way to program it is by the dealer. They have to use the digitech and it takes about 15 min. If they charge they should only charge the hourly prorated charge

It is the new non push. I was thinking something like that might be involved.

Thanks man.
Ride safe.
