Default Security System/ No FOB's

Hello;

I bought a 09 Fat Bob through insurance auction and it didnt come with the Fob's to the security system.

My question is, will I have to buy them and get a dealer to mate them to the bike, or is there something I can do to just bypass the system so its not needed? I have no idea..

If you don't want security you can change out your security module for a regular turn signal module. You can buy the fobs and have the dealer marry them. No biggie

I believe if he changes to a regular turn signal module that will have to be married as well. What year is the bike? The older bikes with the push button security could be mated without digital tech (if memory serves me correctly). I'm getting old and have been at an Indy Shop and away from Digi Tech for awhile.

Oh crap, I re-read his post and see it's an 09. Guess it's getting hooked up to the Digi Tech.

He can marry the TSM to the bike himself following the instructions in the manual, the buttonless fobs have to be married by the dealer.
