Actually, Bluetooth technology (short range radio frequency) could be considered by many as alternative terminology for the HD key fob (also short range radio frequency). Most of us old guys called them wireless remote transmitters before they were commonly known as fobs.
Key fob remotes (such as the ones used on the earlier Harley TSSM/fobs), using Qolsys and Interlogix/GE use 319.5 MHz, Honeywell and 2GIG use 345 MHz, and DSC uses 433 MHz. These frequencies are much different than those used for BT.
The technology used in this system is definitely NOT BT (wireless, yes, but BT, no).

Ok - I was at it for 2 1/2 hours. Is it just me or is trying to program this security a real PITA.... I have not figured it out yet. I get through and into the ready-to-program mode and then it goes to crap. I get flashes and I thought I had the previous code but I cannot seem to get a new code entered. I have read &read and re-read the instructions and it just does not seem that I am understanding it right or they are not explaining it clear enough.....Or I have the Mad Cow disease....Geeeeez.

I haven't tried this, but it looks right. https://www.lawabidingbiker.com/harleyalarm/
Use the pre 2014, push button fob directions.
Don't think too much about it. Just follow the directions exactly. It seems like an awkward way to do it, but it works.

Thanks - I'll check it out. I just cannot seem to figure it out. -what am I missing.
I wish there was no code previously entered because I think it would be a heck of a lot easier. But there is and I have to deal with it. The tech writer that wrote that procedure was frick'in horrible!

Even though I reprogrammed my code, I made a discovery in the process. It's a whole lot easier for me to carry a couple of extra batteries on the bike and always have my FOB, than to remember the manual code proceedure.
PLus it is so hard to remember 8675309.

You can give this a try.
To reset the code with a TSSM equipped bike (with button fob), you will:
1) Set your kill switch to off
2) Quickly turn the ignition switch on, off, on, off, on
3) Immediately press and let go of the left turn signal switch twice (press, let go, press, let go)
4) Press and let go of your fob button twice (press fairly hard, it's designed to resist being pressed by keys and whatnot in your pocket)
5) Current PIN number will be displayed on odometer
6) Change the PIN by pressing the left signal until the desired number is reached
7) Press the fob button twice to cycle to the next number and repeat step 7
8) Press and let go the right signal and turn ignition off when 5 digit PIN is satisfactory
NOTE: Steps 2 through 4 must be completed in quick succession of each other.

The proximity fob has been used from the 2007 model year and newer. 2006 and older bikes are manually armed. A lot of comments are from guys that have never used a manual key fob.

The '06 bikes (Touring) had the active security module #68922-00D. It has a FOB with a button and the security system must be turned on and turned off manually....
The '07 touring bikes got the passive security module #68924-07. It looks like the older unit, but has an antenna. It has a FOB without a button, and it is turned on/off by the proximity of the fob as detected via that antenna..
If you FOB has a button, you have the active security module, called the TSSM. If your FOB does not have the button, you have the passive security module, sometimes called the HFSS.
The procedure you referenced is for the FOB with the button...

That is not the procedure for my 2002 with the TSSM system and FOB with a button. The first part starts the same but getting the previous PIN is completely different. I wish it was that easy. I burned out trying yesterday. My feet got cold so the SOB is just going to sit there until I get the feeling of digging in again. What a PITA....
