Default Second wireless fob install help
I bought an 08 nightster used and it had only 1 key and 1 buttonless fob. No manual either. Ya, I know that sucks.

I finally broke down and got the service manual and a pair of keys and a new fob from the dealer. The service manual doesn't cover this, or I'm blind.

I did get the alarm override code. 12345!! What a stupid combination, that's the combination an idiot would have on his luggage! I've already changed that.

I've searched and I found out how to link a buttoned fob but not a buttonless one.

Does anybody have any easy answers other than have the stealer do it?

Thanks in advance

Rat

That's what I was afraid of.
