Looking at your alarm pin over ride instructions, you have step 11 and step 12 with each step pressing the right turn signal switch. In my 2007, after you enter the "e" digit, you only need to press the right turn signal one time. I'll try pressing the right turn signal twice after the "e" digit on my model and see if it still works. If that's the case, you may not need year specific instructions. Thanks again.
Okay just tested the PIN Override procedures in the app on my 2007 FLHT. After step 11 is completed, the alarm is turned off and the bike can be started. While completing step 12 doesn't hurt anything, all it does is turn on the right turn signal in normal fashion. Do the newer bikes require that the right turn signal be pressed twice after the last digit is entered? Can someone with an 2009 or later bike check the app procedures and see if step 12 is needed on the newer bikes?

I just tested it on my '09 Road King, and yes, the 12th step is required. If I don't hit the turn signal a second time, the alarm starts going off.
I also checked the PIN reset procedure to make sure it is correct. Haven't tried transport mode yet.

That's good to know. So the instructions work for both 2007 and 2009 bikes without modification (you just get a little extra light show on the older bikes.) ;>)
This little app saved my stupid butt yesterday. I started the bike in my garage with the key fob nearby and rode off, forgetting to take the keys. Of course, I didn't realize I had forgotten the keys until I pulled into a store about 10 miles away and then went to restart the bike. Doh!
Pulled out my phone, started the app and read how to override the alarm. Was able to restart the bike and rode back home to get my keys. Thanks again!

This is just what inspired me to write the app, I did the exact same thing. It is gratifying to know that it was useful.
Somewhere down the road, a modification to the app that would allow you to enter and save your override pin number and then have the proper digits appear in the starting procedure might be cool. Not critical, but a nice enhancement.
Another addition might be a helmet law by state summary similar to the one in the annual HOG map book (Only you select a specific state and it shows the law for that state).

Dennis that is an outstanding idea! Genuinely useful information, and it is easy to code in new text. After reading your suggestion, I checked the app market to see if there were any products that do this already, and it looks like there is only one.
I am going to put it in the next update.
I still don't like the idea of storing my PIN on the phone. It would have to be in an encrypted app like IzzoQ suggested.
