Default Key fob Question

if you change the battery in the key fob do you have to re-program the security system or anything like that or do you just change the battery and you are good to go?

Just put a new battery in and you're good to go.
I changed mine out last week with no ill effects.

No programming needed.
Just replace the battery and your good.

Note: Be sure and install the new battery correctly, as it does matter which way it goes in.

Just like a garage door opener. It saves all the right frequencies, even when the battery is gone.

Thanks!...My fob still works fine but I am headed to Sturgis tomorrow and don't want any surprises. I just bought a new battery and put it in my saddlebag.
