So question for you guys. Do you always carry your fob with you on your keyring...meaning when your not riding? Or do you leave that one at home? Since I read that the fob looks for the signal wondering if the battery dies faster or not?
 
So still can the forum members get a discount from the website, looks like they are going for $399. Be nice to find one used or at a discount. They also have the security one that I almost pulled the trigger on but hat is just for the security system, arm disarm, that don't do much good LOL those are $169

As of right now, they are still honoring the Group Buy Price(s) from last year.

Email to keylessmod(at)V-Rod(dot)net for the pricing and paypal info if you're interested.

I just installed mine and love it!
 
Let there be no doubt, battery life will suffer. Get in the habit of plugging your bike into the battery tender every time, and you'll be rewarded with much longer battery life overall.
I think they were talking about the battery in the FOB. I put two extra batteries and a small phillips in my bag just to have in case of an emergency. A battery tender is a good idea DGD or not, if your bike is not ridden regularly.

I agree, however, the DGD-KIM does draw some power when it's sitting. If you are NOT riding it, you MUST have the bike on a Tender.
 
Not sure if I like the thoughts of this mod. I believe the site says 30 seconds for it to arm, so untill you get use to it you have to walk away and waite for it to turn off? then every time you get close to your bike the lights come on so someone can just jump on and ride away?? Might be one of those "cool extra" things to have but its not at the top of my list till I learn more about it

That's not how it works. There isn't any arming involved.

When it's turned off (RUN/STOP switch set to STOP) it stays off unless the switch is set back to RUN. However, if the fob is not within range when the switch is set back to RUN nothing happens.

So if no one messes with the switch while you (and the fob) are away, when you return with the fob and set the switch to RUN, the ignition and lights turns on. If someone messes with the switch and sets it to RUN while you're away, when you return the ignition will activate and the lights will turn on and you'll know that someone messed with your bike.

Another thing; once it's turned on the fob can go out of range and the system will stay on. This is to prevent inadvertent shut down while the bike is moving. Therefore, you need to turn off the switch and walk away (out of range). This is all that's required to "arm" it.

I keep the fob on a separate key ring that I clip to my belt loop when riding. That way I just have to hit the start button and go.

You still have to flip the "Run/Stop" Switch.....right? ;)

I can see it working good in Conjunction with a alarm system. If you want your bike "locked" either way you still need the key to lock it or the Fob to unlock it. Lock the bike and lose the Key or Fob your screwed either way. Advantage... you actually need the Fob to start it so you can't run out the door and forget your key. I never done that. Sarcasm :spank:
 
The 30 second "arm time" is the delay from when you turn the bike off to when it locks out power and starts searching for the RFID "handshake" to allow it to turn on again.
