Take it to your local hardware store to have it cut and tell them it uses the GM transponder coding so they don't tell you they can't clone a motorcycle key.
Yorik, thanks for the link for the blanks, I ordered and received two. I went to my local Ace Hardware, but was told they “couldn’t” cut my blanks as it was against company policy to cut outside blanks. So I asked “can you get a blank for my Ducati then?” Of course the reply was “no”. So I have the blank you can’t even get and you guys can’t even cut it for me...sheesh. I left doing my best grumpy old man walk <img src="http://www.ducati.ms/forums/images/Ducati_ms_2015/smilies/tango_face_wink.png" border="0" alt="" title="Wink" class="inlineimg" />
My plan B then, I called a local locksmith and explained my deal. They were receptive at least. Hopefully next Saturday I will go to their shop and give it a go.
A question they had, essentially is, do we clone to a specific model or year of GM transponder code. Like pick a 2005 Chevy Impala for instance?
Next, let’s say they mess up the cloning, if I try the key, the bike’s system won’t go into lock down or some other witchcraft will it?
I’m leaving on a two week trip on the 15th and want to take a spare key with me, but don’t want to have a monkey wrench thrown in the mix. Thanks and best regards.
