Red key Myth
Just clearing up that eternal Kawasaki Myth. YOU CAN get black keys copied from another black key.

Re: Red key Myth
Got any pointers for anyone who is in the same unfortunate position?
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

Re: Red key Myth
cool, how do you go about it if you loose one of the black keys, dont you need the red key to change the keys over?
or are the codes in all your black keys the same, so to your ecu all you keys are the one???

Re: Red key Myth
Doing it the "correct" way you would have a set of available "slots" in the ecu for a fixed number of key codes (i think it's 12 or so). If you get another key added you utilise another "slot" within the ecu. Once you fill it up you have to clear out the old slots and start adding in keys again.
Doing it this way your merely recoding a new key to replicate the code in an existing key that you have and you don't have to worryt about availability of slots within the ecu..

Re: Red key Myth
correct.
your simply coding a blank to be mirror image of the original. All works fine
No tips. Just try and find a locksmith that has the expensive software that can code the duplicate

Re: Red key Myth
What I should say is that if needed I have contact details for a locksmith that can do this obviously.
