Lost Dumb-Key functionality after replacing key fob shells

So you did move the little transponder chip in the lower part of the case Little tiny black trapezoidal shape thing You got that in your new case because that's the thing that makes what you're talking about work not the green board with the battery that does all the stuff you have now but that little trapezoidal shaped transponder chip is what I have on my motorcycle built in my key and it only works when inserted It does nothing when I'm near the bike it's in my pocket stuck wherever until I insert it into the key slot and it gets close to the antenna than the red light stops flashing on the bike and everything comes to life My bike doesn't have a remote with buttons because there's no doors and what have you to unlock obviously so it sounds like to me you've just left out the transponder chip Do you have the old cases can you verify when I swapped out my cases and move the chip over SKS worked and regular transponder inserted worked I think at one point in another car in '05 I didn't move the transponder chip over and I think I had the same thing you had going on but then I took that car off the road so I never got to really mess with the transponder chip and open up the key to see what I had done or any of that because the car was no longer being used and it was being parted out but that's the only thing I can think of that would make good sense here.

 

There are two separate systems in use. You've taken care of the active radio system for remote unlocking.

You forgot (or were unaware of the need) to move the passive RFID capsules from your old shells into your new shells.

This post shows.

 

I am awaiting this answer too
