    Gen 2 2021 XR replacement key fob……
    After buying a replacement fob and with the assurance of the BMW mechanic (bike not with me at the time) which told me there’s no programming required, plug and play kinda thing…… well, guess what ? Didn’t work…. !
    Can anyone explain how to get the fob to work with the bike ??????
    Thank you in advance 😊

    The dealer has to pair it to the bike. Both need to be present to do that.

    When you order from the dealer, you give them the VIN #, that's how they pair it with the bike. I don't think they need the bike to do it. They send me the spare without my bike being there. I just had to give them the VIN # and insurance card, so they can see that the bike is actually mine. Go back tot he dealer and see if they can pair it, they should technically have a tool to pair it.
