Programming a Harley-Davidson spare key with the CB305 cable and the FOB Serial Number

Moto Interface Classic Keys / Immo Medium ⏱ 30-60 min 8 steps

Procedure for programming an additional key on Harley-Davidson bikes through the bike's diagnostic connector. Older models with the 4-pin connector may require the SAE J1850 protocol and therefore the Abrites J1850 adapter.

Required licences

Hardware / cables

  • AVDI
  • CB305
  • adattatore J1850 Abrites
⚠ WarningIn an all keys lost situation you need to know the 5-digit PIN to disarm the alarm before a key can be programmed. The default PIN to try is 1-2-3-4-5.

Procedure

  1. Connect the Abrites CB305 cable to the AVDI; for older models with the 4-pin connector add the Abrites J1850 adapter (communication over SAE J1850 protocols).
  2. Connect the CB305 to the bike's diagnostic connector: Harley-Davidsons use either a 4-pin connector (older models) or a 6-pin one.
  3. Open Abrites Diagnostics for Bikes, Snowmobiles and Water Scooters and open the "Key learning" menu.
  4. Select "Harley-Davidson" from the list.
  5. Select the free key position and press "Next".
  6. Enter the key's FOB Serial Number: it is the serial number supplied with the Harley-Davidson key.
  7. If you are in an all keys lost situation, enter the 5-digit PIN to disarm the alarm; if you do not know it, try the default PIN 1-2-3-4-5.
  8. Complete the procedure following the on-screen prompts and check the bike starts with the new key.
