Work in progress :

I'm currently working on a method to make this DIY accessible to anyone. Stay tuned.

Overview

This 3D model allows you to create a functional backup D.E.S.S. key for your Can-Am, Sea-Doo, or Ski-Doo at home. It is a more affordable alternative to dealer programming or 3rd-party services. By following this method, you can keep your original key safely at home and avoid sharing your key's data with anyone else.

How it works: The BRP D.E.S.S. system (2015-2026) uses two components to start the engine:

1. A Magnet: This activates the machine and keeps it running.
2. An RFID Chip: This contains the security code. The machine only needs to "read" this code once when you press the start button to start it.

The 2-Part Design

This model is designed in two separate pieces for maximum flexibility:

• Part 1 (The Receiver Clip): Stays clipped onto the machine’s post to keep the magnets in place tus the machine running.
• Part 2 (The Key Case): Contains the chip. You only need to tap this against the post to start the engine, then you can put it safely in your pocket while you ride.
• Optional: If you prefer a traditional feel, you can glue both parts together to mirror the OEM "all-in-one" key.

Materials Needed

• Magnets: Two 3mm x 10mm neodymium magnets (or just one if you plan to glue the parts together).
• The Chip: A compatible chip
• The tools + ship : @TODO Link coming soon . . .

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Identify & Write to your Chip

• please read this post for a how to guide : [https://www.can-amforum.com/posts/1342941/](https://www.can-amforum.com/posts/1342941/)

2. Printing the Case

• Use the provided print profile.
• The profile includes a Pause Command. When the printer stops, insert your programmed RFID chip into the slot and resume the print to seal it inside.

3. Assembly

• Insert the magnets into both parts make sure they are in the proper orientation so they can stick together.
• If you want a one-piece key, glue both parts, this this case you only insert 1 magnet to the clip-on part.
• If you want the "Pocket Key" style, keep them separate. Simply clip the clip-on part to the machine, tap your pocket key to start it, and enjoy your ride.

Compatibility

This system works for all BRP machines using the RF D.E.S.S. ball-and-socket system from 2015 to 2026, including:

• Can-Am: Outlander, Renegade, Maverick X3/R, Defender, Commander.
• Sea-Doo: All models (Spark, GTI, GTX, etc.).
• Ski-Doo: REV Gen4 and Gen5 platforms (Summit, MXZ, Renegade, etc.).
