Spare RFID keys for 2020 California 1400

[Skysailor]

I have noticed in searching on the Internet that there appears to be different keys (on Amazon) for the various late model Guzzis. I would like to purchase a set of blank keys to have as a backup to the the two that are coming with the 2020 California 1400 Touring that I am in process of procuring. Any advice would be greatly appreciated by this new member to the Guzzi family. Thanks

This post and thread describe the keys in detail. You need to understand a cloned key versus a unique key. There is a SIGNIFICANT difference that can make or break you in the wrong situation.

I don’t know where you have been reading but you’ve got it completely wrong.

I cannot count the number of times I’ve explained this but I will make a note to remember this for reference.

The dash is a very simple computer. It uses an antenna in the ignition switch to read a transponder chip which is encased in the key head.

Each key has a unique transponder code. This is different from the physical cut in the key.

CLONED KEYS are exactly that. Both the physical cut of the key AND the transponder...

Thank you MotoGuzziFan. I have studied that process and do understand it. My question has more to do what part number should I order/buy for a spare set for my 2020 California 1400 Touring. I have found a few listings on the Internet and on Amazon but it looks to me there may be different compatibility factors. So the bottom line is if a key set is said to be for a California does that apply to all the model years?

Looking at parts diagrams, the key is not listed separately. A locksmith shop may be able to correctly identify the key type. If not, you may need to contact the importer. If you do find out, pleas let everyone know the outcome.

I bought an extra key from a local locksmith. He was able to clone my one existing key. I don't have the user code so I am treading on thin ice.

Perfect! Thank you!!
Have ordered a set via Amazon using that part number. Also the dealer handling my upcoming purchase of a 2020 California 1400 Touring has verified two sets of working keys and reset the personal code for me so I should be in good shape.
