To the group.
I fix up insurance salvage bikes as a hobby. I currently have 3 Ducatis. The latest one is a 2014 Ducati 1200 Monster. The original dash was destroyed and was missing when I got the bike. I bought a used dash with matching key from a salvage yard. Everything works but the bike will not start and the dash has a warning sign "! unknown DEVICE".
I took the bike to the local Ducati dealer who said they could reprogram it to run but they couldn't but still charged me for labor. And they told me to call SOS Diagnostics. Who said they have not hacked that ECU(Siemens) yet so the only thing they could tell, if I sent them the parts, was if the key I had matched the dash. I called Rexxer who told me the local dealer should be able to reprogram my bike but Rexxer and my local dealer don't get along and will not talk to each other. So the bike sits and will not start. I don't have the $1100.00 right now to buy a virgin dash. So does anybody know of anyone here in the USA that can reprogram my parts(ECU, Dash and keys) I don't care if the immoblizer still works.
Thanks in advance for any help.

First of all, http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?www;board=14 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?www;board=14)
Dealer should have been able to program dash-key to BBS/ECU with the DDS2.0 . . . Takes about 20 mins max . . .
On this newer generation Ducati Monster, Diavel, MTS, Diavel, HM/HS, the BBS is the ECM in charge of the DASH and body functions, such as, KEY . .
They must first "marry the ECU to BBS" and then try to program the key . . . How I know, I have done it, but, I am about 3000mls away and NO longer have access to DDS2.0
Another option, is to get the bike out, haggle the price and take it to Redline for re-programming
