![]() Maybe I'm being a bit whimsical, but, all the alarms that friends have had fitted eventually fail, for whatever reason. It wont start, and it will have flattened the battery!! ' then come on here crying that yer bike was nicked. ![]() Gear is good, gear is good, gear is very very good I have the board out of that one now on my bike with just one circuit doing the work.ġ32.9mph off and walked away. One of the immobiliser circuits was open-circuit. Kris's system 3 was also failed when I went to rescue him up town. Mine was a system 3 and they don't do spares or replacement boards, as advised during the call. Went through the symptoms and was advised by the tech that the only cure was to remove it. I was stuck at work with an armed alarm, filled in a 'contact us' form and got a call back 20mins later. Mine did exactly what the OP's is doing though. Incidentally the one on my Deauville is 12 years old and still fine. Keep in mind I am a Data Tool qualified fitter and will rip apart any argument you try and pout forward. Rip it out, throw as far as you can, job done.

The only 'issue' I have is remembering how to set it into the various different modes as I rarely do it (eg service mode, hazard warning mode). In my last house I always connected up to an Optimate battery charger but since March I have been in a rented house with limited access to power in the garage, so it sits for days or weeks on end with no charger, but still wakes up and starts OK. The alarm goes into a 'sleep' mode to prevent battery drain - if it has only been a few days then a long press of the round button will often wake it up but after a while this won't work so you have to set off the alarm (by turning on the ignition is easiest) and then disarm it as normal. ![]() And my bike has never been nicked, so a 100% correlation between alarm fitment and theft prevention (in a limited sample of 1).īack to the OP - this is normal behaviour, as stated. Nice to see some defence of Datatool for once - I usually stay out of the alarm/immobiliser witch hunts as I am actually very happy with my System3, which was installed around 11 years ago and has worked faultlessly all that time - both fobs still even have the OEM batteries in them. The shortest life I have seen from a system 3 was over 3 years, most laptops don't last that long and they aren't used in a hostile environment. The circuit boards in Data Tools are designed to be replaceable, they are considered a service item and last time I ordered one they were only about £90, the cost of two cheap services and yet when someone has a problem the first thing they do is rip them out. ![]() We consider oil and filters a throw away service item and yet no one ever looks at an alarm. Thing about alarms is they are operated in a hostile environment and no one ever services them. I have had two systems fitted and the only thing that fucked up was the way I operated them.ĭata Tools are pretty damn good as is there customer service. Datatool alarms are virtually bullet proof. ![]()
