I've got a 357T on the curvy.

Not getting anything, no beeps, nothing. Anyone had this? What needs to be done?

Bike battery has been disconnected/reconnected, tried both fobs. It's stuck in immobiliser mode and I need to trade in on friday so would prefer not ripping it out.

which 357 is it i.e exact model? is the l.e.d still flashing? you may need to re code your fob i.e the alarm unit is not seeing your fob you can get a manuel from here http://abacuscaralarms.co.uk/alarms/other_files/user_manuals.html

I have a meta alarm on the KTM, it's a different model, something like "Defcom3" i think but you can disable the immobiliser without any of the alarm keyfobs by entering the disarm code via the ignition

eg: If the code is 26739 you need to:

Switch the ignition on
Wait until the alarm LED flashes two times
Switch the ignition off

Switch the ignition on
Wait until the alarm LED flashes six times
Switch the ignition off

Repeat for all the digits of the code and the immobiliser will disarm

Not sure if it's applicable to other models of Meta alarms

Has your bike been stood for ages without the ignition being turned on ?

I've got a 357T on my GSXR.

If so the alarm has gone into sleep mode. To get it out of sleep mode turn the ignition on, the alarm will then chuck a mental but then it will respond to commands from the keyfob again.

Thanks for the advice, all good now.

It had gone into sleep mode, as it's been stood for a bit. But the normal wakeup routine didn't work.

LED was on constantly (not flashing) which isn't in the online instruction manual.

The cause - The battery needed sticking on the optimiser, although going off the battery condition display there was still enough juice to fire the bike up. Did the normal routine today and the alarm disarmed. Panic over.
