Immobiliser Hell! - SV650.org

What a nightmare. Bike out for he first time in ages, went to petrol station, filled it up, came back and couldn't disarm the bloody thing!!

So i'm stuck at the petrol station and eventually had to push it 2 miles home!!

Does anyone have a quick fix for bypassing the alarm/immobiliser?

It's a Datatool 433 and the fob is lighting up, it just doesnt seem to be disraming the immobiliser. I have spoke to an auto electrician who said he would charge between £40-50 to rewire it and bypass it.

Ideally I would like to fix it myself. I looked the model up and believe they can sometimes be 'spiked'????

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!!

Have you got another fob? Try that first.

+1 for what Sid said...

mine did the same thing, got the other fob and that did the trick.

Datatool 433 aka Veto
Its fairly old now.

A low battery on the fob is always a weird one as the light still comes on.
You can also try resyncing the fob with the alarm, press both buttons at the same time for 5 seconds or so.
I dont think the Veto has a manual override, cant remember.

If the alarm is hosed, the final solution would be to extract the alarm from your bike. (I've had to do this before for the exact same reason, the immobilizer wouldn't disarm. No alarm is better than no bike!) Get your wire cutters out and start snipping. Shouldn't be too hard, just know what you're cutting and what you need to preserve.

Thanks for the help guys! I only have one fob for the bike so cant try that. I have also tried resyncing the alarm by holding down both buttons.

I would happily start snipping the wires but I would be terrified of doing alot more damage than I would do good!

Sounds simple but would ripping the actual alarm unit out work (guessing not as thieves would do it all the time???) or would the bike still be immobilised??

As said, better to have a bike than no alarm!!

Currently - still stuck!!!

Ta!

Get someone who knows what they are doing to remove the alarm and never fit one again to any bike you own... ever.

Alarms are a waste of time and cause more problems than they solve. No-one ever takes the blindest bit of notice of them anyway

Amen to that.Perhaps we could post a sticky on how to remove these satanic devices from our bikes so we could all get rid of them?

My view exactly! If someone wantsd your bike enough then it could easily be bundled in the back of a van regardless of your alarm system! Any quick fixes would be great as i'm planning on the auto electrician coming on tuesday!!

Thanks Stu
