Datatool

I’m sorted for a while. After couple conversations with Steve from Datatool and our Charlie I managed to bypass datatool and my bike is starting again. However I need to replace circuit board and 2 remote controllers. It’s gonna cost me 160 pounds. :frowning:

At the end of the day my bike is alive again. :slight_smile:

Ouch, that sucks!! So what happened to it then? Did something short out?

Sorry I couldn’t help you, I don’t know anything about Datatool alarms.

Datatool , knackered theres a shock, :D:D

It was a faulty receiver on PCB. I’ve bought a new one from Aye Motorcycles at Welling. It costs me 165 pounds :crazy: I fitted it back by myself to save cost. :cool:

Replacement in working fine. We will see how long until it broke again. :stuck_out_tongue:

This time I know how to bypass datatool and start my bike without any trouble. Hmm, maybe the only trouble I can get is the insurance.
Anyway I’ve set a pin override as well to protect me when keyfob will fail, I lost it or anythig like that. :hehe:

Hi

I had the same problem about a month ago and got a whole new alarm kit from ebay.
I called to ask him something and he took payment over the phone and charged me £10 less than if I had paid by paypal = £110 with free delivery. It means you will get your PCB and 2 FOBS and have the other bits as spares.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Datatool-System-3-Thatcham-Cat-1-Alarm-Immobiliser-NEW_W0QQitemZ370088015501QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370088015501&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14

Its easy to change once you’ve seen it done. Its not obvious what you are trying to remove - its the whole thing in the black alarm box. You need to disconnect the wires at their connector blocks and then pull the PCB out from the side opposite to where the wires go in as there is loads of silicone around the wires that you may need to cut to get the PCB out.

Oh but you need special tool to open the box as it has tamperproof screws.

Message me if any questions - not an expert but have just done it on my bike (well actually someone else did for me but I watched and held a torch!)

Good luck

Whoops
Didnt read your last message properly!
At least its all working again and you dont have to wait days for something off ebay!

No problem, good you have your alarm problem sorted. :smiley:

mine aint yet :crying::crying:

Read pm I sent you. :smiley:

Hi guys, my Datatool system 3 is playing up, my key fob is broke and i only have the 1, i cannot disarm my bike. any tips on how to disarm or just turn it off. Cheers

Rip it out and bin it. Nobody listens to them and it can leave you stranded.

Cheers mate, will do. Pain in the arse.

BIN IT… :smiley:
