Datatool system 3

[killa]

Before i melt this thing down to use as a coffee coaster (and possibly a flick through the manual)
What’s going on with this thing?
Battery is fine in the fob, battery seems fine on the bike. The fob has two buttons, one to disarm and one changes the alarm mode i think.

Whenever it feels like it the alarm decides when i press the ‘disarm’ button, it’ll continue to make long beeeeep! beeeep! beeeep! beeeeep! Noises (not the noise of triggered alarm) and no amount of pressing the buttons switch it off. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won’t.
Has anyone else had this, how do i stop it making me look like a tit everywhere i go?

If I remember correctly the long beeping noises tell you that the alarm has gone off since it was armed and the number of beeps tells you what caused it to go off.
Not sure what would cause it to continuously give long tones.

Take note of how many beeps and what tone they are then look at the manual.


When the alarm has gone off it doesn't beep for long just slightly longer than normal.

a quick look at the manual later, are you putting into service mode by accident, system beeps every 15 secs ?

in case you can't find it the manual can be found

beeps :-
2 Power Failure (Alarm) Fuse failed Wires cut
3 Hot wire detection (possible theft) Ignition tampered with
4 Movement detection Motorcycle has been moved
5 Nudge detection Motorcycle has been nudged too many times
6 Tamper circuit Protective trigger switch has been initiated

Not sure but they're fucking annoying! Filling up with petrol is an arse, it arms itself and you have to put it into valet/service mode or keep the ignition on.

[Liono]

I've got the System 3 on my bike too and I despise it. It seems to be expressly designed with the intention of being as annoying as possible (yes, I can see why it might need to though).

The fact that there isn't a way of putting it into a mode where it doesn't beep every few seconds is incredibly annoying; it's very off-putting trying to do any work on it with it chirping away idiotically at frequent intervals.

[Jayy]

Reassuring to know that Pete! I carry the fob on around my neck on a black chord thing that came with it, if I lose my keys and someone thinks they can steal the bike, they can't. At the same time though, If I somehow lose the fob from around my neck or put it down somewhere, I'm fucked!

[Oldie]

Had this system on my last bike - absolutely hated it.

Now have the Triumph/Datatool 4? and it's much better, but still a pain. At least you can fill up with fuel and it doesn't go berserk if a fly lands on the seat

[sickpup]

[TUG]

ARGH mine is driving me fucking mental, it keeps beeping 3 times when I arm and disarm the alarm, i've checked all my wires and they are not at fault, i fucking hate this alarm, i've always hated the system 3's so i think its time to see if i can get a meta cheap from somewhere!!!!

Alarms suck!

Look in the manual, I managed to get mine to do nothing at all apart from beeping when it arms/disarms. I managed to move the bike around and even lift the tank without it going off

Pfft. System 3 is easy.

Petrol Station:

- Pull up.
- Ignition off.
- Arm alarm (Left Button)
- Disarm movement (Right Button)
- Fill up as normal.

WTF is hard about that?

Mike, take the alarm off and burn it.

I had the system 3 on my TL, it kept going off randomly (even when not set!!) and died on me on the M4 the same day it did exactly what yours did.

Shocking alarm, It keft giving me Fi Fault codes after its was "fixed" by a datatool dealer.
I ended up taking the whole thing off.

Out of interest

HOW DO YOU take the ****** thing off the bike - properly??

Mine came with the bike (BMW) and is a pain in the butt because of the battery drain during periods of bike inactivity. The repetitive beep when the battery is out for various reasons is also grrrrrr !!

Service mode makes it beep.

You can disarm it to make it make no noise too, just press the buttons in a differed way, Which I forgot how to do now!

The siren on mine actually broke it was so vocal... think it beeped itself to death.

I had one on my Triumph, it was a complete ball ache tbh.

It had a mind of its own, if i didnt use the bike for a while it would drain the battery and i just bloody hated it.

By the time i figured out just how easy it was to remove it i had pretty much sold the bike. (Not because of the alarm, i just wanted a change).

Hateful things in my opinion.
