alarm removal

[Pat]

On my 357vt2 it was the 2 pins next to the ones shown in the pic that I had to bridge,  i.e. if you are looking at the connector with the latch on the top, mine were 2&4 counting from the left.

Cheers, I'll try that, I didn't want to try others in case I blew the ecu

Result

It was the 1&2 ports and 3&4 ports on the top row from left side of the block connector on my meta m357tv2

Many thanks for the help.

Apologies for the thread resurrection. I've just removed a Meta M357T-V2 unit from my Fazer using a bypass plug supplied by Abacus Alarms http://www.abacuscaralarms.co.uk/

Couldn't have been easier. Have to recommend them.

I should make it clear I have no commercial interest in Abacus or Meta whatsoever.

Hi All

Had my Fazer for 12 yrs now from new and its never let me down, to be fair I don't use it that much but when I do, I do!
Been following the threads about the Meta357T knowing that one day its going to happen to me.

Well guess what! Not used the bike for the last 4 months so thought I would just check everything was OK battery wise as I leave mine on the Optimate.

Ignition on, fuel pump buzzing away nicely as you would expect but no action from the key fob, funny I thought and then nothing when starter pressed. I could see the battery was fine as I was getting 12.9v from the multiguage lights came on bright and a manual check across the terminals confirmed this.

Yes, it must be the Meta then. Being a bit cautious about bridging/cutting wires and stuff I had another search and found that someone had removed their negative battery terminal for 10 mins and reconnected it to reset something. Thought to myself, why not give this a try. Sure enough when I reconnected I heard some feint sounds and she fired into life without touching the key fob. Result!!!

I thought that after 20 mins or so the alarm may re-set itself and I would be back to square one. But no, I have tried several more times over the last few days and the alarm seems to have died in an unarmed state. Making the key fob redundant. Could that be so?

If not, I am now confident to use the bridging technique above should I need to.

I know you will all say, why not do it now but I just wanted to see what happens.

Hope the negative battery bit might get someone out of a quick jam like mine did.

Regards

Steve

As Above my datatool 3 is playing up and would love to remove it so if anyone can help i would appreciate it too 

[PaulSmith]

It is quite rediculously easy. Two paper clips (or one broken in half).

Well, tell us how to do it then!

I have, and there is no mention of a paper clip remedy to de-activate a Datatool 3 alarm. The earlier part of the thread deals with a Meta alarm deactivation.

Have a closer look at the photo posted by chitsu, it is post #15 in this thread. He used bits of wire, I used paper clips but the block is part of the bikes wiring loom designed for alarms to plug into. Which alarm you have really doesn't matter since it is going to be unplugged.
