Data tool Veto Plus Decommissioning

Post by haiax0 »

Hey folks

I currently have a data tool veto plus immobilizer / alarm fitted to my bike. I have only one key fob at present due to a loss of the other one. I am worried the only fob may be close to failing / being accidently lost, As you know an armed bike with no means to disarm is a nightmare situation.

I have been in contact with Data tool and had it confirmed that my veto plus 413Mghz key fobs are discontinued and very hard come by on the second hand market. This has lead me to the thought of decommissioning the unit (leaving it installed but permanently turned off)

I Have phoned our wonderfully merciless friends at Ecosse and have been quoted around £200, Which i am not willing to pay for what i believe may be a simple job.

Has any one else had any experience with disarming alarm systems? I wouldn't know where to start... (the unit was professionally wired in by an alarm specialist in england)

I am sure a few of the kids in the less desirable areas of Aberdeen are experts - suggest putting up some posters offering the job!

Other than that, sorry bud.

I have removed a few alarm systems from bikes in the past without too much bother. Let me know if you need a hand.
