Disable DATATOOL Duo Immobiliser

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

Having some issues with my Datatool Duo immobiliser.

I can't get the bike anywhere to get it removed as I can't get it to disarm. I had read about using some paperclips in certain points but either my immobiliser is wired up differently or something is really dodgey.

Anyone have any suggestions/work arounds to be able to get the bike up and running again?

Cheers.

follow the wiring and remove it

joining back up the immobilised points

they are more hassle than they are worth!

I have every confidence that I'll screw it up somehow

[Stu]

thats all part of the learning process

they are usually fairly straight forward!

you will have two points that are immobilised and they do it by cutting a wire at two points and attaching the immobiliser then when you disarm the immobiliser it just completes the circuit

the two points are usually away from each other

Sometimes they use the fuel pump live feed and the starter circuit

they will do something like this ........see crappy diagram

Immobiliser wires are always black its just a case of removing them and re joining the cut wires

Trip to halfrauds to pick up a cheap crimper and some butt connectors after work then.

please god no!

buy a soldering iron and do the job right

hahahahaha.... there is right and then there is what is safest for me. So you reckon solder and then tape? or solder then hot glue gun to provide insulation?

Solder and heatshrink. Remeber to slip the heatshrink on before joining the wires.

You don't use a hot glue gun to insulate wires !! Haha

Hey it was just something I saw on the internet and it was in colour! hence asking.

Heatshrink? http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/fuses-electricals-fixings/halfords-assorted-heatshrink-tubing-hfx531" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

what do you heat it with to shrink it? (I don't have a hairdryer or anything like that)

yeah heat shrink is best

if you have never used a solder iron then practice first to make sure you get it right

[Guest]

Last time I soldered anything was probably 14 years ago so yeah I'll practice first.

[Joeman]

Hold the hot end of the soldering iron under the heatshrink and it will shrink.

[Stu]

I use a lighter to shrink the heatshrink

dont hold it still too long though

[Guest]

Well so far so good. I've cut it out at least....

[Guest]

Cheers for instilling a little confidence in me haha it went a long way.

Successful removal and bike is working fine, all lights etc are good.

[Stu]

excellent

Just shows how easy these things are to remove really!

couple of hours and it was out!

Yeah if I managed it haha.

Is it normally wired into indicators/break lights etc? Seemed odd to me that they were included in the whole thing.

[Stu]

Yes they are

do the indicators flash when you touch the fob on?

I am pretty sure the Due can be upgraded to take an alarm too

Can't say I ever saw any of the lights flash when armed or disarmed, but they were all spliced in.

Think mine was a Duo.. The bloody thing never worked it stayed on all the time! Sometimes took 20minutes to start the f**kin bike haha.

Removing mine was a ballache.. it was wrapped around so many other wires from end to end i had half the bike in pieces to remove it.

I think into total mine was spliced into 5 wires, so wasn't too bad.

Datatools are a pain in the ass! When I bought my bike I remember thinking "oh, its got an alarm fitted, that's good". How little did I kno...

Hmm this is worrying! The speed four has a datatool system 3 installed. It's working fine but it's very sensitive. Once I pass I'll have the bike parked on the street and I'm worried it'll constantly be going off. I don't want to turn it off as that kinda defeats the purpose of having a blaring alarm...

[Stu]

You can turn the sensitivity down on them

It's a system 3 I've got too and yes it is sensitive but I've never had it go off on its own, that said I keep mine in the garage. The main problems I have are it has a mind of its own sometimes when I try to enable/disable non standard features, like service mode for example
