How to disable datatool system 3 alarm permanently / alarm removal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- To put Datatool system 3 alarm in service mode first disarm the system same way as before riding your bike. With the system disarmed and ignition ON press and HOLD the smaller button on the fob until an audible beep sound is heard. The ignition can now be switched off. You should now be in service mode.
(if for whatever reason you wish to leave the service mode press the button on the fob)
In service mode your Datatool system 3 will make an audible beep every 15 seconds. To permanently disable(get rid of the alarm once and for all) follow the instructions from the video.
You saved my life. I was just replacing an indicator bulb, and somehow in the course of doing that my datatool decided the bike was stolen or something. Every time it rearmed it started going off. Must have short-circuited or something. It got to the point where I even removed the battery in order to kill it and deal with it another day. 30 seconds after the battery was out, I get a double beep and the alarm goes off again. I was genuinely worried I was either going to have to go at it with a hammer and disable my bike on a permanent basis, or spend the night outside disarming the alarm every 30 seconds. Thank God (or you) it's off now!
I'm glad my video helps. Congrats on getting the shitty thing of your bike👍
Just so everyone knows you must disconnect both the terminals not just the 6 pin one, but this does work great guide
4 years later you're still saving lives thank you so much my honda hornet runs after 8 long years of sitting in someone's garden
I'm so happy to see that the video helps!
Thanks for commenting
Absolute legend❤
I found the post online but you're video gave me something to follow step by step
Thanks Tom from london🎉
Thanks for this video it helped enormously. Got this to work on my Honda Pan. It works a treat. What the video doesn't tell you is to use a size TT10mm (Tamperproof Torx) Screw driver, which has a hole in it's center!
Also leave BOTH the 6 pin & 8 pin connector blocks out (after - bypassing the 6 pin block 1&2 and 5&6 connections of the 6 pin block).
Was a bit tricky getting the 6 pin block out. After I had finished I didn't realise that you must remove the 8 pin block as well. So the alarm kept going off again until it was disconnected!
Thanks for your advice about the 8 pin block it hadn't worked until I saw what you had put ...no more problems cheers
I did as the video says, didn't work, buy ill do what you did tomorrow, cheers for the info
What a nightmare the s3 is. It's just started to go faulty and have to mess around to get the bike started.
Just eating to get security bits and its being DISABLED. This vid has saved a lot of cash and head banging on the wall. THANKS
thanks buddy, i'm happy it helps other bikers!
I can confirm this works, after watching the video I tried it, fired up straight away. Mine was alarm battery problem. Thanks for the tip.
you are a hero. I have a Triumph Daytona 955i which had a flat battery, I replaced the battery and the bike didn't want to do anything. The alarm sounded once, then stopped and the bike immobilised its self. Then i followed your advice and , hey presto bike is now running and perfect ready for a track day
Great to read comment like that😊
Thanks for this helpful video. I had a Datatool Veto plus on my Vfr800fi. This video inspired me to try it myself. I made the suggested bridge, and removed the rest of the unit. No more worries whether the datatool will leave me stranded, which happened once.
I’m going to try this on mine, the fact my battery is always dead is driving me nuts lol thanks for sharing
Me too, alarm to deter theft but now I do t have bike as it always dead since trickle charger died
As Dan said a year ago, unplug both the 6 pin and the 8 pin plugs and leave them unplugged.
Great video thanks for restoring my "CALM".
Yes, as Ben Davis, said....unplug both wiring blocks. I tried this mod couple of weeks ago on my 1050. I unplugged the siren and the 6 pin block, and bridged the four pins, and left my 8 pin block connected. However, the alarm still activated the indicators, etc. I couldn't find an inline fuse to disconnect the power source on my bike, so I then unplugged the 8 pin block (power) and it worked a treat. The bike now starts and runs just off the key. Happy days :)
The little clip is called a jumper. Great video thanks.
Thanks man, you are an absolute hero and just saved me having to put in the spare wiring harness I have.
Bike was parked up for the last 3 years and the alarm would not respond to the fobs and pin override didn't work.
I had to butcher the top off the alarm but my 2005 zx6r is now running again thanks to you 👍
I'm so happy this video helps people. Thanks for your positive comment !
@@Adikxx Thanks again man👍
Obviously at some stage I'll take the alarm out altogether but for now I'm happy😁
Think I have your bike 😂
Thank you.
My S3 pissed me off so much, I haven’t used the bike in over a year.
With occasionally not switching modes, not letting the bike start (the usual awkward place and time) then the alarm going off when I’m 300 miles away on another bike, thus driving the wife potty till I got back home.
Never again..
This also works for the data tool veto. Disconnect not terminal blocks put the pins in the 6 pin block as in the video. No plug or tab to remove. I also unplugged the siren in the data tool. And it worked to my surprise 😁
Brilliant!
many thanks for this,carried it out on my honda valkyrie trike as the datatool was giving me all sorts of problems,not any more with this fix,i got into the box and unplugged everything that was plugged in, i then removed the whole circuit board and binned it,all there is in the case now is the 6 pin block that has been bridged at both ends and the 8 pin block,the the speaker wire block and another bock.everything works perfect now ,no worries of being stranded anymore ,fantastic fix.
Glad it worked! Awsome
Hi, does your bike fire up after disconnecting both 6 and 8 pin blocks, also do you have to plug back in any plug after bridging them
Thank you.
I thought I was going to have to do a proper removal. So it's saved the day!
LEGEND!!!!! i was quoted the same price mate and i luckily found your video!
Worked for me,. Thanks.
Other "guides" I found before this said to short first and last pair of the *large* connector. Which was wrong.
Mine was marked "Datatool Veto System" on the lid.
Glad it worked bud. Thanks for commenting
Cheers Pal you are an Absolute Super Star thought my 1999 ZX6R was dead and buried as no repair shop would touch a 1999 immobiliser🍺😁👍
I'm happy this helps. Kind regards
I had an issue with my alarm and I have followed your instructions and completely disabled it thank God. I really appreciate you showing us how to so this as mine was becoming a pain in the arse and now its sorted. I didn't need to put it in service mode either as I just disconnected the battery and Happy days. Thanks my friend
Thank you, I'm very glad this helps , that was the sole purpose of this video-to help people solving those darn alarms.
@@Adikxx thanks once again buddy
For those that want to remove the box and wiring this is how I did it.
1. Trace the wires from the data tool box to the rear indicators and cut. (Just for flashing when Arming and disarming the alarm)
2. Trace the wires from the data tool box to the solenoid Sat just behind the battery. They are red and yellow wires. Cut the wires that are connecting to these and reconnect the red and yellow wires together. (Data tool box controls wether bike can be started using these wires)
3. Trace the black wire from the data tool box to the inline fuse remove the fuse and snip the wire so the inline fuse holder stays on the bike but without the fuse so it can’t short on anything. (This is where the data tool box gets it’s power)
4. Locate the two blue and grey wires and snip from the data tool box loom. Reconnect the two blue and grey wires to each other.
5. Unscrew the tamper switch at the rear and pull the full loom out.
I did all this with the battery connected and alarm in service mode
All was well for me bike starts everything works but as always do this at your own risk.
I done what the video said and it worked yesterday then the next day the alarm came back and I couldn't believe it. Followed your instructions to remove the alarm all went well thanks very much
Thank you very much for this post. My Datatool System 3 failed completely, this got me out of trouble :)
Just done this with a DATATOOL alarm and hey presto! Works a treat thank you 😊
I just did this to my Veto Evo after it decided to not recognise either of my fobs and keep going off as had no way to switch off. Well done matey top info (y)
Brill, i'm glad this was helpful
Brilliant video, answer to my prayers, I bought a Blackbird earlier this year and the seller conveniently forgot to tell me the alarm was a PITA, the only problem I have is locating it, cant see it anywhere under the seat or back of the bike???? Cant be too many places this would be installed surely!
excellent well done, imagine a company that provides an alarm system that is so easy for criminals to override but so hard and expensive for the owner to neutralise without compromising insurance or warranty, disgraceful crap from datatool
Kind of worked for me on my GSX-R. I kept on hearing the alarm making a noise continuously (I'd disconnected the speaker) after bridging 1&2 on the 6 pin and thought this is going to drain the battery. After blowing the fuel fuse several times I decided to bridge ports 1 & 2 on the 8 pin and it worked a treat.
Forgot to mention that I bridged ports 1&2 + 5&6 on the 6 pin not just 1&2.
Thank you so much for the video 👍👍👍 20 min job bike back in action
Cheers buddy helped me out as my remotes were working but wouldn't switch off the immobilizer and alarm, eventually found the box and did what you said PITA systems always go wrong will attempt to physically remove it in time
Awsome, glad it was useful !
Finally got to immobilise the alarm. It was draining the battery and then it started to have a mind of its own. Thank again you save me a lot of pain.🤑👍
I'm glad it worked, take care bud!
I was really hoping for an on/off switch 😄
I have the datatool duo, no alarm just immobiliser unit that looks exactly the same as this. Is this the same procedure? Mine keeps rearming and cutting the bikes power like when you hit the kill switch? Cheers
Watched the Video, very helpful, but i want to remove the complete wiring loom from the Alarm.
So the Bike is back to standard without this Spaghetti Junction
Super thank you
Unfortunately all the cables and block connectors are sealed in resin as well as mastic
I did hear putting it in service mode first but this
Will not go int this
Tried bypass / bridging from the top but no hope
used this today wish i found this 2 years ago
Hi, what screwdriver head is needed to open the alarm box to access the 6 pin white connector? seem to be star shaped but with a pin in the middle.
Igot it sorted thanks, now all I have to do is charde up my battery!
Dont work what on earth am I doing wrong or still screams when I connect the battery , please advise
maybe disconnecting the siren itself will work? Not sure if you'd have to bridge the diconnected wires. Was thinking of trying it
Do you only have to pull out the six block connector for this to work. Someone further down in this post says that both block connectors have to be connected....
Does this work on the data tool s4 green alarm I was told if I just unplug the 3 white connector plugs .. It will disarm and make it the alarm dorment.. And back to stock set up.. Just not sure about the black pin you had taken out next to the socket on in own if that has to be removed to.. Thanks
Does this work on the older datatool immobiliser.
And after you bridge the connector do live it free or you reconnect it to the same place?
Thanks.
Is this the same unit on every bike?looks same as this one,right?
My doesn't scream,just blinking hazard lights all the time,every time you move bike or switch the ignition on....stupid!
Anyone else having issue with bike being immobilised after doing it?
Any chance to disable immobiliser somehow too as the procedure on the video disarm only alarm a not immobiliser right?
YOU MY SON ARE A FUCKING GENIUS!!😎🖒 iv been having nothing but problems with both my system 3 alarms on both my bikes.😲 but thanks to your time making this video my life just got a hole Lot easier without ripping my bike's apart to remove the shit! So top man for that 🖒🤘😀
I have the same alarm on my ZZR600, tried the same method, and it didnt work,
Does that allow me to turn my bike on because it’s demobilised.. I don’t have a working fob which is a pain
Are you happy with what you did on your bike?
Did you have a good result?
hi there, did you disconnected both wires or just the one with the 6holes? i did the same process but i didn't unplugged the wire (8holes) and the alarm was still going on and on, but the bike was starting all the time even with alarm on (can you help)?????
Leave BOTH the 6 pin & 8 pin connector blocks out (after - bypassing the 6 pin block 1&2 and 5&6 connections of the 6 pin block). After I had finished I didn't realise that you must remove the 8 pin block as well. So the alarm kept going off again until it was disconnected!
I have the datatool s3 21 it has 8 pins one side and 2 the other side where u have the 6, anyone know how to disarm that?
Did not work for me. Did you plug the plugs back in fully after bridging them? Also do you have to screw the lid back on? I tried it with lid off and the alarm is still fully active.
You need to do everything he shows in video but also you need to unplug the 8 pin block too or the alarm just keeps active !
Very helpful thank you
Hi, I have bridged the connections shown but I don't have that little black connection you also said to remove. Anyhow I can now get the bike to turn over but still wont fire up. I believe I have a datatool veto on my 97 cbr600. Any ideas please.
You manage to sort it I have the same problem ?
@@georgeevans9563 I took it to a main dealer who removed the datatool for me, From what I remember there was a damaged wire going to the starter. The person who fitted the alarm spliced into it poorly. I'd suggest removing all the wiring for alarm and join the loom back together. Taking car to look for anything damaged, if it is just cut it and rejoin.
Can I ask, did you plug the 6 pin and 8 pin plugs back into their sockets or did you just leave them to one side?
How long did the paper clip connections have to be, or put simpler, how far into the holes do the paper clip have to be in order to work?
I have carried out the same work as shown in your video but the alarm will still arm itself when not in dealer mode.
Thanks in advance.
Great video by the way.
Hi bud. From what i remember i just neatly placed both white connectors in a position allowing closing the box,somewhat in their slots but not fully in if that makes sense.
I reckon the reason it didn't work for you was the type of wire you used. Thin,silver paper clip wire isn't the best for that. Try using proper copper wire from old electrical cable. Those are a bit thicker and should work. In terms of lenght both ends of "U" clips that i made were about 1.5cm-1.8cm long. Hope this hels. Let us know if it worked this time.
Regards
@@Adikxx You are a gentleman.
I unplugged both the 8 pin white connector and 6 pin white connector like you described along with the little black 'thingy', screwed the cover back on and now no more alarm!! Happy days.
Thank you so much.
@@Adikxx hi there great video! my question is is this will fix/sort the immobiliser? as i have issue with it. i have same system, and when you press the remote control and is beeps once, my bike won't start so i have to play with this remote control alarm on off. until i can start the bike.?
Brilliant fix.. took longer than expected as the white blocks were covered in black silicone sealant but once carefully cut away video instructions followed and success! Thank you
themadubeagful - did you add the copper wire or just pull the plug?
Gut, dobre ,oby tak dalej powodzenia
Sorry to be the one dissenting voice here, but I did this bypass today and the damn alarm is still screaming its head off...
I would be interested to know what you used to bridge the terminals in the block connector, I used a bent paper clip, maybe it wasn't big enough gauge or something dunno tbh, it's a puzzle,
In the end I just un-plugged the speaker from the board, I know this won't stop the battery drain, but at least I don't have to listen to it anymore.... damn thing must learn what you've done to it, because, now there's no chirp from the speaker, the indicators flash when arming/disarming... weird isn't the word ???
Think I'm just going to have to cough up the £200+ to get it removed
Hi bud, i used copper wire. Worked a treat
I know this is old but hopefully you can answer. Do you still need to press the fob to be able to still turn the ignition on?
Hi, i sold that bike and can't remember that well but i think i didn't need to do that
Thanks for the great vid. quick question, once you have done this, do you ever have to use the fob again? Or can you just turn your engine on and off without having to do anything. Many Thanks!
No messing around with fob. Basically forget about alarm.
@@Adikxx what about the immobiliser? as my bike on turning ( engine) but won't fires up. until i start playing with fob/remote control on and off, and then it will start
i read about this system on forums, and everyone saying about the immobiliser
@@petinyiri same issues here, let me know how you get on
@@seanviper99 Hi, i just done the same thing from this video, and it is working fine, just like no alarm at all anymore
@@petinyiri so you bridged the wires and reconnected the plugs?
Bloody trying get my bike running and the bloody things keep s going off so took the cover off and snipped one of the siren wires
Same with mine, in the past week I have had to replace the dead for a charged battery 4 times. Got a MOT this afternoon I bet a £20 it wont start.
Did you get the £20?
great video just one question.....how do you put it in service mode?
I'll need to check the manual and will come back to you bud.
To put Datatool system 3 alarm in service mode first disarm the system same way as before riding your bike. With the system disarmed and ignition ON press and HOLD the smaller button on the fob until an audible beep sound is heard. The ignition can now be switched off. You should now be in service mode.
In service mode your Datatool system 3 will make an audible beep every 15 seconds. To permanently disable(get rid of the alarm once and for all) follow the instructions from the video.
@@Adikxx thanks for that, much appreciated👌
You can also just stop the beeping my disconnecting the speaker connector. It’s just a small plug that pulls off. This will mean the alarm still works and disables the bike if needed but it won’t make a sound, you will just have the indicators flash.
Does this stop the battery drain , thanks for posting man mines killer
My has only 2 cables in this conektor???????
Hi mate just bought a bike with one of these fuckers on it. What is the wire that you've used to bridge? Thanks
Thans you after i put put the 8 pin it wurks
Hello what wire did you all use to bridge them. Thank you
I used some old 1mm electrical cable
@@Adikxx thank you mate I'm going have a try today
@@davidwilliams3288 no worries, hope it works
Does this disable the immobiliser too or just the alarm?
Just alarm
@@Adikxx ok thanks, my alarm has gone rogue and its immobilising the bike right now, looks like I'm better off just getting it removed
My bike won't run so I think it's this bloody alarm so gunna give it a try
Will this work on any data tool please
It might. Not sure.
great vid buddy. when this is done, can I remove?
Hi bud, not sure. I thought about that but sold the bike eventually so never got that checked. The disabling trick worked great anyway so at least it won't keep annoying you or draining your batt.
When the next scumbag does the same and rides away with your bike, you might be less derogatory.
The truth is that if the scumbags really want your bike they will have it no matter what alarm is on it.
I disharm mine turn on the ignition but the fucker reharms its self even though ignition is on
Same with my S4, I hate the fucking thing. POS.
Why would you show thieves how to disable your alarm once they’ve stolen it can you upload the vid of the day your bike got stolen and how devastated you felt knowing you had disabled the alarm system
I would show thieves how to disable the alarm because they wouldn't even bother messing around with it. Instead they would just come with a van and put the whole bike in it completely disregarding the fact that it might an alarm. Alarm in a motorcycle is AN ABOLUTE JOKE. I could post a video showing how devastated i was seeing my battery drained because of it, or how pissed i was trying do maintenance of my bike with alarm yelling every time i disconnected the battery(which had to be done on some maintenance procedures). Or maybe you'd prefer a video showing devastated owner who is stranded in the middle of nowhere because the alarm has a glitch and bike is immobilised? Alarms in bikes is pure aggravation, hassle, waiste of money and finally ASKING FOR PROBLEMS !
Thank you very much and have a wonderful day.
@@Adikxx well you might think that way but trust me my alarm has foiled two attempts on my bike and also even if your bike was shoved into the back of a van the alarm would spook any thief thats what they are there for
@@jeffvaljean6030 If like me they would just want to rip it out to stop the infernal noise it makes. They would do A LOT of damage to your bike in the process. I think a bike ignition immobiliser, several locks and a tracker are a far far better deterrent to prevent bike theft and recovering your bike if stolen. These alarms especially Datatool are a PITA. I know as I have have an S4 alarm on one of my bikes. I hate it. It passively alarms every 45 seconds. Nightmare doing anything with this bike.
@@alexmorgan3435 see now that I get I live in London and an I mobiliser is a must I get the annoying beeps but still I much prefer an alarm than to be without one
