Well, thereare always exceptions and reliable ones, but the number of "faulty alarm" posts we've had suggests that they don't all work as advertised.
wessie says... I doubt I'd get this treatment, I'm very friendly with the Datatool rep who works the same area as me. I made sure of this when I realised what alarm I had fitted.
Indeed. I've got my GSXR insured without an alarm and it only put about 50 quid onto the premium. So that's about 10 years before the cost of an alarm would be covered. On the other hand I couldn't get it insured without it being garaged at night, or Datatagged which says a lot about insurance companies opinions of alarms.
For all three bikes I've had, they wanted to see a certificate of installation. If you want to fake something, get a fake one of those.
Meta 357 V2, fitted, for £300. The System 3 Datatool I had was a similar price - what are you fitting that costs £600? Nothing on Peak's page (http://www.bikesecure.co.uk/pages/ride_framed.html) costs above £350 fitted as far as I can tell.
