    Thank you very much! I was wondering if I could use this units for an other vehicle, and thanks to your video I found out I could!

    The sensitivity is set by pressing lock button or alarm button 5 beeps is highest sensitivity 1 beep is the Lowest sensitivity

    Nice presentation. A warning to NOT hook up yellow wires to modern can bus / LED bikes. They supply 12V and turn signals are sometimes 3-6V and they will blow more than a fuse. I bought some cheap, stand-alone 12v LED strips with the adhesive backing. You can chose your color. IF, I hook up the ignition kill, I'll wire in a bypass jumper - male female spade, bullet, etc., under the seat.

    Thank you Sir, great video...really helped me
  • @Tinytijn
    Hai, great video. Is there a wat to get a 12 v only when the alarm is on? I want to put a red led on it so you can see that it is armed.

    This is a very helpful video. The original instructions are truly terrible! I have a question if I may; regarding the blue "start" wire. When the button's pressed, this goes live for a couple of seconds to turn the starter motor. On my bike (xt600) all lives are permanently connected and switching is done by earthing. So, when you press the starter button all you are doing is completing the circuit by making an earth. So, as I see it, a low current live input for two seconds cannot be used to start the bike as everything is live anyway. I'm thinking that to use this function I will need to connect the blue wire to a 12v relay (other end of the coil earthed). One relay output is permanently earthed and the other connects to the live side of the starter button. So when the blue wire goes live it closes the relay and completes the start circuit by earthing it. Is this correct? Also, I thought I could connect the pink and grey wires across the sidestand switch as when the stand is down the cdi is earthed and will not generate a spark. I'd be interested in your thoughts and thanks again. Jolyon

    There is a new one now it got a panic mode but no starter as a 9v battery back up it would be nice to have a proper sort out good video thanks.
  • @skf3747
    Thank you for your video! My alarm that looks the same as you return to alarm mode after few seconds even if I disarm it. The only way I can stop the alarm when riding is with the lighning button. Damned!
  • @wahidmosavy
    Thanks for this video. I have this same system on my maxiscooter. It was installed by the previous owner. The ingnition start button never seemed to work but other than that the system worked fine. Since recently, all of a sudden, the system arms itself after being disarmed. It always happens afer 14-15 seconds. It even does so while the engine is running. The only way to stop it from happening is pressing the ignition start button/lightning key twice and putting it in 'ignition' mode. Do you have any idea why this would suddenly happen? Is it just broken or did I press a button combination for auto-arming. Thanks in advance.

    There's something you didn't explanained I have one similar to this But it have a connector for 9v battery It have extra function , which is when you disconnect the battery and the device is in lock mode , alarm will start the sound using the 9v battery for power
  • @defossard
    I suppose you have to start the bike from the fob to stop the cdi being earthed if both the pink and grey wires are connected.
  • I have found a fuse for power (removing fuse behaves like turning a key off - engine stops). I want to cut one of the cable leading to this fuse and put '2 cables' from the alarm connecting it again via alarm unit so when alarm goes off - the power is off. Which cables allows me to do that?
  • @Cr0zzAlpha
    Can you try cutting the cdi ground wire and have gray on one end and pink on the other end?
  • Can you please guide me through where on a wire harness I would splice the Grey and Pink onto? Thank you.
  • Thank you very much man, very complete explanation. As far as you know, is there a way to implement a block motor function? (I mean, kill ignition when the alarm is armed or ringing)
