Doesnt matter. Also you can remove the siren and leave it somewhere. Those are programmed to make noise if removed when armed but right now you are trying to get the system back.

I've seen these Energizer keyfob testers in auto parts stores.




If you can find one nearby, it costs nothing to test your fob. Testing your fob would determine whether or not your fob is emitting a RF signal when the button is pressed.

Did you find a place to test if the fob was transmitting a signal ?

Are you a good ways from a dealership?

If you are an owner then dealer can break through the security with Digital Technician tool. Diag4Bike and Technoresearch tools can do it too. Should you be close to Philadeplhia i could do it for you no charge.

Not if the system is armed. If that were the case people would just unplug the security and steal bikes.
