No experience of that but in a similar vain the alarm/immobiliser on my Moto Guzzi Stelvio was set off by the ship to shore comms system on the Portsmouth to Bilbao ferry disabling the bike while a handset was anywhere near!

Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #1 Never had that - but would be concerned that conversely their system may have been keeping your bike unlocked and so able to be started by an opportunist thief!

Zitat von fred_jb im Beitrag #3Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #1 The shop system will be scanning for passive RFID tokens not logged as sold at the checkout. You may have seen them on expensive lumps of meat and booze. The scanner won't have much of a range and presumably Peelz was near to or going through the scanner when his key fob triggered an alarm as it's active RFID token is not on the whitelist. The scanner in the shop exit is not going to have a range that reaches the car park nor will it be transmitting an RFID token that would be recognised by the bike's ECU so you should not need to worry. |
