Funnily enough, I had a new battery fitted to my GS 1250 last week by my BMW dealer. I was convinced the tracker was draining the battery so much that after a few days it wouldn't start unless I kept it on the optimate.
They said the battery was duff, and the tracker was within specification for electricity consumption.
Since I've had the bike back the tracker has stopped working. Tracker tried several reboots, to no avail, BMW said they wouldn't have gone bear the tracker unit when they checked out the parked up drain on the battery. Tracker did, however, offer to send an engineer to my house to replace the unit for £130. I politely declined while I mused over the options. Was it a coincidence or has a tech disturbed something, or unplugged it and forgotten to restore it? Who knows.
Having read numerous threads about this issue I concluded that I was paying hard earned cash for a very useful bit of kit. However, would I want my bike back after some scumbag had busted the steering lock, dragged it away, and done unknown things to it? NO!!
So, I cancelled my subscription, got a pro rata refund, informed my insurance company (no extra charges demanded) and I still sleep soundly. It has an alarm, and registered on Datatag.
When it next goes in for a service, if I've not sold it by then (see for sale section) I'll have the unit removed.
I didn't have the options as I bought it used. But, if I order a new bike in the future, I'll probably have datatag, I will not have an alarm nor a tracker fitted. If I want a tracker I'll get a MoniMoto 7 which stands alone and is simple to use.
But you don't want a tracker, and try and get the police to take monimoto seriously. That is if you want the bike back
