I have a Datatool alarm which was installed by the dealer before I picked it 
up.  It is extremely simple to use, especially to switch into and out of 
service mode for ferries, servicing etc.  I once stopped in the school 
carpark which was full of cars(of course!), when I switched the alarm off to 
ride it, the damm thing wouldn't respond.  I spent ages messing with it, 
giggling the battery etc.  I eventually called the RAC.  Just when the local 
Aye-Gee van rolled in (hated Honda/Yamaha dealer, they're good really, just 
had a great laugh at my expense!), it responded (of course!).  All I can 
think was that the car alarms in the car park had jammed my signal 
temporarily.  It hasn't happened since.   The battery in the hand set lasted 
about 8 months.  I'd ignored the flickering light when using it for a couple 
of weeks, then after stopping at a shop on the way home, it wouldn't respond. 
I had to point it directly at/touching the alarm computer before it 
responded.  Just the downfalls of using alarms, but I think it's worth it.
