    So I got myself a shiny 99 VFR800FI that comes with the stock Honda alarm system. Now, I am a big anti-alarm guy and I'm already tired of pressing the button on the remote every time I want to start it. How do I get rid of it? Thanks!

    There is no stock Honda alarm system, so anything on there must be after-market.

    That's funny, since there are Honda logo's on the remote boxes. But alright, then I'll figure out which brand it is.

    Probably a Datatool. However, there might be a service mode on it or storage mode

    Here you go! I removed the screws in order to open it, but it doesn't seem to open freely without breaking anything. Looks like there is still a screw inside that is preventing it from opening the case.

    Does it work? If you get it removed without damaging it, someone may be interested in buying it. If you lived on this side of the pond, I would consider it. Does it have two fobs or just the one?

    The 08E55MATB00 part number matches the key fob photos and the alarm base. Search for B00 on this page for an example:

    http://www.sapiensman.com/Auto_Parts_Store/s_6/shop_0.php

    It was replaced later by 08E55MATB01

    Both were European Honda options.

    If you can find the installation guide for either of them it will show you where to strip it out. Sorry, I didn't find any in my searches. You nearest dealer should have access to the old guides.

    As has been said above. If you can remove the loom intact there will almost certainly be a used market for it. The replacement costs are rather expensive.
