I'm assuming you mean the remote and the answer is yes,you can set the remote to vibrate. Btw I believe all of the Scorpios will passively arm like a car alarm but the 900 will arm and disarm when the remote gets within a certain distance. It was funny but the kid I installed the 900 for kept trying to demo his new alarm with the remote in his pocket,so it wouldn't go off and he kept getting angry! |

I like the fact that with ignition disable your bike won't start unless the remote is in range (on the 900)but like someone mentioned,most thefts are grab and go so it really doesn't make any difference. It does have a "carjack" feature that lets you turn your bike off it someone snatches it from you. Unless you have the remote attached to the key,duh! My biggest problem with ignition kill is if something goes wrong with the install or the system your bike won't start. It's really a matter of preference. I mounted my unit on the subframe so if anyone so much as touches my bike the two stage shock sensor warns them away. Btw I suggest a similar mounting location for your Scorpio, Alot of guys like putting them under the seat but I'd rather place it in the tail on the subframe. Again personal preference. |

Tigger hit on most my pov on proxy.
On the ignition disable... I will give this STERN WARNING! Please considered carefully tapping into ANYTHING with your ignition. Its not something you should take lightly. These electronics like ignition are touchy. You will get more problems out of it than you want. Instead tap into the starter trigger wire (the small one not the big power wire), try the clutch or kickstand safety switch. Just wire the alarm relay inline. The alarm when "ON" just activates the "kill" (relay) and breaks the "chosen" circuit to stop the bike from starting. When you do this try to use spade connectors in a logical manner so if Tigger's speculation is right... you can bypass the alarm by essentially returning the bike's wiring back to normal/stock. Now granted this turns it into a simple starter kill and you will not be able to use the "anti-hijack" feature this way but really that is ok. Further one of these ways is how I protect my $50k chop and it works well. |

I was talking to the guy at the local small dealer about it, and he recommended that I go with the proximity sensor but not ignition disable. He also said he would match internet prices as long as they weren't way too low. I was disappointed though because he thought they were a pit bull dealer but weren't. He is a woodcraft dealer though...

As I said... you don't have to use it on the ignition... just view it as a starting kill instead. Trust me it works!
