The Meta M537t is in my opinion dangerous.Mine failed whilst riding,fortunatly at low speed.had it disconnected,there is a battery within the unit which cannot be accessed what is that all about? I would suggest having this item removed before one causes an accident. (read more)

“pile of rubbish”
Written on: 01/11/2012
the meta357t well the cost of 90 pound to have it removed is worth every penny as you simply cannot trust this alarm;i mean just because your battery loses some charge the alarm should recover not go to sleep never to wake up again shame on the manufactures of the biggest pile of rubbish ever made i will never purchase anything made by meta i called there chap today to tell him and hey got his answer phone guess he was asleep aswell;anyway you have been warned.

“Meta M357 bike alarm the most reliable alarm on the...”
Written on: 08/02/2012 by abacuscaralarms (1 review written)
Firstly let me state I fit Meta alarms for a living & without doubt these are the most reliable electronic bike security systems on the market today. Its true these alarms can start too give problems at around the ten-year mark, I still know of the earlier model fitted in 1998 which are still going strong today. Now before the moaners out there say ‘10 years is that all’ I'll let you into a little secret that in my experience similar Datatool products on average gives problems after 5 or... (read more)

Written on: 23/03/2011
Just bought a Kawasaki GPZ 500s with this system already fitted, took it round the block for a spin and turned the engine off at the petrol station to fill up and it wouldnt respond to the key fob when i tried to start it, the bike was totally immobilised and I had to wheel the thing home up a hill to my house, complete waste of money, avoid at all costs, save yourself a lot of hassle. Thankfully I lived close-by, if you were out on a sunday run somewhere and stopped and this happened, you'd... (read more)

Written on: 13/08/2010
Bought my BMW R1150 RT in 2008 with META M357T already fitted by 1st owner.
Have had one or two minor operational niggles where the system wouldn't "wake up" after the bike had been unused for a few weeks, and found the only way of definitely getting results was to disconnect, then re-connect the battery, which as owners of this bike will know is a heck of a chore owing to inaccessibilty.
However, worst scenario has just happened...heavy rain, Normandy, day before due to come home, alarm...

Written on: 05/07/2010
Hadnt had any problems with the bike but it should be a lot more sensitive to movement, you could easily steal a bike with a 357t fitted if you were careful with the tilt sensor.
It has however immobilised my bike on a corner at 50 before when the tilt sensor has kicked in, when i took it to get the immobiliser reset the mechanics said they have had other issues of this happening on motorways so im getting it removed ! i wouldnt recommend anyone with this alarm keeps it fitted, its a...

Meta M357T works well when dry....saved the bike being stolen outside my work place. Lost my keys, thought no prob,get a new fob.Now had 3 delivered that were supposed to be programmed to the key card..followed meta advice to the letter..can de-active the immobilizer but cant get it to lock on to the new fob,,so i am now in the position of having to do the long job of disabling the meta,driving the bike and every time i stop going through the same 10min boring routine. Tried many times to... (read more)

“Don't buy it if it is in danger of getting slighly...”
Written on: 17/05/2006 by fcmcd
Don't buy it if it is in danger of getting slighly wet.As soon as Meta M357T comes in contact with water the sound goes weird, I had mine under the seating on my 2006 650 bandit. That's where the maunufacturer fitted and recommmend it but when it rains or I wash my bike (bucket,soap) no power hose it went off and took up to 5 days to get back to normal. I am away to get my 3rd one fitted to the same bike cos they keep going dodgy now I am thinking about the acumen (read more)

Hi,
<br/>I also have the same alarm, and mine is also making the strange noise when am arming it. Instead of an audible high bleep, it now sounds like a cat fart. The alarm still works, but sometimes when I arm it, instead of the usual two ( cat farts ), sorry bleeps, it sometimes bleeps 4 times? It says nothing about 4 bleeps in the instruction manual, but the alarm does still work.
<br/>I used to have a Datatool, which I prefere because if somebody just touches the bike it bleeps, which is much better I feel, than somebody having to move the bike and then the alarm goes off. I could have the bike outside my house, and a slight movement would alert me that something was not right, like a child touching it. Much better I feel. So in my opinion if you are looking for an alarm, go for the Datatool model.
