Piaggio Vespa Factory Alarm

[@madisonave64]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I had no idea this was possible. The disc locks I've tried are terrible for the city because they go off way too easily. Have the option for different levels of movement before the alarm goes off is so smart.

[@VespaPortland]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching. This might be your best bet for scooter security although we also recommend hiding an Apple AirTag (or similar) on it so if it does go missing you can track it down. Good luck.

[@jameskrell4392]

Thanks for this, I was unlucky enough to get my Vespa GTS stolen last January. They couldnt get it started but they just cut it up trying to hot wire it. I have a 75th anniversary addition GTS now. I didn’t know there was a specific Vespa alarm, I will be buying one of these.

[@VespaPortland]

Very sorry to hear that. Congrats on getting your new scooter! I also recommend putting an AirTag (or similar) somewhere on the bike to keep track of it. If you wrap it in tape it can’t vibrate and make any noise. Thanks for watching.

[@noahkagan]

This was great. Thank you!

[@VespaPortland]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darcychu9652]

There are over 20 million scooters in Taiwan. The best way to protect your scooter from being stolen is to use two U-shape bike locks to attach your scooter/bike to a roadlamp post or fence pole, or even to your car's anchor.

[@VespaPortland]

Another good way to secure a scooter.

[@tonyd3266]

Thanks for the video. I have the fab but no light install. bought a dealer trade and no manual, so this is all the info I was able to get. what does the F button do ? when I push the lock the blue flashes but nothing seems to happen on the scooter.

[@VespaPortland]

Gotta be really close (within probably 2ft of the scooter) to pop the seat lock. F is function which if I remember correctly is how the alarm gets armed. With no accessories installed there are only two functions on the FOB - seat unlock and light flashing bike finder. I personally didn’t find either useful so I left that FOB in my garage unused.

[@aconcerto17ify]

Great Videos you guys put out 👍… Question ? Where do I order this alarm system? I’m in New Jersey at the Jersey Shore, I have a Vespa primavera sprint 50cc 2022 model .. thank you

[@VespaPortland]

Hey thanks for watching and for the compliment! You can get a piaggio factory alarm via your local dealer. They can order and install it for you. Have fun out there!

[@TheLwaller09]

My new Liberty has this + 9 rounds from my Ruger as theft deterrent. If you make it past that, you deserve to have it ❤️

[@VespaPortland]

Thanks for watching. Pew pew pew!

[@lw835]

Can you program the alarm remote to also open your electric garage door if you have one so I don’t have to have two remotes in my pocket

[@VespaPortland]

Looks like that is not possible on the remote.

[@princegeronimo1601]

great video, can you advise what is the right installation kit (code)for Aprilia sr gt200 sport, thanks

[@VespaPortland]

Sorry we don’t carry the Aprilia brand and don’t have access to their part catalog. Try your local dealer.

[@Christina-tp4mo]

‘Twas not a good idea to watch this with earbuds lol

[@VespaPortland]

Oh whoops. Sorry about your eardrums.

[@Christina-tp4mo]

@@VespaPortland haha it was my bad going into it knowing full well it was an alarm video! 🥴

[@stephant7475]

I would like to know how to abjust the sensitivity to its higher setting. The manual is not that clear.

[@VespaPortland]

Sorry for delay. The manual isn’t great but that’s the only resource unfortunately. Good luck figuring it out.

[@mikerusselljr]

I have it on my gts, but not sure what level the sensitivity is set to, didn’t know that was a thing, the dealer I bought the bike from installed it when I bought the bike, and didn’t really tell me.

[@VespaPortland]

If it’s working fine, hey that’s a good start! Here’s the manual if you’re interested in the other features. The English is definitely an Italian translation so be prepared. English starts on page 11. Thanks for watching! members.modernvespa.net/rp_tech/uploads/piaggio_alarm_manual_93179.pdf

[@donaldlee6760]

I'm curious if stolen Vespa / Piaggio scooters are stolen 1) for parts or 2) planned to replace the immobilizer and keys or lastly 3) don't realize it has an immobilizer and end up abandoning it? If #2 then these thieves are intelligent and have good planning skills.

[@VespaPortland]

A lot of 3. And a lot of 4) just using it as something to trade for other stolen stuff.

[@bravelydecalstv]

Will this work on vespa s125 2023 version?

[@VespaPortland]

Probably but we don’t have that model in the US market. Check with your local dealer.

[@MrManjHussain]

Hi can you install this on piaggio BV 350?

[@VespaPortland]

Yes it can be installed on the BV 350. We just confirmed in the maintenance manual that the connector required for the install does exist on the BV 350.

[@MrManjHussain]

@@VespaPortland Thanks man really appreciate your response & reply 🙏❤️

[@ralphtechnow1426]

Can you please record an alarm install video for my BV350.

[@VespaPortland]

If that situation comes up someday, sure! We don’t move a lot of BVs in our market.

[@ralphtechnow1426]

Had the alarm in my GTS300 installed by my Unkie but thought to DIY this time. What's the p# on alarm and harness/adapter for BV350?

[@sebastianmadera2729]

Hi!!!! I lost all my keys!!!! How can I get another one? Help!!!!!! Vespa gets 300 2014

[@VespaPortland]

Scooterwest.com. Search for key cloning. You or your local shop can remove the ECU and send it to them in San Diego.

[@lanceferraro3781]

I have a different alarm, a Gorilla that pages a fob on my key chain. I had to park mine outside about 50 yards away from my apartment. If the fob went off I was going to intorduce the person to Mr. Lousiville Slugger.

[@VespaPortland]

Sounds good! Thanks for watching.

[@marchallafleming1157]

Can i buy another key phob if I lost it.

[@VespaPortland]

Yes they are available. Contact your local dealer.

[@whitedove3436]

How to adjust the sensitivity?

[@VespaPortland]

The sensitivity adjustment procedure is in the owners manual that comes with the alarm.

[@whitedove3436]

@@VespaPortland i bought this bike used. users manual is missing. 😭

[@VespaPortland]

Bummer. There might be a PDF of it somewhere online. We don’t have any of the alarms at the moment.

[@DJPTEXAS]

Wouldnt have anything to do with all the Police leaving ?

[@VespaPortland]

Maybe? Police aren’t usually around when a theft occurs anyway. Although thankfully with their help we’ve had two stolen scooters recovered in the past few weeks.

[@DJPTEXAS]

@@VespaPortland Lisa's Red GTS250. They broke the steering lock and rolled it about 5 blocks away. Couldn't get it started because of chip. Bar found my registration and called us. Looks like it's totaled though. I'll probably be coming in to get this alarm.

[@VespaPortland]

Bastards. Sorry, guys.

[@KyleHildebrantovo]

Interestingly enough, they looked at my new black 300 first. Saw the red flashing light, then went to hers. I've got handlebar locks on it now too.
