Brava 1100 imobiliser antenna - FIXED
« on: April 22, 2020, 09:14:52 AM »
Learn from my mistake

If your B11 (plus the other CARC bikes I would think) starts to give you random "insert code" messages do not think it's just a random MG message

Mine did it and then decided to refuse to start without a code in the fuel station a couple of miles from home and I could remember it so had to be dragged home on the trailer.

The cause of the problem was the female spade connector below had snapped off the strip of metal that makes a tight contact with the male half





Once I had the replacement it took 10 mins to fix

But the moral of the story is, make sure you know the used code so you don't get stranded :thumb:the

Tris

PS I read on an Aprilia forum that the antenna has a resistance of 14.3 Ohms. Mine read exactly that so a good way to eliminate the coil and look for other connectivity issues

I wrote mine, and the service code and key code, on the base of my seat.

I thought about that, but if some scrot has got a key that works the ignition he has a key that will open the seat and thus reveal the codes  :undecided:
