92 K75 RT alarm removal / bypass

[DavidATL]

I want this gone! The horn blips occasionally when I turn the bike off and this morning started repeatedly going on/off once I was back from an early day ride. Not cool when the kids are sleeping in...

Before I start plowing through wiring diagrams, I thought  I consult the internet. Unfortunately, I found very little info on defeating or removing the system ... so I thought I'd consult the experts. (that would be you folks).

description:
The bike appears to have an OEM alarm unit (dealer installed probably) with a two button remote fob. Not sure if there are multiple versions of the alarm so here is a brief description. This one has two modules. One appears to be a main control module ( labeled BMW on the top) and has a white flat, two x  six (11 pins, one blank) pin connector. The other module is smaller, with a single wire, and is labeled "BMW logicsensor." Unplugging the main unit results in power on / no crank condition (dash lights up, when the start switch is depressed the fuel pump comes on but the starter does not turn).

I'd like to remove the main unit (the body wiring can stay) and jumper pins on the white bodyside connector as needed.

Would someone please point me toward some information related to defeating / removing / bypassing the main alarm control module? Thanks!

Just unplug it at the fuse box connector?

It sounds like you have a alarm for a later model ....but if it's only the starter signal that is via the
imobilizer.....I would have started with a look on the starter relay which you find in the relay box
under the rear end of the tank.
The starter relay is in the rear RHS corner and and have two screw terminals and a white connector
for the signal wires.....follow these signal wires, then I'll guess that it would be obvious which contacts
you have to bridge at the control unit end......or reverse connections to pre alarm mounting.

"Just cut the red wire."

"But they're all red wires!"

Another option would be to find the wire on your alarm that is beeping you horn and cut it.  That way the alarm will become an imobiliser giving you some protection without the horn.

Another option would be to find the wire on your alarm that is beeping you horn and cut it. 

On the first generation OEM alarm it was a built in siren in the main control unit that was activated if the
wires to the horns where cutted.
I would expect that this one also have that function.

Thanks for all the comments. I rummaged through the documentation I have from previous owners and found the alarm installation manual and pinout diagram (attached)

Looks like pin 10 and 12 are an interrupt to the starter relay control. I unplugged connector from the main control box and put a jumper across the bodyside connector pins 10 and 12. The bike starts and operates fine.

Would be Nice With a Picture of main Control unit.  :yes

Main control unit is part number 95 00 5 000 100. See attached pics including TEMPORARY jumper. :-)

The smaller module hard wired into the main control unit is the 'BMW logicsensor" Sounds as if there is liquid in side - a mercury switch perhaps?

Thanks  :clap:

Seems like a universal model...found the price in BMW's system...no info about which models.

Does seem to be a universal module. The body wiring harness is specific to the bike.

I only found two mentions of the control module part number on the net:

where it was installed on a 1994 K1100LT.

I found this link to better installation instructions but the part number for the K-bike harness looks to be wrong:
http://www.ibmwr.org/ktech/alarm-install.shtml

"long harness (part number 95 00 5 000 120)" - per the instruction manual, this is the short harness number. The long number is 95 00 5 000 110 per the installation guide.

The main control module and logic sensor were mounted in the box below the seat on my K75RT.
