Oh and I've bought a spare key £100 but worth it as I hate having only one key for a bike !

Does that include programming it? I asked about a spare smart key and I've forgotten how much they told me, but I seem to recall that the key wasn't that much but it cost a lot more to get it programmed! So I politely declined and settled for a new topbox/emergency key for £7 (+ cutting) instead!

Ta-Daa.... tomorrow August 20th I will collect my TMax :) It's fixed!

I know I should be super pi**ed, but I'm happy I will finally get it! It's such a nice scooter :)

I won't use the connectivity features this time, since no one knows what actually happened. Why it now has taken so long to get it fixed is they didn't know how to install/enable it again after they got the new telematics box. They had to get Vodafones help.

Well well, long story short, 2,5monts at a dealer, best summer months. I enjoyed it with a Xmax 300, which is a fine scoot, but no TMax. I would however recommend an Xmax300 to anyone who is looking for something in that price rance. My only negative of that is that I think the brakes are not very powerful, the Xmax400 had much better brakes.

Let's celebrate a connected scoot future now :)

You aren't exaggerating much....doing it under stress by the roadside would be a farce!
Hahah, I know, I hope I never need to do the procedure, it seems very veery error prone.

Well done that man! Congratulations on your patience and fortitude...and I do like a happy ending. Ahem!

My Mk 2 Max and I are growing old together and, after reading, with great interest, tales such as yours...and you are obviously not alone...I hope to continue with my 'up to a point' understandable electrics, rear chain drive and difficult to match tyres.

I was brought up in a time when you saw smoke emitting from wiring you knew the 'leccy was leaking out. Today there aint no smoke .
Just thinking...maybe it's up in that Cloud I hear them talk about.

Sla'inte.

Well, I'm glad its now fixed, but it has taken far too long. When you say you've lost the best summer months, I guess its a bigger issue in Sweden as I imagine that the winters there mean you can't ride it then, so you've lost a large part of a whole years worth of use (and an unusually hot summer I here as well).
