actually you don't. the male prong comes w/ the wiretap. the wiretap folds and the male prong that comes w/ it slides inside. I got all my stuff from TrackAuto

Successful Shock Sensor Install

Thanks go out to NOVAWhiteTypeS, MR-TL, and Juniorbean.

This weekend, using the instructions posted here, I was able to install the shock sensor I ordered from AutoToys.com. So far it seems to be working great.

I have it set to the most sensitive setting, but it still takes a decent rap or vibration on the car to set it off. It certainly does appear that it's a "shock" sensor and not a motion sensor.
