K, i read all the posts of how to install a shock sensor. and only shows where to buy them on the net. now, does anyone know where i can get them in a store? I have this thing, that i have to get things done right away or i dont do it. so, since i want to install one, i need to go and buy one now. if anyone knows a place, let me know. and if you know a specific store in so cal, would be even better.

 

Dude, just get it from the net. My shock and glass break sensor came in a day.

 

Agreed... I got mine from autotoys.com and it came within a couple of days..... Cost was under $20 with shipping....

 

What's the purpose of a shock sensor? How much it costs?

 

I purchased my DEI 504D shock sensor from www.autotechs.com.
Cost was about $20 and it works great don't know why novawhite said not to use DEI senors.

Using the following instructions installation was a breeze.

I ordered the 507T glass breakage sensor yesterday for a little added protection.

 

The stock alarm does not come with a shock sensor, therefore, adding one is just extra security. I mainly installed it b/c of the rash of headlight thefts about 6 months ago. Now, if you knock the car hard enough, the alarm goes off. The stock alarm w/o the sensor only goes off if the car is being stolen. Basically someone can break the glass, get in your car, and steal stuff and the factory alarm wouldn't go off. As for the price, see my post above... under $20....

 

Thanks juniorbean, it completely changed the way I thought about shock sensor. I thought it was something related to the suspension or shock absorber....
