Where is your shock sensor adjustment knob located? Mine was attached to the steering column (and you really had to slam on the car to get it to go off), however, Compustar advised me that it should be zip tied to either the Compustar wire harness or other suitable wire harness ie. main ignition harness. I believe that attaching it to a wire harness will make it so damn sensitive that it will have false reads constantly.

Thanks!

 

you could go that route...but all professional install places and instructions say to mount it on the steering column....if you mount it on the harness you will have what they call a sweet spot where it will be sensitive but other places will be watevers.....if you want i think its possible to get a digital shock sensor instead of a analog one...i know the have digital tilt sensors and stuff shoudl be the same for shocks sensors but i know what you mean the compustars my friend has is the same problem.....

 

Mine is mounted to firewall on inside. Works great there. I have a second one on the steering column DEI for the factory alarm, works great there too. Just adjust it and I use doubleside stick tape and then wire tie it down tight. Then adjust and it should work well. Remember when someone hits or tows your car it will set it off sometimes you punching the wheel or panel is a cushioned blow and not the same thing.

 

i personallly prefer a proximity sensor to a shock sensor.....where i live kids sometimes like to lean or sit on cars and this will detect there presence and start with warning chirps b4 sounding the full alarm.....usally cars that have false alarms alot will get no attention after a while and wont that defeat the purpose of the alarm....theres a car on my block with that problem and im praying someone will steal it so i can get some sleep on nites where the rain sets it off or the cars with the throaty mufflers come by.
