Adjusting the shock sensor

[akcamaro02]

How do you adjust the shock sensor? I read the factory manual on how to do and it says to adjust a knob on the side of it. I tried this but it didn't adjust the sensitivity at all. Any advice?

Maybe you're turning it the wrong way? I turned mine all the way up and a car driving by would set it off; turned it to about 1/2 way and I think it's good.

It's possible it's defective.

In my experience, ive never seen a shock sensor that was very sensitive.

I had 4 installed in my camaro, and I still wasnt impressed.

Easiest method is to test it by slapping your hand on the window pillar, then adjust it a little more and repeat. Shock sensors are tough to get just right, personally I would rely more on the door switches, and turn it so that it takes quite a whollap to set off the shock sensor (though I always liked it when someone rolled by with their bass going and it set off the alarm, I think deep down they did too).

Do what landj said. Mines at the most sensitive and it goes off fairly easily, though I too wish it were a bit more sensitive.

LOL and I love driving through the parking garage at school and having my exhaust set off car alarms left and right :D

I do that in my motorcycle, fun setting off the alarms on all those high end cars in uptown.
