over-sensative alarm??

[Got_boost02]

yeah, so does everyone else's alarm go off when somewhat louder cars and trucks drive past? i can sit in my apartment and hear the damn thing go off about every four cars that pass?? this is getting pretty annoying, maybe its just a piece of shit, and is supposed to be that sensative, but i really dont think so??

Look up under your dash (under steering column) and turn the sensitivity knob down.

Lodivigo-Could you post a pic of where it is exactly? I looked for it the other day and couldn't find it.

yeah adjust it because the more you get annoyed with it, the less likely you are to look out there when it actually goes off.. then the one time it really means something you'll take it for granted.. doh!! let's hope that doesn't happen!!

Got_boost02 i share the same sentiment. if anyone has a snap shot that would be great. dealer told me only they could set the sensativity. so if there is a nob i want to find it....not ready to take my baby to the back to the dealer just yet.

yea the alarm is pretty quick to go off at every lil thing, but i like it that way :cool:

yeah does get annoying having an alarm go off all the time, so its up to u how sensitive u want it to be.

It's a very small white little nubble thing. <-- Technical terms!

You have to move the seat back and get all the way up underneath the steering column inside the car. You'll know it when you see it. It doesn't turn much but that's the sensitivity knob.

mines never gone off...even with a highly modded and VERRRRRY LOUD rx7 rev right next to my parked and armed car.....

:shrug:

Orange arrows point to it.

Look under your steering wheel area and look around the actual steering shaft. There's a black box with a white ziptie around it. That's the brain. Now tap it and a red light should blink. Now you know you've found it. Look at the sides and you will find a white knob. That's how you adjust it.

Glad someone noticed that. :D VERY observant. You'll make a good cop.

Anyway, I just added it in there while I was resizing the image in photoshop. That phrase or one like it is in very image I post here, actually. It's my trademark of sorts. :D The others just aren't as obvious.

I've decided I like it too...that way when I come back & it tells me the alarm has gone off, I know what happened while I was gone.
