with my alero, the horn beeps on the stock remote when u lock the doors, i had my shock sensor too sensitive and the horn would actually set off the aftermarket alarm, lol check if thats your problem too

okay, i called my installer im going in tomarro and they are going to dissconect my voltage meter for the alarm. then if it quits they will find out whats cuasing it and stop it.

The wind would blow and it would set off my k-9 alarm, just rip that piece of shit out, it aint worth it. Get a viper.

steve-o · 01-28-2007, 09:52 AM

I say just keep it turned down or get a different one and wire it in.

shiny alero · 01-28-2007, 12:03 PM

im highly considering a viper alarm/remote start but its gonna be a while they aint too cheap. this alarm is the biggest piece of shit ever!

IMO, there's no need to get an expensive alarm -- no one's ever going to see it except the blinking lights and remote...

I agree. Personally I don't see the appeal of having a sensitive alarm. If a cat jumps on the hood of your car and sets off your alarm really it doesn't do anything. Cars that have really sensitive alarms IMO are more likely to be vandalized just for causing a loud scene.

shock sensor are designed more for if a window is smashed, the alarm will go off. If you don't want people around your car, you should get a microwave sensor, which can actually tell if somone might be standing to close to your car, which again is designed more for convertables so if someone sticks there hand in the car while the top is down, the alarm will go off..
