While my car is completely torn apart, I'm taking the opportunity to place my shock sensor for my alarm in a different location.

It was taped down with double sided trim tape to the area beneath the climate control unit. However, you could hit my car fairly hard without the alarm warning you, but my friends' exhaust systems would set it off. I adjusted and adjusted the unit, but never got it to the point where I wanted it.

I've been reading up on placement, and lots of installers recommend placing the sensor on a thick harness(ignition harness, for example) or a piece of the plastic heating duct system, rather than a solid part of the car's chassis.

So I'm wondering, where do all of you with alarms have your shock sensor, and does it perform well in the location that you have it?

ok guyz here the big secret, i install bout 2 a day. the absolute best place to put a shock sensor harness, is to just zip tie it to a main harness. think about it, wires go throughout the whole car and pic up sensitivty reallly easily. call DEI theyll tell you the same thing.

Thats were mine is.. Its perfect.. I think i might turn it up a bit. but its perfect.. Like you pull the handle then let go it will start cherping and it tap the window with some force it does too.. but wind an exhausts... so far hasnt done anything..
