I was wanting to know how to adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor on my Viper 550 esp security system, does anyone know how?

Thank You

What about if you turn the screw, and tap it ? and responce there ? I remember I had to wait like 10 seconds in between tests. I think the best solution is mounting it in a better spot. The spot you picked might not get a lot of vibration. Also, if you used a double stick pad to mount it - not good - the pad absorbs vibration. You must secure it with zip ties or screws directly to something solid with nothing around it to absorb vibration. For example - if you put in on your seat and hit the seat, it wouldn't detect vibration, the seat absorbs it. Find some solid metal connected to the frame.

I will try to get a pic of how mine is adjusted but I don't think it will matter because 1 it's a different car & 2 if I had put it in a diffeent location it probably would be adjusted differently.

Also, it might react differently if it is mounted face up or on it's side, I don't know.

My best guess right now, try a different spot.
good luck
