- OK lefty...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HA HA
-
- that was definitely a good one.
-
- a quick question and answer and info session:
-
- since we are on the topic, exactly how should one set the alarm sensitivity?
- mr Runkle just said that slapping the bumper wasnt a good enough test.
- i know that my car has to be smacked pretty hard in order to set off the alarm.
-
- oh yeah, hey, mr Runkle, did you test that glass breakage sensor by shattering
- one of your back windows? just kidding. i do wonder how all these people
- set their shock sensor sensitivities though. i used the smack the bumper method
- and i mean a good smack. i also parked it by an air force runway with jets
- flying with full afterburners and in a place where trucks go by(in a small town
- while i was on vacation-a safe place)
-
- my personal suggestions:
-
- two shock sensors, one sensor for both front and back is NOT enough. no
- sensor can cover the whole car alone
-
- set them independently, i.e. smack both bumpers soundly until the alarm no
- longer triggers.
-
- a glass breakage sensor is another must
-
- ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS? ideas welcome!
