Can anybody tell me how to turn up the sensitivity on said alarm. My installer is telling me it is done with the remote. Can not find any info to support his claim.

That info is for units that have a internal shock sensor yours is external and done on the shock sensor itself.
Adjusting the Doubleguard Shock Sensor
Important! Make sure the vehicle is disarmed. The Shock Sensor sensitivity can be adjusted by using a trimmer
tool/screwdriver to turn the trimpot (trimmer potentiometer).
Trimpot
504D Doubleguard Shock Sensor
Adjusting the sensor:
1. Make sure the ignition is OFF and the system is disarmed.
2. With the sensor mounted in its permanent location, locate the trimpot on the shock sensor module and
using a trimmer tool/screwdriver:
• Turn the potentiometer clockwise for increased sensitivity or
• Turn it counterclockwise for decreased sensitivity
Note: You can test the new setting by cautiously impacting the vehicle with increasing intensity while noting
the LED status on the shock sensor. The LED turns on for a short duration for small impacts before turning
off (indicating a Warn-Away trigger). The impact level required to fully trigger the alarm is indicated
when the LED remains on for a longer duration before turning off.
Note: The Shock Sensor adjustment cannot be performed using the remote control or the Bitwriter.

Thanks, I found it. The case of the sensor is a clear plastic. There is an orange actuator mounted to the potentiometer. There is a hole in the case so you can easily access the control.
Spent a lot of time looking through manuals for this remote adjustment procedure. Once I aborted that and decided to check the sensor, 3 minutes later I was done.
