Location on the vehicle will not change the measure of angle at any point in time. It's simple geometry. If the angle just changed by 15 degrees, it's 15 degrees in the front, back, and anywhere in between. It does not measure a height difference from the ground. The only place the angle will not change is on the wheel that is still touching the ground.
The real question (for a DEI rep or tech?) is the capability of the 507M to measure angle change in the front to back as well as the side to side (X and Y) axis. Based on the physical design, it would imply that it only detects in one axis (the long way) otherwise the sensor would be a square or + shape.
If this is the case, then 2 sensors would be needed for true tilt protection. One placed front to back, one side to side.
Otherwise the thief can just jack the car up at the middle of the side rocker panel, keeping the front to back angle constant along the center line of the vehicle/sensor, remove the 2 driver side wheels, throw some bricks under it, and repeat with the passenger side.
There is no one that can answer this question unless they have specific proven knowledge of the design and manufacture of this sensor. Sending an email to DEI now...

DEI tech says the tilt sensor is multidirectional and will sense any angle change.
