Warn Away sound Viper 791

I was wondering how to make my alarm send the warn away sound and not just the full alarm on every trigger. Do I need another sensor or is there a setting I need to change???lilwayne

So the Stinger Doubleguard shock sensor it came with controls the warn away sound, I always get a full trigger no warning. I thought maybe I needed another type of sensor???lilwayne

sounds like every impact is setting it to full trigger, turn down the sensitivity.MECP certified installer

Is there a better/more accurate way to tune the sensitivity of either zone, than trial and error? such as knocking the car or kicking the tires? I would like to know. Thanks.

nope, just adjust it so that a light tap triggers warn away and a good thump triggers full alarm,  shouldn't take more than about 5 minutes to get a good blend...Kevin Gerry

what can we use for a light tap and a good thump? Do we need a rubber mallot to hit the tires or something? Sorry I am asking because I do not know. Doing this process for the first time/car.   

use an open palm hit anywhere on the car for a "light tap"  and a closed fist pound for a "good thump".  i try to set shock sensors up to where an impact similar to that of being hit by a car door, triggers the warn away. you dont want a full trigger in the parking lot any time some one bumps the car with a purse or whatever.  a hard hit would be a good smack on the glass.  i test from the top of the rear glass, rear fenders, and tail lights/center of trunk.MECP certified installer

So what is the best place to put the shock sensor? I still either get the full alarm or nothing at all. I have mine mounted with velcro under the dash.lilwayne

i wouldnt let my cars security rely on velcro... i know some owners books say to use it but they dont want you do use screws.  the bes thing to do is pick a sturdy factory wire harness and put a zip tie around it.  ive seen some installers use good black tape and go around it a few times but that makes it hard to move.MECP certified installer
