Some audio cables shield like that.. your local electronics store might have cable like this on the shelf.

okay ive now moved my clifford dual zone prox to the roof, just toward the rear in the hopes of better coverage

so i tried to set it up, how much coverage should i expect for the inner zone?? it seems to like being set at where it senses you near the headunit or steering wheel...i had hoped for a little coverage in the rear/hatch area, is that too much to ask?

what about the outer zone..do they get unreliable if you set it more than a few inches from the glass?

any tips/hints please

Set your inner zone to the maximum right before it picks you up outside the vehicle. I set the warning zone to pick me up If I lean towards the car to look in the window about 1foot away. This way you can walk near it all day long and you will never hear a sound from it unless there is a genuine threat. The more you turn it up the more of a chance of weather and and unsignificant threats setting it off. If you do have the urge to crank it up. Only do it to the warning zone and leave the inner zone set like I told you, so if anything it just honks instead of a full blast, which will also FACT out the prox sensor.

Yes I have one in scirocco, and two in a2 jettas, Mine never false and i mean never. They are not in the roof, although I have put them there in other vehicles before. I find the best placement right in between the seats. Turn it down a beep or two and see what happens. If it still does it you might have a bad sensor. Get a shock/omnisensor to work with your prox sensor for the ultimate protection.

am i expecting too much to want coverage in the rear seat hatch area?? ive got it so if you grab for the wheel /stereo it gets you..but if i reach in toward the rear seat or from the open hatch it doesnt get me clifford dual zone prox set up? - Page 2 -- posted image.

No, you reached the limits, the sensor puts out a circle with a even radius from the sensor being the center of the circle. And it is not a completely exact science, If you turn it up you will make it get more sensitive to the front and sides of the vehicle and probably cause it to go outside the windows, I think you reached the limits. You do have hatch pin hooked up to make the alarm go off if the hatch is opened right. Just thinking that should at least cover somebody going in from the hatch.
