I have the Clifford Arrow 5 and want to add a proximity sensor to my existing alarm. Can I just wire it in series with the shock sensor or does it need a separate input (does the Arrow 5 even support this as an input??)

Thanks!

Hmm, it doesn't really say. The wiring guide I found shows that it has a sensor input and a warning sensor input. Not two of each. I'm wondering if maybe it only has 1 sensor input? (I know it also has a sensor with the car's electrical system, because if you open the doors, trunk, or hood)

Can I piggyback (parallel wire) the proxy sensor in with the dual-zone shock sensor (which is using both inputs now). I doubt it would work if I wired in serial.

I hope they are both the same type of circuit (open until tripped).

If only one trips @ a time, then the alarm brain wouldn't be the wiser. If they both tripped, though, should I'd be worried about frying something... ???
