Since day 1, my Viper 330v has been going off at random times, completely undisturbed. I've checked the zone being triggered and it's the shock sensor. I have it cranked all the way down right now to see if that helps. Before, it was right next to being at the lowest setting. I tested by banging on the car and it's nearly numb now.
Is this some kind of a known issue with these alarms? I searched and found some other threads that seem to indicate this is not an isolated issue. If so, what is the fix?

The problem with shock sensors is that they are prone to false alarms, even if setup correctly. How is the shock sensor mounted? Mounting shock sensor is almost an art, and the mount can greatly affect the way the shock sensor performs.

The shock sensor is built into the brain unit. The alarm is mounted in a 2008 Scion xB...

I think I have this one resolved. The shock sensor was trigger happy even though it was set down to the minimum. So I adjusted it to the maximum, tested its sensitivity to determine that I did have it dialed all the way to the minimum before. Sure enough it was super sensitive at max setting. Then I dialed it all the way back down to minimum and I have not had the alarm false yet (knock on wood). It would do it every night at least once a night before. So it's just a buggy shock sensor that was fixed by moving the adjustment dial back and forth. As in my previous post, this appears to be a problem that a lot of these units have.

I´ve 330V alarm in my nissan Xterra. Yesterday, the alarma failed. I could´nt disarm it. The car was blocked, The valet switch doesn´t work.And I had to take out the alarm fuse for to run the car. My dealer says than the alarm lost part of the program and he have to get the information for fix the program. My question is could the module alarm lose the firmware??.
Thanks
