Is it clockwise to make it more sensitive or counter-clockwise? Thanks

Hey Twentyvee,
Clockwise for MORE sensitivity.

Thanks, adjusted it tonight. I'm not satisfied though, it is cranked all the way and isn't sensitive at all. I literally have to fear breaking a window with my fist in order to get it to go off. It is zip-tied to the steering column tightly, so I figured it would be super sensitive. Any ideas? Iti s a DEI Viper 850XV. Thanks

I was told that you should zip-tie the shock sensor to a big wiring harness the dash. So that way if the car is moved in anyway then the shock sensor is more likely to go off. How you have it, the steering column is like a solid piece that will not move unless either the car is being towed or being ran into by another vehicle.
