I've got the 508D Dual Zone Proximity Sensor for my Sidewinder 6000ESP. It has 2 screws for adjustment of the zones, then a Factory Adjustment screw. What does it the Fact. Adj. do? I'm asking because I don't like the sensitivity of the sensor. I've got the Zones dialed in perfectly. But the smallest movement triggers the warning zone. I'm not totally sure, but I believe the fog was triggering it this morning. So I don't want to adjust the size of the zones, just the sensitivity of them. Thanks.

the fact. adjusting screw is adjusted from the factory, dont mess with it. as far as the sensor not working the way you like..... i think your gonna be S.O.L. those sensors never work right, sometimes right out of the box they never work right.... i refuse to even sell, let alone install those in customers cars.

Really? That sucks.............I was planning on getting this for my new Viper790xv. Do you know from experience that these sensors never work right? I was thinking it would be cool if you have the 516U voice mod and the 508D field disturbance mod and if someone comes too close to your car it gives them a voice warning.

Well I have one in my personal car and it works great, The problem is that people always have them too sensitive!!! Don't put it so sensitive and you will not have any problems with it... DO NOT ADJUST FACTORY SETTING!! if you adjust that then it really will never work right!!!!!! Good luck.....

As long as you don't have a ton of storms in your area... you should be fine. And even then, your alarm should deactivate the warn after it is set off enough times. I've got it set to go off if anyone gets about 1-2 feet away from it. It's fun when I'm walking out of the mall and I see someone walk by and start looking at my car. They are wondering what the heck is going on. By it at a Good Guys or a place that gives you 60-day money back guarantee. If you don't like it, just take it back.

Hmm if it works fine, then I think it would definitely be a cool thing to have. Especially when people walk by and get too close to the car and it starts talking saying stand back, Viper protected! lol.............does anyone else has any feedback/experience with this? Would you reccomend it? How much did you buy it for? I've seen it online for $40. Thanks.

Hey Ghetto, Have you ever heard or seen the ones where you can record your own voice and say whatever you like? I have seen them for around the same price as the talking viper. They are pretty neat. ------------- Sound Pressure

I hate it when I hit reply and it loses what I typed.... DEI part 508D. Dual Zone proximity sensor. I paid $50 at Good Guys. In fact, I got my whole alarm there, and got it without the install. One of the other local shops wants a copy of my receipt. Apparently they are under contract, they aren't supposed to sell the alarms without installation.

$80 was the cheapest I found so far. https://www.autotechs.com/cat11.htm D.E.I. was talking about $195 uninstalled. Ebay only had the 516u. Hope this helps a little. Oh not to forget to tell you that the 516L has the P.A. feature as well. ------------- Sound Pressure

Thanks, that's a good site. The eBay seller "stereoinstallparts" also has cheap prices, he has the best prices I've seen so far for DEI accessories. So, what alarm system/options do you have ? :)

I got the viper 550esp in all my car and trucks. I got the pager for them as well with battery back ups, double sirens, hood pins, trunk pins, not to mention that I have my toy car locked in the back with a chain and lock bolted to chasis. You can't even lift the trunk a 1/4 inch. No way on cutting the chain with bolt cutters. Green led's on the front headlights. Multi-pattern flasher system on the headlights(the ones that the fire cheif uses)  ------------- Sound Pressure

Recommend you not getting the Voice warn away!! Coming from myself and friends that got there car keyed for no reason, I guess because it was so annoying that it got to people's skin and they just scratch the hell out of my car for no reason , so I took it out, but one thing I got out of it was a brand new candy apple paint job, THANKS to the FOLKS that keyed my car in SAN FRANCISCO, Candy apple BERgendy INTEGRA, get the proximity sensor for the front and rear, great to have!!!!! ------------- THE ROOKIE!~

Damn, that sucks.............if someone did that to my car I would kill them. Hmm, now that is something to think about before getting this I guess. Did you have it set too sensitive? I would prefer the voice to only warn away when someone basically TOUCHES the car hard enough for it to be suspicious. Why do you say the proximity sensor is so great though? Wouldn't that basically piss people off also if they just walk by and it goes off or something? I wanted the proximity and voice together, but now I don't know...........trying to decide.

Proximity just beeps and warns away, I think you would get more piss if it starts cursing and talking to you, well thats just my suggestion, if you want it, then get it! it's different for everyone, try a fuel kill relay, thats another good idea,

It's good if you have a convertable. I wanted it for 2 reasons. Some people had been screwing with my hatch lock. The pushed the lock cylinder in, and my key barely works in it now. I wanted something that would warn those jerks when they got up to it. Too many people have LED's with no alarm. I wanted them to know I meant business. That and I've got T-tops. I want to be able to leave the tops off and not have to worry about my stereo. Someone reaches in my car and it goes off. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!!!!

Yeah, I don't think I would have it set to curse anyway though, just a voice warning......but the PA feature is nice, so I guess I still want the 516L. Fuel kill relay..........where/how can I get that? I want something like starter kill and/or fuel kill that will work even if the alarm brain is disconnected and pulled out from everything. Does the Viper790xv have anything like this, or how can I get it? I want some really good protection, please give suggestions. Thanks.

Install a magnetic reed switch. It is a magnetic activated switch. Hide the switch behind the dash somewhere, under the carpet, in the seat, wherever you want. Car won't start unless you hold a magnet over the switch. Cut the lines somewhere other than the normal places and NO ONE, will be able to start your car.

But then I can't use remote start, and I don't want to have to hold a magnet over a switch everytime before I can turn on my car. I want something (starter kill and maybe fuel kill) that will de-activate when I disarm my alarm and can also be used with remote start, but will still provide protection if the alarm brain is disconnected. Please give suggestions.

connect the starter kill and fuel kill with relays and they both will activate when "armed" and deactivate when you turn your alarm on....

This seems like the best option so far. However would these starter/ign kills still work if the alarm brain is disconnected? That is my main concern........because the 790xv already comes with the failsafe starter kill but that does not work if the brain is disconnected. So is this very difficult to do using relays? How much would it add to the installation time and $ if having it done by a shop? I have also been told by a person who works for DEI that this methiod would drain the battery................: "There is no way to add normally open starter kill to an alarm without the capability. It takes a circuit in the alarm to control it while not killing the battery. If you where to try and "build" a relay setup to do this it would cause a drain on the battery." Is there any way around this? Or what do you guys think or would suggest? Thanks.
