I have a Crimestopper 2004TW1 alarm with the dual-stage shock sensor on my 96 accord. Anyway, the "first stage" (chirp) of the sensor is set off A LOT, very randomly. So I turned the sensitivity all the way to the (-), just so the 2nd stage (siren) goes off, or so I thought. So I wake up around 2AM hearing my remote beeping me and my car chirping. Correct me if Im wrong, but if the sensitivity is set all the way to (-), shouldn't that mean its disabled? Is my sensor faulty? Its mounted to a bundle of wires under my dash with zip ties. I havent had this problem with any other alarm ive done, any ideas?

not disabled, it should be alot less sensitive. We sell Autopage and it lets you bypass the shock sensor if you are parking in the street or anything like that.

Do you think mine might be defective though? Even if it doesn't disable it, should it go off from things like outside AC units 20 feet away, etc? I have to keep my car outside so I need it to be really unsensitive, it just sucks that I can't use the sensor at all (its currently unhooked). Like if somebody busts my window out and takes my system I won't know the difference...that worries me. I could care less about the chirp/warning function of it, would it be possible to buy one that is just one-stage that would work with my alarm? ------------- 96 Accord EX Coupe 5-Speed

you can always cut the warn away trigger off. But it should work like intended. Who cares about warn away anyway!

Sounds like a plan, thanks for your help!

I thought shock sensors weren't suppose to pick up all glass breaks because the glass is so brittle that the vibrations may not get through the car frame to trigger the shock sensor. That is why DEI has that microphone based glass break sensor.
