Anyone know anything about alarms?

How would I bring the sensitivity up?

Or should I just bring it back and have the place do it. Im kinda lazy though

Most have an adjustable screw or **** on the shock sensor that you can turn to adjust sensitivity.A few can be adjusted by the remote.Chances are,check the shock sensor first.Clockwise-more sensitive. Counterclockwise-less sensitive.

Its a Alpine if that helps

ALL i see is a screw in it. And its REALLY tight, just looks like the screw is holding it up.

I've never installed an Alpine alarm, but I'm pretty sure that you adjust their shock sensors with a complex procedure involving the valet button and the remote control.

Unless your manual tells you how to do it, bring it back to the installer.

Inside the brain there should be some dip switches...there'll be instructions inside telling you how to adjust the sensitivity. If it's an aftermarket shock sensor, the adjustment will be with a screw in the unit itself. To adjust the radar, you have to use the valet switch and the remote, but that varies by model. Hope I helped-
