2. The siren will emit one long chirp and LCD remote will emit 1 long beep when the buttons on the remote are released (or 1 vibrate, or 1 long beep with vibrate) to indicate entry into shock adjustment mode.

3. The word "SENSOR" on the LCD transmitter above the adjustment indicator bar will flash for the duration of shock adjustment mode. The sensor bar indicator will display the current sensor sensitivity setting. Increased sensitivity is indicated as the bars fill to the right.

4. Increase sensitivity- Press and release the "unlock" icon to increase sensor by one step. The siren and remote will emit 2 chirps for each step increased.

I just wrote that all straight from the manual, to increase it use the "unlock" icon unitl you cant go any further and to decrease it use the "lock" icon.

Hope this helps

I'll give that a try tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

Thanks. I am wondering if its worth it. I like the fact its 2-way, an its 399 installed, which is fine, however, are there any other companies worth looking into?

Something funny for you.

Well damn. I wish I had a manual I'll give that a try tomorrow. Thanks a lot!

yes, that something good to know

Secondly, you can drive away with your alarm armed? So you don't have the start kill hooked up?! And you don't have the ignition wire hooked up?

There is an arm while driving feature, but that automatically bypasses the shock sensor.

What's going on here? You need the have this alarm properly installed. As it stands it's going to do absolutely nothing for security.

Please don't PM/email me with tech questions or requests for recommendations. Use the forum.

If you're wrong and offended at the same time, that's your pride interrupting the learning process.

If the shock sensor is the thing with the two 6" sticks popping out then yes.

But I don't see how the sensor being on the ignition wires would work better. Or could it be that I have a different kind of system?

And I think I gave you the wrong name. I have the Viper 791XV

The black thing with the two sticks is on the windshield. I have no clue about all the other stuff though.

now if you have a 5002 the sensor is built into the brain and the process listed here

1. Press and hold (aux) and the unlock button at the same time for 4 seconds. 2. The siren will emit one long chirp and LCD remote will emit 1 long beep when the buttons on the remote are released (or 1 vibrate, or 1 long beep with vibrate) to indicate entry into shock adjustment mode. 3.

is correct.

And I figured out why the car started with the alarm on. It's because I used the remote start with it on and then put the key in. It beeps twice then runs like normal. I can't start it with the key with it on though.

If you want a better sensor go with the AU94t (DEI unit SUCKS) proximity sensor or a glass-breakage sensor.
All the info you need is already on this site, the quiet ones show understanding and the idiots start
stupid threads that have been answered numerous times over (not directly talking to you).

I know what you mean but I just always thought a car alarm would actually be helpful. I guess if someone runs into my car it will go off so its more of a anti hit and run alarm

A properly installed and adjusted shock sensor is very effective, an improperly installed and/or adjusted impact sensor is ineffective and a PITA.

I will agree with suspendedHatch it is not installed properly, my guess is the remote start was not installed so no ign. input, meaning once a trigger has triggered 3 times in a row it will no longer trigger the alarm until the alarm sees an ign. input.
All indications are that ign. input is not connected.

You get what you pay for.

Nothing is impossible, the impossible takes longer and costs more money.

I am sooooooo happy you pointed all of those reasons out, that was the first thing I thought of when he said i got in my car and started driving (by opening the door and turning the ignition switch) and then it went off, it sounds like the unit wasn't installed properly. The 791xv is an excellent unit, I installed them in 2 of my cars and probably over a hundred into others and they work incredible. Take it back to whoever installed it or to an authorized directed dealer. (Best Buy, Circuit City)

Advanced MECP.

WTYM.

The thing I don't get is they said all they did was turn up the sensitivity, but I did that before I brought it in. I'm thinking there was something they did wrong and just fixed it because now it works fine pretty much.

Only problem now is my battery died because I left my lights on and I had to jump it with the alarm going off and now the remote just says the car is always unlocked when it's actually on. It also does 3 beeps after I push arm or disarm. I'm not sure what its doing but it doens't affect the alarm at all. Still goes off. I'll take it back and see what they think about it.
