I need an alarm for my car. Should I get the clifford 50.5x? Is this alarm any good? I dont think Ive seen a lot of ppl with this alarm

 

Many people on this site use that alarm including myself. It's a great unit!

Which Alarm Should I Buy?

 

One of the best alarm out there. Only if its installed right.

 

Just got this alarm installed today, is there anyway for me to adjust the sensitivity?

 

Which sensor do you want to adjust the sensitivity on? Did you have any other sensors added aside from the factory included shock sensor?

 

i didnt get any extra sensors added. I want to adjust the shock sensors that came with the clifford to make it more sensitive. I've been shaking my car, and the alarm doesnt go off.

 

There is a screw/**** on the shock sensor that you have to turn to adjust sensitivity.

 

how many shock sensors are there. I think I found one (its a little black box with a white ****) and which way to I turn it to make it more sensitive?

 

There is only one, sounds like you found it. I believe turning it clockwise will increases the sensitivity. Should be pretty easy to test.

 

i turned the **** all the way in the clock wise direction, now when i tap the hood, it doesnt give off that warning beep, instead the alarm just triggers. but if i shake my car nothing happens. how do i fix that

 

Where is the sensor mounted? That sounds like the problem.

 

its mounted under my dash (drivers side)

 

How is it mounted (IE:screws, zipties, tape) and to what exactly (IE: steering rack, firewall, metal support bracket)?

 

Im pretty sure its mounted through zipties by the firewall

 

I have no clue what you mean. You will have to take pictures if you cannot describe it accurately enough. Sorry

 

On the drivers side, where your gas pedal and brake is, if you look up on the left side, thats where my "brain" and shock sensor is located. It's like right in front of the firewall.

 

Where did you get the install done?

 

shop called speed zone

 

Two things, you have turned the sensitivity up way too high, it is an impact sensor, not a motion sensor, shacking/rocking the car should not trigger the alarm, [full alarm or warn a way].

Turn the sensor down to where it was, then adjust it up a little bit, arm the alarm and supply shock to the car, hit the "A" or "B" pillars.
The sensitivity is correct when you can kick the tire hard and nothing more then the warn a way mode is triggered but if you crack a lug nut free it will trigger full alarming mode. 94

 

what does hit the "a" or "b" pillars mean? And also, i originally had the honda remote door unlock, i was messing with it at first and didnt think it will still unlock/lock my doors, but it still does. Is it bad to use my clifford and sometimes my honda remote

 

I wouldn't expect so much from a shock sensor. If it doesn't go off when a motorcycle drives by, it's doing it's job as intended. They're great if someone is stealing your car with a bulldozer. I remove them on my cars and use more effective sensors in their place.

 

lol. What kind of sensors are you using? And what do you think about cliffords proximity sensors? Should I get em?

You really need to check out the stickys bro, and try using the search feature. This has all been covered before.

[HOW-TO:] Car Security

DEI proximity sensors are not that great, we recommend the Crimstopper AU94TM.
