Default Adjusting alarm

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I want to adjust my alarm so that its not so sensitive, but I know nothing about alarms and didn't install my alarm. The previous owner did. It is Python I believe. Or just my keyless entry thing is. Any help would be much appreciated

Without knowing the make and model of the alarm, [Python has more the 50 alarms] the only advice I can give is general, most DEI alarms use the "Stinger Double Guard impact sensor" about the size of a box of wooden matches, with one 4wire ribbon harness plugged into it and one adjustment "set screw" on the box, turning screw clockwise increases sensitivity and turning it counterclockwise decreases sensitivity, a few degrees of movement can make a big diff.
Some DEI alarms have the impact sensor built-in, and there is an adjustment **** on the main brain. 94

Oh ok. This "magic box" wouldn't happen to be in a specific place or area of the car would it?

Usually around the steering column and such, pull the driver knee panel and look there. Also run along the ignition harness, you're likely to find at least one aftermarket wire there.
