The alarm's seems to keep going of randomly on my car lately,i've noticed it happen when it's been windy,but now it's starting to do so in the middle of the night where there's no wind/rain at all?

Could a cat or something moving alongside/under it set the alarm off?

Wake up at 3am running like a fool trying to get outside to see if the car's ok is getting a bit tiring now.

Anyway to get the alarm less "sensitive" ?

i dont even think the factory alarm has shock sensor... only goes off when someone is trying to open the door, then it will go off. i say get it checked.

yeah... the factory alarm goes off only when you try to open the door.... have it checked... or maybe you have an after market alarm which has a shock sensor... in that case, have it checked also

I just checked my doors while the car was locked but the alarm didnt go off... Is there anyway to make the alarm more sensitive or would I definitely have to go with an aftermarket one?

u have to wait for 30 sec before the alarm will work. just lock ur car and wait for like a min. then try to open it, it should work

Are the lights set to come on with the doors? I don't have mine on, so I don't imagine it would set it off. If they do come on, then the security system is set for intrusion only, meaning an impact.

I have an aftermarket (Autopage) system, and it's fully equipped with all the bells and whistles.

To answer your question - there is no way to set the security system to be more sensitive that I am aware of. It's mostly for theft deterrence, given that it's only set for full intrusion and to stop people from starting it without the chipped key(s).

I'd definitely recommend a full alarm if you're concerned about it. Much more flexible, and much more peace of mind.

What do you mean? Which doors? When I set the alarm the lights blink which tells me that its armed, but i smacked the car with my hand and nothing happened...just a red pulsating hand lol.

The doors you said you checked??? If all you did was hit the car, you're not going to get it to go off - there is no motion/impact AFAIK. It's all about the intrusion - hence the light. When you open the door, the lights come on. The system detects voltage, and goes off.

Trust me - get an aftermarket system installed by a professional.
