I assume you have to disassemble everything to adjust the sensitivity?

I ended up turning it down to 8 or 9, I couldn’t really tell because I lazily left the module bracket fastened. I’ll update this if we get false alarms.
If you search on youtube you can find glass breaking sounds. I had a glass break simulator I use for work but I lost it. I now use an app on my phone but I have to be right on top of the glass break detector to activate it.
Yeah it’s almost the entire disassembly process. When I went back in I took panels off and left all the connections intact so it was less work. I put each panel on the footwell and layered with towels in between to prevent scratches. The way the module sits, I was able to angle a small screwdriver through this hole to make the adjustments:
I pulled out the bottom vent part and saw the microphone but it was loose so I taped it up.
I tapped the windows with keys and poked on the windows on both sides but still couldn't trigger the alarm LOL

I think I read somewhere, either on another thread or instructions, to make sure your key fob is at least 15 feet away when you test. I left mine really far in the house just in case. Also wait about a minute after alarm is armed
I tried move the mic out more and tap with different keys etc... but nothing seems to trigger the alarm.
I will try to actual sit in the car and play the glassbreak sound byte. Lol
Looks like default setting is working.

I wish the adjustment can be made without taking it apart.
I didn’t lock the door from the inside. I used the remote and waited about a min. I made sure the remote was more than 15ft from the car. I will try again locking from the inside.

EDIT: Are you keeping the key away from vehicle and manually locking the vehicle from the inside to arm alarm?
I purchased through Matt @ OEMVehicleparts and used the 50% off "shipping" code: CLUBLEXUS
Cheapest I could find out there shipped. It showed up today 2-day shipping.
Anyway module is set at "7" on this one and also has a sticker over the connector on module that says "Caution - Adjustment is required to prevent false alarms. Refer to installation manual"
Major snow storm for area right now and family event the following weekend so might be a couple weeks before install. Hopefully I can tune the sensitivity properly. I never wanted a shock sensor type functionality so if I can get this to just work for glass I will be very pleased.
