Has anyone installed the Glass Breakage Sensor accessory themselves? Was looking at installing one and was trying to see if this was something the dealer needed to install or if I could install myself. I found the part number online, but have not been able to locate any install instructions. Part number for the GBS is PT39860111
I was hoping this would be something I could easily plug in or do a slight install without needing to get it done at the dealer. I haven't been able to see any actual pics of what the part is to actually be able to tell.
I was still wanting the same thing. I wanted to install myself since part is only $98 online. I haven't been able to find it anywhere online like all the ones for the other vehicles.
The install is the same from 2010-2018. I just purchased it for about $90 and was going to install it myself since it is only 2 wires and a control box but you have to remove most of the trim pieces on the passenger side including the knee airbag which I am not comfortable with, so I am going to have my dealer install it. I have attached the install doc. I had this installed on my previous 2 GX's at the port, I figure if it stops at least one break-in then it is worth it. I have had a previous car broken into and they broke the passenger glass, what a mess!! Not to mention that it cost me over $1000 to fix and replace the stolen items. The real kicker was that nothing was visible in the car, everything was hidden in the glove compartment or center console as I am very careful to hide everything.
I didn't know there was a separate security horn either. I was inside a customers townhome after I installed my air horns and I managed to hit the panic button on the fob while it was in my pocket. I am thinking "damn, that horn is loud...oh wait that is me"
I installed the GBS but it wouldn’t trigger by tapping the key on the window per the instructions (they recommend setting it on 6). Went back in and adjusted to max (it’s funny they chose 11 as the highest setting) and of course it was way too sensitive. I did it primarily to make sure it was working. 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.
Ordered kit through matt@oemvehicleparts and shipped it was $107.46. I used his 50% off shipping CLUBLEXUS code
