How to Adjust the Shock Sensor in a Code Alarm System

I just got the Deluxe Remote Start LCD Code Alarm Security System. When I dropped it off at Circuit City they did not ask me how sensitive I wanted the shock sensor. I got it back and I have the punch the upper valence panel extremly hard to get the car to react. How do I adjust this? I would like to to react if someone tried to key my car, which it doesn't.

Any advise would be nice

Find the shock sensor. and there should be a small set screw that you can adjust on it.

yup but I would recommend getting an external shock sensor for it cause the CA-425 is really tempermental with their shock sensor. now if you really want to make your car go off or do the warn away(keying your car) I would invest in a proximity sensor...

hope this helps,

option is a button on the remote either keypad will do ....
there are two setting on the shock sensor one being "warn away" the other being full trigger (alrarm goes off) i suggest going 4 steps in between settings ar else the alarm will chirp "warn" every few secs if the settings are to close
option toggles you between warn away and full trigger you have to adjust each
sorry not to clarify earlier...
did they not give you a owners manual ?
