Let me start by acknowledging Amazon for providing such a deal on the sensor. The manufacturer sells this sensor at $90. I was able to add three additional sensors (radar, tilt, glass) to my system for less than the price of one.

After installing the sensor, I attempted to jack up the vehicle. It sounded the full alarm before a wheel lifted from the ground. Great addition to my Python 872 security system.

I added this sensor to the Viper 5902 in my '90 Jetta. As stated in other reviews, it works perfectly! I tried jacking the car up, and before the tire left the ground, the alarm was in full panic mode. Just don't cut the option wires; the factory settings are perfect, IMO. The fact that the unit resets it's horizontal plane every time the ignition is cut off is what makes this unit so versatile. Highly recommended.

This sensor was very simple to install. The color coded wires make this fool-proof. After mounting, I tried to "steal" my own wheels, and set the alarm off long before I could jack up the car high enough to remove any wheel. I'm very happy to have this sensor.

Works great. Only problem is that I had to put in a toggle switch to bypass when I park at work. something would trigger the sensor about 30 seconds after arming the alarm. The toggle fixed the problem.

Bought this sensor and a Viper 350 responder alarm, installed carefully on my car, always metering every line at the car's harness that goes to the alarm. (I've seek on Internet to get a guide on my specific cars harness) I installed the sensor as the manual states: "facing upward" it is recomended to be installed on the floor because it needs to be horizontal mounted, but instead I used the 2 sided tape and sticked on a plane surface near to the radio. After the full installation, I make a test, arm the alarm and beging raising the car with it jack... surprise!! it's true! it detects tilting before wheel get in the air!! wow! it's a great addition to the alarm an therefore a great peace of mind if you have great wheels & rims!!!

It isn't necesary to get a DEI alarm to use this sensor, it use 3 wires: blue, orange, red. the blue goes conected to any 'instant trigger' of your alarm, the red to constant positive(+), and the orange connected to a Ground-when-armed (-) wire. If your alarm doesn't have it, make it through the use of a universal relay.

The relays have these numbers marked on it:
* Connect pin 85 to Ground(-) & pin 86 to ignition wire(+)
(check polarity on relay if it have a diode) these are the coil's pins.

* Conect pin 30 to ground(-) & conect orange (from sensor) to pin 87a

There's a lot of ways of make a ground-when-armed(-) line. All it have to do it's cut the line orange(-) when you put your keys on ignition. The sensor will reset to the last position plane when you turn the engine off from ignition switch, then this is when the sensor will be on.

I installed this as an addition to a Python 991 system. The sensor was simple to install and the color-coded wires and instructions were clear. For the price, this is a lot of additional protection for the money.

required hooked up easy with any dei product..if you get paged for trying to still your own wheels of if someone wants to use your car as a seat you will be notified asap. tilts personaly is more important then impact

This item is easily installed onto any DEI alarm system. Works well and is a good layer of added security.

You can use a jack on any wheel and start jacking, before the tires leave the ground the full alarm will go off. You should mount it in the center of car underneath. Excellent product

This little add-on is a great buy if you dont want to set your shock sensor too sensitive and still have great protection for your wheels!
