DEI 508D Proximity Motion Sensor
Hey everyone,
I was just curious if anyone has installed the DEI 508D Proximity Motion Sensor in a 2011 or 2012 JKU? The ideal location for this sensor to be installed is in the middle of the vehicle, my installer told me there was no room anywhere in the console between the seats so he put it up under the front dash which is not an ideal location at all.
Thanks,
Chris

Its just a sensor that i believe you can integrate with anything. I had a Viper 5901 Alarm / Starter combo installed in my jeep, I then added this sensor and put it in the console box in between the seats.
If someone walks within 1 foot of my jeep, it cherps... if they stay there and keep moving, the alarm goes off. If someone reaches in to my jeep, the alarm goes off straight away.
Over all, im pretty happy with the results so far.

That's exactly what I need! I've got a small sub box in the back, come summer with the top off I don't want someone thinking they can just jump in and take stuff out.

The vehicle I just traded in for my jeep had a $3k sound system in it. My Jeep's stereo will forever be stock so I don't have to worry about it. I'll take the open air of a convertible over some extra bass any day.
With that being said, I may put in the uconnect module so i can get some hands free going

I had one of those before. Whenever we turned the microwave on in the kitchen the alarm system would go off. LOL. Anyway, there should have been plenty of room for it to fit under the console between the shifter and the cup holders.

Re: DEI 508D Proximity Motion Sensor
I went to my very reputable installer the other day and asked about these add on units integrating with the factory alarm. He told me they actually used to install them but had lots of problems with false alarms. Got tired of dealing them and won't touch them anymore. That being said he is entitled to his opinion. I would love to hear from someone who gets one installed in their Jeep.
