Default Re: DEI 508D Proximity Motion Sensor

Ive had mine in for a couple weeks. At the beginning, it was pretty touch and go but I suspect it was because of the poor install location. People walking 20 feet in front of the jeep would set it off. I now have it installed in the top storage compartment of the center console box. I wired it to go there, and just stuck it with some double sided tape. This way, nothing else will ever be put on top of it to block it's magical aura. If you put it below the storage box, items you put in the storage could impede it.

Since the relocation, it seems to work how I would expect. If you walk within about one foot of my jeep and hang out there, it will cherp at you. If you stick around and continue to move, the alarm will sound. That is due to the outter proximity zone. Now, the entire reason I bought it is for the inner proximity zone... If you stick your arm in my jeep, through a window or the trunk, the alarm goes off immediately. This one, has worked every time ive tested it. I dont mind if the outter one is a bit flakey, it's the internal one that I truely care about.

I have no doubts that I'll get the odd false alarm with this thing, but that doesn't bother me much. Honestly I don't even always arm it, I just arm it in places where I feel it's necessary like a movie theater parking lot.

Anywho, so far, so good.

Just saw this thread I have my installed under the rear seats on the floor, I had problems at first with false alarms, you even look at it the wrong way and it would go off :) I'm sure my neighbors really appreciated it. Anyways after tweaking with the inner and outer sensor's I have got it the way I like it, I really only arm it in the summer when I have the softy on.
