Shock Sensor
How the control module is mounted is the single biggest factor in the performance of the on-board shock sensor. We
recommend two mounting methods: using double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to mount to a trim panel or
an air duct, or wire-tying to a wire harness.
NOTE: In many vehicles, screwing the control module to metal will result in poor sensitivity, especially
on the rear of the vehicle.
If mounting the module where the sensor's adjustment screw cannot be easily reached for adjustment, hook-and-loop
fastening tape (such as Velcro) is recommended for ease of removal for future adjustments.
If the sensor must be temporarily bypassed for any reason, please see pg. 12.

Program Switch
Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well hidden.
It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit
it. The switch fits in a 9/32" hole.
This system has Remote Valet
®
. The user can enter and exit Valet
®
Mode without having to reach the Valet
®
/program
switch. DEI
®
introduced this feature so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use. As long as the
Valet
®
/program switch can be reached to disarm without a transmitter, easy access is not important.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switches are located and
how to disarm the system with it.
Status LED
Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
•
It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if posible.
•
It needs at least 1/2" clearance to the rear.
•
It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or
a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling your 9/32" hole.
•
Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable.
This lets mechanics or other installers remove the panel without cutting
the wires.
