Alarm Sensitivity - can it be changed?

Postby SX2BU » Mon Nov 25, 2013 3:58 pm

Hey guys,
Long story story, i live in an apartment building, with many cars coming and going, the ralliarts alarm (pretty sure its just the stock alarm) is constantly going off.

It's way too sensitive, and goes off if a loud car drives past and It's pretty annoying.

Is there any way i can change the sensitivity of the alarm?

Cheers.

Yes the stock alarm sensor usually is under the center console by the handbrake

I'm pretty sure that it's the factory alarm.

So if i locate it, will there be some type of switch, or button on it which will allow me to lower the sensitivity, or is it something that i might have to take into mitsubishi to get them to program it?

Look for a small square box under your cup holders near your handbrake. It has a fail on the one of the edges which you stick a small screwdriver into and twist

Something else you could try, look in the User Manual under Alarm Operation and you can turn off the internal motion sensor by (I think) holding the wiper/washer stalk in for 3 seconds after you turn the car off. This stops the noise vibrations setting off the alarm and is also good on a hot day if you leave your windows cracked open. It automatically resets next time you start and Stop the car. The alarm will still go off if anyone tries to break-in to the car

the little box in the center console is the tilt sensor.

To adjust your sensors you will need the MMCS or MUTIII communicator

In the original kit installation (with an on/off switch mounted in the glovebox) there are three sensors mounted in the console between the front seats (glass break; tilt and shock). The shock is the rounded blob nearest the drivers seat and has an adjusting screw in the side. Rotate anticlockwise to reduce sensitivity (which was required on installation).

Cheers, Doug
