Personally I have to disagree with the sensitivity of the sensor. I've found that it has to be major movement of generally large objects. I've tested the sensor with the red clip and it does work. However, I recently had my side window smashed in with glass flying everywhere inside the car and.... Nothing. Not a peep! I once set the alarm and then reached in to grab something off the seat.... Nothing. It only went off when I waved my arm around the center of the car.
