No one knows??
No responses to the inquiry regarding "motion sensors" or "intrusion sensors". 
Someone must know this one! Please inform. Thanks, that is in regard to the '04 C5.

Thanks for trying to respond, my mistake. I have been trying to find out if the '04 C5 has a motion sensor like in the older GM cars, and if so is it adjustable. From what I see of other threads it looks like the C5's do not have this feature, correct??

Try doing a search of the C5 section, you might find some info on it..
Good luck...

Because honestly (this is coming from someone who was on BOTH sides of the security fence - Ex installer, ex repo guy)... If they want it bad enough, it's as good as gone. If they can't take it they'll trash it to hell and back.

Also, I think Vettes are pretty low on the list of cars that get stolen a lot

The wiring on the C5 's start to become a regular maintenence item for dealing with corrosion, shorts and other electrical wiring nuisences. You must constantly check the grounds. Between the PCM, BCM and all the related sensors, throwing an aftermarket alarm on top of this mess is just going to cause you heartache. You could be out relaxing, driving the car instead. Put that alarm in, and you will be on the side of the road somewhere with a car that won't start, because the VATS has locked you out. I agree with Sick ZO6, don't complicate things.

I can break into ANY ZO6 in less than 30 seconds without damaging the car. PM me and I will tell you how it is done, and what to look out for with yours. I'll respond up to 10 PM's only.
