The reason I wanted a tilt sensor was mainly to try to prevent wheel theft, though I have also ordered a set of Gorilla locks. I just never understood why GM didn't put a tilt and/or shock sensor on the car at the factory. In my opinion, it really should have one as standard equipment. All the export Corvettes get them, but they don't put them on the US model cars. Makes no sense to me.

awesome job... three cheers for the RainMan!!
hummmm, so i wonder if you might get some cash if you send your idea to a mod company. $20 in parts, i could see them selling for $120
it would be be worth it to me

One other quick little note I'd like to add. When you're hooking this all up and testing it, I'd highly recommend connecting the battery to a charger. I ran mine down nearly flat trying to test it out. It was a four year old battery, so it's not a big deal, but flashing the lights and horn draws more current than you realize.

I'd rather see forum members save the money and do it themselves. Its a very easy mod, and the is no reason to spend a lot of money on it.
My next project will be to see if I can install this $6 dual zone shock sensor.

Just an FYI, the Stinger I have on two cars have became undependable!
I did my own wirings and have always solder my wires.
