Does Toyota put Shock sensors on the stock Alarms?

Would say a 2003 XLE Camry have shock sensors?

No they don't put shock sensors on. They do have a glass breakage sensor as an option.

The 'glass breakage' sensor is in fact a form of a 'shock sensor'!

actually it's a microphone (according to Toyota).

Microphone is correct not vibration sensor. It listens for a specific frequency of sound and is therefore useless if someone is to jack up or tow your car. Vibration or shock sensors feel for vibrations in the body panels, usually via a mercury switch.

I would avoid any alarm that does not have a pager. Alarms go off so often that they are almost part of the background noise in the cities and few people pay attention to them anymore.

Check out some of the posts in the Audio/Video Security forums here on TN. We have some real guru's in that field that can point you to the right equipment.


Good luck.

I would probably check with the dealer. I know you don't have the same year as me, but before my DEI, I had an Alpine stock system that had a shock sensor, the only one I've ever seen in a stock alarm.
