Can I turn off motion sensor permanently.
It seems the wind blowing the Mcdonalds bags sets it off.

there should be a button located on the b pillar (where the seat belt is harnessed to) but down low a few inched above the carpet

I have found that you have to do that every time. I am hoping to disable it forever.

Take apart the b pillar and put some black electrical tape over the sensor??

I was so busy thinking of reprograming the computor I guess I didn't think of the easy way.
Thanks.

As in it registers changes in air pressure (like opening a door). I personally know that if you leave the sunroof open, the wind can set off the alarm. This couldn't happen if it was a motion sensor. Don't know what the effect of putting tape over the sensor would have.

Mine was disconnected forever. I got the dealer to fix it. pull out the switvh and unplug the wire.

It's ultrasonic, as in it uses sound waves to detect movement through the window openings. I physical object must be fairly large to set it off (a hand won't do it, but try to pull your gym bag or breif case out, or stick your head in and BAM it goes off). Wind apparently either sets up some sore of harmonic that sets off the sensor or moves enough air around to trick it into thinking something is in there. Moving aournd inside the vehicle won't do a thing...only moving through the window openings.
