I'm assuming our cars have some type of shock sensor?

I was parked next to a Bling-Bling truck, the bass set the alarm off.

Default we have a motion sensor.

I think it's ultrasonic or something like that. I've only had it set the alarm off once because of a lightning strike nearby. Could be the cause of your problem.

Also, I think people have said that it's been discontinued on later 03 models.

Default My '03 was built on the same day! If you're sure, then my dealer lied to me. I'll test it.

I guess i just need to sit in the car, arm the alarm, wait 20 sec, and wave my arms around like a mad man...8-|

just check your driver's door pocket and see if the button is there for it

Default Yes, I am talking about an internal motion, not the vehicle motion sensor. (more)

I do have the vehicle motion, but '02's also had an internal motion sensor, '03's do not.

I have an internal motion sensor. I didn't know we had anything else, except for incline.
