Default Touchy Alarm

My alarm on my Camaro is "touchy" you could say. I press unlock, get what i need, then lock it back up. Then the alarm goes off. Anyone else have the same problem?

there should be a sensor under the dash that may have a sensetivity adjustment on it.

Stock alarm? I thought the sensor was above the passenger rear wheel well...

The factory one is above the passenger rear wheel well, and i notice that if you nudge that just slightly it blinks like crazy, i guess check and make sure its secure maybe? Im just theorizing here but that thing seems real finnicky.

Can it be "adjusted" or no?

I was thinking it was after market. I am unsure of the adjustment on a stock alarm.. you can always contact the dealership or try looking in your manual.

From the manual:
The shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it
detects a blow to your vehicle. It is located over the
right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch
area. There are two levels of alarms via the shock
sensor. Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for
non
-threatening blows to the vehicle and a full
two
-minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its
sensitivity can be adjusted if more or less sensitivity is
desired. If sensitivity is increased too much, it may give
false alarms caused by gusts of wind or other natural
events that may shake the vehicle.
To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
**** and adjust as desired. Turn the **** clockwise to
increase sensitivity and counterclockwise to decrease
sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored by the alarm
system when the ignition is on, when the hatch is open,
when the alarm is disarmed, when customized to be
ignored and for five seconds after the horn sounds an
alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is ignored after
triggering three full alarms until the system is rearmed.
