is it still late for me to join?

 

No...we still have a few units ready to ship. Just follow the instructions and we'll get it out to you. Thank you for your interest

 

Can I still get in?

Do I understand correctly: I have a 2005, are these the instructions:
http://boostedconcepts.forumup.org/a...dconcepts.html

I thought it went under the hood, is this a "new" better place to put it?

 

Yes...you can still get in.

As for installation...you can certainly use the hood pin inside the hood but the heat of the engine bay may shorten the life span of the sensor...so....we decided to install them inside the dash.

Now...there...you can get to the door and trunk pin. Some models (03s) drew a lot of current through the door pin which would burn the sensor out real quickly. So....we did the instructions on how to install it using the trunk pin. That is whats on the link you provided and will work just fine. But since you have an 05, technically you can install it on either the hood, door or trunk pin wires.

Good luck and feel free to PM SFLG35 with any other questions.

Thanks

Jason

 

btw, I just notice that this is in FL, but I'm in GA, is it okay? I have an 03 Coupe though? Please PM me with more info.

 

yes thats fine
you are welcome to join in
the shipping department (aka me) is booked up with school tomorrow
so it wont go out till friday

 

can i still get in the GB? where's the best place to install on a 04' Coupe... door or trunk?

 

Sure you can still get in...just follow the paypal instructions.

With an 04...its your choice on whether to install it on any of the pin switches. Our DIY was done on the trunk pin. Like I said, it was the 03s that drew too much current through the door (probably b/c of the dome light). Choice is yours though...

 

Just received. Thanks. I cant believe its a GM part. It appears that the general has found a way to still get my business. I can see why one cant use it underhood. The unit is not sealed at all at the connector or the adjustment screw.

 

I received my shock sensor yesterday so I went by Radio Shack this afternoon to get the two diodes that are required. They don't have any IN4003 diodes, they do have 1N4003 diodes. Are these an accpetable substitute?

Dave

 

yes dave those are the correct ones.
i just hit the wrong key
1N4003 and 1N4004 will work

 

Thanks Dan. What confused me was that I did a search and there are IN4003/IN4004 diodes produced, it's just that RS doesn't carry them.

 

whats the part number and are they still available?

 

are you talking about the shock sensor?
if you are yes i still have some left.
just follow the instructions and i will mail it out on monday.
thanks

 

yes, the shock sensor-is it a dei 504m or 504d and is there a difference between the two? and do i use 1N4003 micro 1 amp diode or the 1N4004 which is a micro 1 amp rectifier diode? saw the difference at radioshack.com, and they are out of the 04's, but the stores may not. the 04 have some reverse technology...finally, is the warranty void if i cut these wires to install?
