If one goes out, it throws multiple things off! I could swear I read that the alarm senses 10 different things...glovebox, etc. That is wonderful when you are trying to deter a thief...but hell when the alarm keeps going off because one out of ten alarm sensors goes bad and you have to determine which one it is!
