HRR Alarm add on a Level sensor

I have been thinking about putting a sensor of level in my hhr in order to protect the wheels, but not if it is possible to be added to the alarm or it is necessary to install another one aftermarket alarm?
somebody that can help me?

If you are looking for a sensor that will set off an alarm if your vehicle is jacked up to a certain tilt angle, then you will have to go after market for now. GM only has that sensor available on the C/K trucks at this time.

In Texas the thieves use 4 jacks and jack all for corners up at the same time to defeat that sensor. It's like watching a nascar pit stop in quad.

why not install locking lug nuts? not 100% thief proof but may help. I would think you could buy them in Sweden someplace, car dealer or parts store.

Alarm module is in the dash. I would go with the locking lug nut suggestion. Possibly by August there may be an add-on for the factory alarm system for the HHR. GM hasn't realized yet that people are putting expensive wheels on their HHRs and would like to protect them.

And your english is better then a lot of the people I work with!

No...in Texas they just slide bricks under then axles, then let the air out of the tires....they come off easily then without even coming close to setting the digital tilt sensor off.
