Anyone add a tilt/motion sensor to the factory alarm?
After having my wheels and tires stolen I was doing some research and found that Audi actually have tilt & motion sensors on non USA cars as standard. I guess crime does not happen in the USA, go figure. I found a company called Enfig Car Stereo in New Jersey to do the tilt sensor install but I wanted to see if anyone else had this done and to possibly recommend a company. When I googled this quite a few guys had this done to their A6's but I don't see any Q7's. I have wheel locks now and will be moving in two weeks and my car will be garage kept but I was still interested in having this done. It looks like this shop does a lot of iPod adapter installs but not alot of tilt sensors and it would be just my luck that I end up being the test vehicle with issues.

I got a Cobra cat 5 tracker with it (EU). Its so sensative that I get a text telling me my car has made an unauthorised movement if passengers get in before I approach with the (alarm) remote in my pocket. Perhaps lojack have a version.
Even if its possible to upgrade the Audi alarm it will not be as good as it will not alert an independant operator.
I found the decrease in my insurance premium was about half the running cost.
