Hi bro I don't think that's possible since the electronics inside is
totally different. Not sure but maybe you can buy a motion sensor...i
think you mean a shock sensor separately and hook it up together...this is
provided your alarm has an additional input for this

Sound sensor(I presume is a glass tampering sensor) picksup high pitch
frequency.

Motion sensor uses Ir or radiowave to pickup motion of object based on
reflective surface.

I personally dont think you can do such conversion.

Btw, its not very expensive to get a motion sensor these days.

Consult your friendly installer.

...thank ...
actually .. I think motion sensor is more pratical then glass tampering
sensor ... atleast when somebody accidently knock the car or thunder
wouldn't activate alarm sound ....

Actually my view would be different...it will mean that you are exposing
your car window to be broken into ...shock sensor will detect the shock
and alarm goes off...only when the intruder goes in after the glass is
broken or car door is open will the motion sensor go off....

Anyway you have to see what type of alarm...most will sound and not stop
but some will actually only sound once if its a thunder, loud car or
light thud...
