Default Should I get these options for alarm?

Hey guys. I just had the Viper791xv. I want to know from you guys with this system if I should get the optional glass shock sensor, and tilt sensor. Is it worth it? Or will the stndard shock sensor suffice?

My installer adjusted the sensitivity of the dual stage shock sensor that comes with the viper 791xv. It has nuisance circuitry, and will not give false alarms due to noises in the street. He told me the glass sensor will give off false alarms, and is an unecessary expense. I tested the standard shock sensor by kicking my tires, and tapping my windows, and I will get a series of warning chirps. and the pager will alert of such. I thumped the same areas a little harder, and got the full blast of the alarm. This system is the ish. You are alerted immediately on the pager that your car is being messed with.. Also the factory Alarm is still functional, and kicks in in conjuction to the Viper 791xv. I did not have to use a spare key for the brain of the alarm. DEI has a Lexus/Toyota interface to use with the system. Cost me 50 bucks. My installer used that interface on my car. I can even remote start my car from inside the mall . This system has amazing range. Highly recommended system guys $ 550 installed

Where did you get it, name of the shop, location and guy? Does yours have automatic window up and down. Example: You leave your windows down and then leave the car and activate the alarm. Will it close automatically? Or it does not have that feature? Also, the $550 is with the shock sensor or not?

Thanks!

I personally would just get the tilt sensor. The glass sensor to me is just to guard against vandals. If its a thief breaking into ur car, he would most likely have to open the door NOT crawl in through the window and risk getting cut.
