Adding a 2 stage shock sensor, question.

Hey, I'm going to add a shock sensor to my stock keyless / security system. I found this great link in the How To's:
http://www.vqpower.com/v2/modules.ph...howpage&pid=13

But, the sensor that I'm going to install is a 2 stage sensor that includes a warn away trigger. Since it has this feature, the sensor has 2 trigger wires, one for stage 1, and another one for stage 2. The FAQ link says to attach the trigger wire to the yellow / black from the BCM, but since I have two trigger wires on my sensor, what should I do here? Should I tie both stage 1 and 2 into the yellow / black, or is there a different wire to which I should solder the stage 1 trigger?

Sorry for the noob question, and thanks for any help!

Just pick one wire,which ever one you want,the stage 1 is like more sentitive,it'll trigger the alarm with the shock of less then .8 or .08 or less of of the second,and the stage two was .8 or .08 of a second or more,just try it out to your taste and see which one you like better,but not two together.Hope this help.

use the second stage, and just adjust the shock sensor as needed.

If you unlock the car with the key....it'll disarm the alarm...you have to unlock it from the inside lock. Also make sure that your stock alarm is arming.....once you lock all the doors (the doors, hood, and trunk must be closed)...lock the car, and see if the security light stays on solid for 30 seconds....after that 30 secs is up....then the stock system is armed.

There is also a security/theft fuse under the hood that'll stop the alarm from sounding if its blown.
