I purchased it after buying our 2016 Outback but haven't installed it, yet. Here are the installation instructions to show where it mounts http://techinfo.subaru.com/proxy/79571/pdf/079571-H7150AL000-2015LegObkPerimeterAlarmIxI.pdf. You need the dealer to activate it with heir computer before it'll work.

It basically adds a shock sensor function to the alarm which will set it off if the car is bumped or shaken. The regular alarm only sounds if the doors are opened.

 

CharT, Thanks for that info. Easy to hook up but hard to get to. Not sure I'd try to DIY.

 

I did the install today and it wasn't difficult to follow the instructions, but time consuming. Took me about 1.5 hours working methodically. The only hiccup I had was not realizing this was a nut (Item 1 in attachment) that had to be unscrewed. I pulled it off with a trim tool and damaged it. Other than that, it was a straightforward little project. Unfortunately, I can't test it until I visit the dealer and have them configure it with Subaru Select Monitor.

 

Anyone know how this functions with the starlink system? Say if the vehicle alarm is triggered because someone hits it in the parking lot will you get a notification of this on your phone?

I would also like the answer to this if anyone knows.

 

Curious, anyone believe this is "necessary"? I was going to order it but my sales person just said it's pointless. Though he has talked me out of all accessories I want to buy

 

Waking an old thread. Does anyone have the installation instructions for this sensor they can share?
TIA, -Hirsch
