Alarm sensitivity

I have Mercedes E300 TD (W210) AMG and I would like you to ask you for help.
There is built-in alarm but ist sensitivity is so low that it is not reacting at all.
Is it possible to increase its sensitivity? If yes, how please.
Thanks for your help in advance.

The 210 factory alarm in the US only has a Tow Sensor along with the open door hood and trunk feature..No Adjustments can be done

When you are trying to open the door on locked car or you can sit on the hood and nothing is happening.

Mercedes Factory alarm only detects Motion from jacking the car up or tow away

It Will NOT detect a minor bump or someone sitting on the car

If you would like to test it. Roll down your drives window and alarm the car. Wait 60 seconds and reach your hand in and open the door from inside. It should start screaming.
