    type D: after-market actuators Vehicles without factory power door locks or with single-point central locking only require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used.

    remote adjustable proximity sensor The proximity sensor input circuitry has been improved for G5 so the sensor only has power when the alarm is armed. While driving this protects highly sensitive vehicle electronics (i.e. radar detectors) that can be affected by outside interference. However, this does change the way the sensor is adjusted but will not affect normal operation of the sensor.
