Just back off the proximity sensor a tiny bit. That sets the "radar field" that causes it to go off when people reach into the vehicle. It won't hurt the capabilities of the alarm, just make it not quite so sensitive.

Take it to any car audio shop they should know how to adjust it.I drive a repo truck it only takes 30 sec to lift a car and drive off.And i can't count how many i took at 3am with the alarm screaming no one ever looks out.I'm honest but doesn't mean everyone is.

The only thing more annoying than bass shaking the windows in my house is a idiot neighbor with a car alarm that goes off all the time. I wish the cops would ticket it for it more.
Don't activate it. Problem solved. Instead, add an ignition cut off switch or other method to keep the car in it's spot over night.

It should look something like this:

Look in the console area, possibly push up on the headliner feeling for a bulge behind it. They will generally be in a central location...
