If I were you, I wouldn't replace something just because someone said so...
because you will end up replacing everything in your car eventually. I
recommend mounting a $1-$2 Volt meter(get it from Harbor Freight), plug it
in your cigarette socket. When alarm went off, check the voltage against
the moment you left your car. Good battery should be in between 12V -
12.4V. 11.45V is not a good sign.
I suspect your proximity sensor or a motion sensor maybe tilting due to it
getting hit previously, its wrong position in addition to gravity could
cause your sensor to be extra sensitive. I know my Mercedes has this
motion
sensor because when I lift my front wheel, its alarm went off. So I think
this theory might be associated with your car.
Good luck.
