Has anyone heard of Applicated Security Technologies (AST) Ultrastarters? I'm looking for the best 2 way alarm/autostarter with a very sensetive motion sensor for my GS4.

I need something that will help protect my car from people passing by keying it or steeling my wheels.

Any other suggestions?

WOAH!!! take it easy there.
are you really sure you want a "motion sensor?
those things go off on windy days. you get to many sensors youre gonna have an alarm going off constantly while driving you crazy. i hope you plan out your security system carefully.
by the way, i havent heard of that alarm system that you mentioned.

I have Ultrastarter XP 4500 in my car. It's required some mod before installation. Very nice product. But I have no idea about "motion sensor". I think it's will be very "noisy " setup.

thats the same model alarm i was looking at. Is it about 500 installed? Any issues with it? i maybe getting something similar but it has built in GPS tracking. The dealer is trying to get their hands on it for me to install.

I know the motion sensor is sensative, but i need something to sleep better at night.

how about replacing the motion sensor with a pager?
i dont see how you can sleep better with an alarm goin off often

It looks as though most systems, as this one, now have 2 way pager systems. This one is kind of interesting with it's features. The remote will tell you which sensor goes off, so you may even be able to catch the people making door dings to your car with the impact sensor. (LOL) It pages you when a sensor that goes off (limit is around 3500 ft) and will confirm the starting and arming to the keypad remote. Nice that it can heat/cool the car from the mall and even send you a confirm to let you know.

your alarm seems to be a good system. go for it. just dont make all the sensors too sensitve

Actually, no issues. I use it already for 8 month. I have Crime Stopper FM2006 on my second car. This one has a lot of issues (a lot of miss communication between remote and receiver, like you push one button it's recognize another one). As far as communication range for Ultrastarter it depends a lot on proper antenna location. I have range about 200..300 yards with horizontal antenna location close to the roof.
I did installation myself. I use "keyless" bypass on my both cars. I know a lot of dealers setup key dependent bypass. If you are really care about your car security do not use it.
