How to turn off the car after autostarting the engine using the Starline A93 (A91) key fob

Installing a security system allows you to introduce additional functions that simplify the operation of the car. The user can force start the power unit or turn off the car from the Starline A93 key fob after autostart. Alarms also allow you to control the operation of the power unit using SMS messages or a mobile application installed on a smartphone.

Preparing for launch

Preparation for automatic engine start using the Starline A93 complex involves programming the operating mode (using the remote control). Additionally, a number of actions are performed to ensure that there is no kinematic connection between the motor flywheel and the drive axles. The machine is installed in a ventilated area in accordance with the recommendations given in the technical documentation for the alarm.

Engine with manual transmission

On vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the shift lever must be in neutral position. The method of neutral installation depends on the programming of the complex’s processor unit. The final result of the algorithm is to turn off the transmission, which will ensure the safety of Starline autorun.

Supported primary programming techniques:

• tighten the parking brake lever and then turn off the ignition (automatic algorithm);
• turn on the brake, and then press the button located on the remote control (without unlocking the doors);
• activate the handbrake (simplified algorithm).

After completing the first stage of preparation for the automatic start of the car engine, you should remove the key from the lock and then leave the car. The engine will either stall when the door is closed, or continue to operate in turbo timer mode (depending on the setting). Then the owner turns on the security mode of the Starline 93 alarm.

Engine with automatic transmission

Cars with an automatic transmission are prepared for automatic start according to the following algorithm:

1. Stop the car and secure the brakes with the parking gear.
2. Set the gearbox control lever to the parking position.
3. Leave the cabin and then close the locks using the remote control.

Work through the application (android/iphone)

If the alarm system is equipped with a GSM module, then it is possible to start the car from your phone. The procedure is as follows:

• Make sure you have a gsm module.
• Install the SIM card into the slot located on the alarm.
• Top up your SIM card balance and switch it to GPRS mode (via the Internet, in your operator’s personal account).
• Register on the alarm manufacturer's website, enter the unique alarm/gps module numbers.
• Download the starline application via google-play or app-store.
• Install the application on your phone.
• Enter the necessary data about the alarm and the number of the SIM card installed in the gsm module.
• A link will be sent to your e-mail, following which you will complete the registration process.
• Go to the application, select the necessary functions, by clicking on them you can arm or disarm the car, start/stop the engine, etc.

How to start a car with a Starline key fob

To start the power unit using the key fob of the A93 or E91 complex, you will need to press and hold down the first button (used for arming). The remote control buzzer will sound a melodious sound 2 times, external lamps on the machine will work, and a siren will sound. The key fob will play the melody again and activate a text notification on the display. After the power plant starts operating, the display shows the remaining time (preset) and an icon simulating exhaust gases is active.

On the A91 complex, equipped with a 3-button remote control, you need to press the security button for a few seconds, and then briefly press the button with the asterisk sign. The status signal diode included in the design will switch to constant operation mode, and a text message will be displayed on the panel display notifying that the motor shaft is cranked by the starter.

Using an additional key fob

You can start the car from the A93 or E91 alarm remote control, which is not equipped with a display, by pressing the security activation button (holding the key for 2-3 seconds). The further algorithm does not differ from the method using a remote control with a screen. If the main key fob is in the signal reception area, then the display will display an icon indicating that the power unit is running. On the A91 complex, it is impossible to start the engine using the auxiliary control panel.

Through the key fob tag

You can start the car using the key fob after programming the complex in Slave mode. An additional key fob is used as a tag; the function is available for alarms that can work with the standard vehicle system (A93 or E91). After a short press on the security button (while pressing the small key located on the other edge of the case), the red diode turns on, transferring the tag to the standard operating mode. The engine is then started by long pressing the button.

Using a mobile call

The user can start and stop the motor using a voice message, which is sent to a separate unit in the alarm. The number recorded in the module is registered on the website of the security system manufacturer.

The user connects to the alarm and then selects the required command from a list dictated by the answering machine.

The command is pronounced by voice or activated by buttons on the phone keypad.

Via SMS message

Starting the engine from the key fob is performed only within the range of the remote control. To control the operation of the motor over long distances, a special add-on module is used, installed in the alarm processor unit. Inside the device there is a mobile operator card with a separate number; to start using the equipment you need to register on the manufacturer’s website.

After pairing the alarm system with the owner’s cell phone, it becomes possible to control the complex using commands sent as SMS. The user starts the motor from a distance, extends operation or stops the unit. It is also possible to receive a report on the status of the complex or the battery charge level.

Using the app

To start the engine through an application installed on a smartphone, you will need:

1. Install an additional expansion unit with a slot for a mobile operator card.
2. Activate the installed equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. The tariff plan of the number used in signaling must support data transmission via the GPRS protocol.
3. Register the equipment on the manufacturer’s website, and then download the application distribution kit to your smartphone.
4. Pre-pair the smartphone and the security system by entering information about the type of system into the application menu and programming the number of the SIM card installed in the processor unit.
5. After registration is completed (accompanied by an additional email sent to the car owner's email), access to the alarm settings appears. The menu is used to start or stop the engine, track the vehicle's position or control the speed of movement.

SMS commands and voice control

The disadvantage of this method is that in areas with an unstable Internet channel from a cellular operator whose SIM card is installed in the alarm, problems with starting the engine are possible. Therefore, use the more reliable capabilities of the standard GSM channel - by calling or SMS to the phone number of the alarm SIM card.

When you call, the answering machine will work, which will first ask you to enter the PIN code specified when setting up the GSM module from the keyboard (if the call is not made from the main phone). After this, a greeting will sound and an invitation to dial the command code. If you have forgotten the code for the one you need, then press 0 – the robot will list all available commands.

To start the motor, use two commands - 21 and 26. In the first case, the robot will report the success of the start and remain on the line to receive subsequent commands; in the second, after the report, the call will be automatically dropped. The second option makes it possible to use the phone as a control panel by writing the start command in the directory as a telephone number in the format +7ХХХХХХХХХр26 and selecting this entry in the directory or entering it in the speed dial menu.

To turn off the engine, use command 20 in the same way.

Please note that by default, autorun control is available only from the number that is set as M1 in the settings. If you intend to use an additional phone (of another family member), which is set in the settings as M2, then first activate extended access for it using the SMS command 009401.

The launch is controlled via SMS; for this, a command in the appropriate format is sent to the alarm SIM card number:

• For the owner’s main phone: directly specify the command code (21 for starting, 20 for silencing).
• For the M2 phone, if control is allowed: in the format XX00YYYY, where XX is the command code, 00 is the required separator, YYYY is the pin code.

In sixth-generation systems, the syntax of SMS commands has been expanded: to control autorun, use digital and symbolic codes.

• engine start: ENGINE+, D+, D+
• engine shutdown: ENGINE-, D-, D-

Video: How to start and stop a car engine using the STARLINE A94, A90, E90 key fob.

How to turn off the engine

On the Starline A93 system, it is possible to turn off the engine from the key fob by holding the arming button for a long time, after which you should briefly press the key with the circle symbol. The car will flash the external alarm lamps 4 times, and then the engine will stop. The indicators of the operating power unit on the control panel will go out, and a melodic signal will also sound. On the auxiliary remote control, to stop, sequential action is applied to the security control button and the small-sized button located next to it.

To turn off the engine on the Starline A91 model using the key fob, you will need to press the disarm button for a long time, and then briefly press the button with the star icon. After sending signals, similar to the A93 complex, the engine will turn off. An auxiliary remote control without a display does not allow you to turn off the power plant.

Briefly about alarms

The Starline A93 car alarm is a new product for 2014, which has a good reliability indicator and an acceptable cost for most car owners. It works remotely from the control key fob, where you can configure various useful options and functions.

This model has a built-in power relay designed to control light signals and central locking. The control key fob has a shock-resistant mechanism and a built-in antenna. The following options have been added to the general alarm functionality:

• 2CAN;
• LIN modules;
• GSM modem;
• GPS module.

This protection system has intelligent autorun and a dialog code that cannot be scanned. Let's take a closer look at which buttons to press to make the settings.

Causes of problems

If the car does not turn off when you press the remote control button, you need to check the condition of the battery. The problem occurs when electronic components are damaged or when using a key fob that is not registered in the complex’s memory. Identical problems occur when operating Starline A91 equipment, which has a similar design. A backup remote control is used to stop the engine. It is allowed to open a running car with a standard key; the security is disabled by entering an emergency code (without a remote control).

If the car starts up and then stalls after some time, then the functionality and accuracy of the temperature sensor readings located under the hood of the car are checked. To check the operation of the automatic start, you need to program the operation algorithm using a timer, or start the motor remotely using the remote control. If the engine stalls, then the correct installation and configuration of the complex elements is checked.

If the user plans to start and stop the power plant using a mobile application, then it is necessary to control the account balance. If there is no money, the operator blocks the forwarding of messages. In this case, the owner must either use a backup number or a standard Starline A91 or A93 alarm remote control.

The Starline A93/Starline A39 alarm capabilities allow you to remotely start the engine. The alarm also has functions for setting autostart based on engine temperature, voltage, interval and alarm clock.

All combinations and sequences of actions for activating and deactivating functions, methods for installing the Starline security system are contained in the instructions for the device:

Remote engine start

To use the Starline remote start and autostart functions, you need to make the necessary alarm connections to the vehicle circuits (you may have to use the included autostart module).

You also need to program the system to allow autostarts. To do this, in Table 2, program function 1 to options 2 or 3.

1.1. Features of remote and automatic engine starting

You will not be able to start the engine using the key fob and perform autostart if:

the brake pedal is pressed; the hood is open; handbrake is off; ignition on; Program neutral for cars with manual transmission has not been completed.

When starting automatically or remotely, Starline A93 makes four attempts. If during these attempts the engine does not start, then the “OS7” icon appears on the key fob, if it is within the visibility range of the unit, the key fob itself emits 4 beeps and the car’s light signals flash 4 times.

In fact, this is not OS7 at all, but the inscription OST from the word “stop”. But for some reason, most users think that this is OS 7.

If the remotely or automatically started engine stalls before the end of the programmed time, the Starline A93 will perform another start cycle.

Automatic start by temperature can be enabled regardless of the state of the autostart functions by interval, voltage and alarm.

1.2. Preparation for remote and automatic starting on machines with mechanics

On cars with a manual transmission, it is necessary to perform a special procedure to enable autostart - program neutral. Following this procedure will ensure that the vehicle does not remain in gear after the ignition is turned off.

Failure to program neutral will prevent the vehicle from being started remotely. Any autostarts will also be impossible. In this case, the same OS 7 (OST) will be written on the display of the Starline A93 key fob.

1.2.1. Performing soft neutral

To perform this procedure you must:

the engine was started; function 12 of programming table 2 has been programmed to one of the values; function 15 of table 2 had the value 1, 2 or 3.

Next, turn on the parking brake and do the following depending on the selected value of the 12th function.

Function values ​​12

What should be done

Briefly press button 2 on the key fob with the doors closed

Don't do anything

After these steps, if everything is done correctly, the car’s turns will flash 1 time, the LED will light up constantly, and the engine will continue to run. The display will show r99 or r06 (if the turbo timer is enabled).

Now turn off the ignition (if the value of function 12 of table 2 is 2, 3 or 4) and remove the key from the ignition. The engine should continue to run. Get out of the car and close all doors.

If function 15 of programming table 2 is at value 2, the engine will stop. If the value is 3, it will stop after 20 seconds. If it is 1, it will continue to work until Starline A93 is put into security.

Turn on security mode.

If the turbo timer mode is not activated, then:

the engine will stall; the door locks will be locked; turns or lights will flash once; the siren will croak once; the key fob will emit one beep; information will appear on the display that the security mode is turned on.

The car is ready for auto starts.

If the turbo timer is programmed, then:

the engine will not stall; the door locks will be locked; turns or lights will flash once; the siren will croak once; the keychain shows:

that the engine is running; remaining operating time of the turbo timer; that the security mode is turned on.

After the turbo timer runs out, the engine will stall. From this moment the car is ready for remote and automatic starts.

1.3. Starline a93 how to start from key fob

Before starting the engine from the key fob, make sure that:

for cars with manual transmission, program neutral is provided; on vehicles with an automatic transmission, the gearbox lever is in the “P” position; the handbrake is tightened; the hood is not open.

To remotely start the engine, press and hold button 1 until the second signal from the key fob. This applies to both the main (with LCD display) and additional key fobs. After the signals, release the button.

The key fob will emit a signal and the message ZPUS will appear on the display. After some time, the engine will start and the screen will display the engine operating time - 10 (r10), 20 (r20), 30 (r30) minutes or indefinitely (r99) - and an animated icon of the running engine (smoke).

The engine operating time depends on the value of function 2 of table 2.

If after the first attempt the car does not start, then Starline a93 will make three more attempts. If even after this the car does not start, then the key fob, if it is in the reception area, will emit four beeps and the inscription OST (OS7) will appear on its display. The car will flash four lights.

As long as the engine is running after a remote or automatic start, the remaining operating time in minutes is displayed on the key fob - r14, r13, r12, etc. When one minute remains (r01), the key fob, if it is in sight, will emit two series of four signals.

Features of the methods

There are several ways to start the engine using the Starline alarm system:

• automatic start depending on temperature or timer;
• remote start.

Automatic start

The automatic start function from the remote control allows the car owner to adjust the frequency of engine starting depending on the ambient temperature. Also, in the equipment settings, you can set the exact time for the engine to start and the duration of operation for warming up.

The Starline alarm, in addition to manual and temperature settings, allows you to specify the autostart time depending on external conditions, season, and so on. After the motor reaches the required temperature, it will automatically stall.

Auto start features:

• one cycle of automatic start of the internal combustion engine includes only 4 attempts to start the engine;
• if after starting the engine spontaneously stalls, the cycle is repeated and the internal combustion engine starts;
• if the temperature trigger function is activated in the Starline settings, it has higher priority;
• in cars with a manual transmission, the car owner needs to additionally configure the “signaling” to prevent the engine from starting when the car is at “speed”.

Remote start

In order to start the engine remotely, you just need to press a button on the key fob or remote control (remote control). The command to stop the engine is also sent from it.

In addition to key fobs, you can interact with the car via GSM (Groupe Spécial Mobile) and GPS (Global Positioning System) networks. To do this, just install the application on your phone or other device and use it to turn on/stop the internal combustion engine and program a warm-up autostart. Some Starline models, in particular A94 and A93, also support receiving commands via SMS messages.

Starline a93 autostart

A93 allows you to start the engine automatically:

by alarm clock - at a certain point in time; by voltage – when the battery voltage drops below the programmed one; by interval - after a certain number of hours (2, 4, 6, 8, 10... 24); by engine temperature – when the engine temperature drops below the programmed one (-3°C, -6°C, -9°C... -27°C).

2.1. Auto start on alarm clock

Before setting up autorun on an alarm, make sure that the time on the key fob is set correctly, the alarm is turned on and programmed for the time you need.

To activate the alarm, move the cursor to the alarm icon

in the manner shown in the figure below.

Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, for five seconds the remaining time until the start of autostart will be displayed on the screen, the alarm icon will light up permanently.

2.2. Periodic autostart

In this mode, Starline A93 allows you to automatically start the car at certain time intervals - from 2 to 24 hours in increments of 2.

To enable autorun by interval, move the cursor to the watch face icon

in a manner as shown in the figure below.

Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, and for four seconds the current value of the interval autostart will be displayed on the screen (2H - 2 hours, 4H - 4 hours, etc.).

Short presses of button 1 change the value of autorun periods. Each press increases the interval by 2 hours.

When you select the autorun interval you need, press button 1 for a long time or simply do nothing for 4 seconds. The key fob will sound 2 beeps, there will be an icon on its screen

will light up continuously, indicating that automatic interval start is activated.

After a few seconds, the engine will start automatically. You can turn it off immediately or let it run for the programmed time.

2.3. Starline a93 starting by engine temperature

The Starline A93 alarm allows you to autostart based on the engine temperature if it drops below the programmed one. The trigger range is assigned from -3°C to -27°C in steps of 3.

At least one hour passes between two consecutive temperature autostarts. For example, the autostart temperature is programmed to be -20°C. When the temperature dropped below -20°C, the car started, ran for 10 minutes and stalled. 40 minutes after stopping, the engine temperature again dropped below the programmed temperature. But the car alarm will not allow auto-start to occur. The next automatic start will occur only an hour after the car stalled.

To enable automatic start based on temperature, move the cursor to the snowflake icon

in a manner as shown in the figure below.

Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, the key fob will emit a melodic signal and for five seconds the current temperature at which autostart will occur will be displayed on its screen.

Short presses of button 1 change the autostart temperature value. Each press changes it by 3°C.

When you select the autorun interval you need, press button 1 until you hear a beep or simply do nothing for 4 seconds. The key fob will sound 2 beeps, there will be an icon on its screen

will light up continuously, indicating that automatic temperature start is activated.

2.4. Automatic engine start based on voltage

In this mode, the Starline A93 alarm starts the engine when the voltage in the car drops below the programmed one. The voltage can be changed in 0.1V steps from 11.7V to 12.3V.

Just as with autostart based on temperature, autostart based on voltage drop occurs no earlier than 1 hour after the last engine start.

This function is useful when the car owner leaves the car for a long time, for example, when he goes on a business trip. Then there is a high probability that the battery will be discharged and upon arrival from a business trip the car owner will not be able to start the engine due to a dead battery.

To enable the function, follow the steps shown in the pictures below.

2.5. How to disable automatic launches

To disable autostart on Starline A93 by alarm, temperature and interval, move the cursor to the alarm icon

, snowflakes or clock faces in a manner as shown in the picture below.

Then briefly press button 1 on the key fob. A melodic signal will sound, the turns will blink 2 times, and the corresponding icon will disappear from the screen.

To turn off voltage autostart, follow the same steps as when turning it on. Just select the value 00 00.

2.6. Indication of running engine after automatic start

Each autorun mode has its own indication:

1 – alarm clock; 2 – period; 3 – temperature; 4 – voltage.

Using telematics: mobile applications, StarLine-Online

The main disadvantage of starting from a key fob is the limited communication radius. In the city, it is impossible to start the engine, even if the car is parked on the other side of the house. Near high-voltage power lines, in industrial zones, “dead zones” of radio broadcasts even arise, where communication problems are noted even in direct visibility at a distance of tens of meters. It is convenient to warm up the car in the parking lot at the airport or train station even before arriving at the place, when the key fob will not “finish off” by definition.

Using the mobile app on your phone, starting is simple - on the main screen, press and hold the “engine” icon. After this, if the start was successful, the icon will light up, and the dynamic “exhaust” indication will indicate that the motor is running. Starting from the fourth generation (where the second version of the telematics protocol is implemented), you will see the temperature of the engine, interior, battery voltage (in the screenshot below the car is disarmed).

Without a smartphone, but with Internet access, use the StarLine-Online portal. The user interface here is similar to what you will see in the application.

Autostart does not work - the main reasons, problems and their elimination

As a rule, if there is OS7 on the key fob, then the reason why startup is not possible is indicated. Here are the main reasons why the remote engine start does not work or stops working:

• the hood is not closed – the open hood icon flashes;
• Ignition is on – the ignition on icon is lit;
• The parking brake is not engaged, the brake lights at the rear of the car are on, the lever is not in the “Parking” position – the icon is on.

If, during autostart or when trying to remotely start, the message OS 7 (OST) appears on the key fob, then first check that all safety conditions for autostarts are met: the hood is closed, the ignition is not turned on, the brake lights at the rear of the car are not on, program neutral is set for the mechanics (the doors did not open after it) and the handbrake was raised; for an automatic, the gearbox lever is in position P.

Programming key fobs

How to set up auto start on the Starline alarm system? The new key fob must be programmed. You can have no more than 4 key fobs per car. Find the protrusion of the service button in the car interior and press it seven times when the ignition is turned off.

After turning it on, a signal will sound seven times. Using the key fob, press buttons 2 and 3 while holding them, and this device will be programmed. If it is lost and you need to turn on the security mode when the ignition is on and the door is open, press the service button 3 times, turning off the ignition. The alarm will beep.

After you close the door, the system will lock after 20 seconds. This is a very useful feature in case you lose your key fob. Knowing how to enable autostart on the Starline A91, you can program several key fobs.

Possible faults

But sometimes the system can produce various errors: the engine does not start or starts, and after a few seconds it stalls. In such cases, the letters SP or ST are written on the key fob. The main reasons why the alarm system fails are listed below.

The engine starts and then turns off

First of all, you need to figure out whether the car has an immobilizer. The fact is that this security system does not allow automatic start-up. Therefore, during installation it is important to use the standard blocker bypass module.

The processor simply cannot read the command from the key fob. There may be several reasons for this: from a dead battery in the remote control to a short circuit or software malfunction.

There is no alarm connection to the starter and engine control parts. It turns out that the system simply does not have the physical ability to start the engine. It is necessary to install the missing elements.

Incorrect setting of operating modes

If the car is equipped with a manual transmission, there is a possibility that the neutral mode has not been programmed. This aspect needs to be corrected.

Physical damage to the remote control

Errors when installing the alarm or during its operation

System installers may incorrectly connect the motor control circuit or connect not all wires. Also, the transponder in the module may simply not recognize the signal. Or there may be a break in the circuits. In this case, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis.

Mobilizer module

To install an alarm system on a modern car, you need to install a bypass and mobilizer module, which looks like an antenna with a box. Either a key clone chip or a second key is installed in it. It is not active, but is activated only at the time of autostart.

The antenna transmits a signal to the standard mobilizer and helps the car start. Since everyone has Android-based mobile phones, it is convenient to control alarms using a GSM system. This is car alarm control from a phone application. It is absolutely free to download via the Internet and allows you to control the alarm system.

The GSM board can be inserted into the alarm unit along with a SIM card, which will ensure full control of the system from the phone and receiving messages.

This will increase the range of the alarm. The application will be displayed on the desktop of the mobile phone. Agree, very fast and convenient. There is no need to carry additional devices.

From your phone you can configure all launch modes, set a timer to select the time it takes for the engine to warm up, and set the launch at a certain engine temperature.

This module is purchased separately. It will help protect your car from intelligent hacking.

How to start a car using the Starline A91 key fob

• The car must be in neutral gear. This is true for cars with manual transmission; automatic parking;
• all doors, hood and trunk must be closed;
• The car must be put on the handbrake.

The Starline A91 alarm system has two remote controls. The first is the main one, with an LCD display. To start the engine remotely, you need to press the following buttons: first click key 1. It must be held until a melodic signal sounds. After this, you need to briefly press the third button. Detailed instructions are presented in the video below.

Matching module

How to enable auto start on the Starline A91 alarm system? The model is more expensive in cost. To connect any alarm, you must use a matching module. What it is?

All modern cars have digital wiring arranged using analogue systems. A fee is used to coordinate it with the vehicle. In new car models it is already installed, but in earlier ones you need to install it yourself.

For normal use, knowledge of its purpose is not necessary.

How to start a car using an alarm clock

The autorun function has several different options that the owner can configure at his own discretion. For example, you can set it to automatically start on an alarm clock. You should first make sure that the time on the key fob is set correctly for the correct execution of the program.

You need to position the cursor on the corresponding clock icon (using the third button). Then you need to press the first button and hear a melodic signal. The time on the key fob should blink, and the car's dimensions should blink once. Now the corresponding icon is displayed on the remote control, and the system has begun the countdown to autostart. The alarm clock indicators themselves are set in the same place as the clock parameter.

The sequence of pressing the key fob buttons

A long press on one and a short press on two starts the silent security mode.

Pressing buttons 1-3 will enable autorun. If you press 3 again, you can extend the time.

How to enable autorun on Starline? When buttons 1 and 2 are pressed simultaneously, the “Anti-robbery” mode is activated.

If you press buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously, the key fob itself is blocked, and after pressing buttons 2 and 3 this function is disabled. After a long press on button 3, you can set the alarm time, activate or deactivate the timer.

How to check engine temperature

The alarm also has a remote temperature trigger function, which is convenient for cold climates. To do this you will need:

• first press the third button on the remote control (in the form of an asterisk), the key fob will emit one melodic signal;
• The display now shows a thermometer icon. It is necessary to move the cursor to this icon by pressing the third key again;
• Now you can set the required temperature value at which the engine will start. The operation step is three degrees Celsius;
• to confirm the choice, press the first key for a long time, up to two short signals;

Results

When the cold weather comes, many drivers are interested in turning on a system such as remote auto engine start or starting in accordance with temperature indicators.

Starline alarms can cope with this function, provided that such a system is properly installed and configured.

For many motorists, information regarding enabling and configuring autostart for their vehicle is not available. There are several reasons for this - a new or leased car.

After reading the article, you can easily ensure that the engine autostart is turned on using the Starline alarm system.

One of the most popular driving mistakes is ignoring the mandatory recommendations that will be required to turn on auto start and close the door of a switched off car manually using the key fob. Now car enthusiasts will be able to take advantage of the knowledge about the procedure for autostarting the Starline A91. The question of how to make autostart on Starline will not be a mystery to them.

The StarLine A94 alarm system, equipped from the factory with a 2CAN module, is the best price option for cars with digital buses, with the exception of those where the body wiring is based on LIN. But since such cars are in the minority, there is no point in focusing on them. The number “9” in the marking indicates support for A94 autostart, which is implemented using an external power control module. However, it can also be used on cars where autostart does not require duplication of power circuits (the “Start-Stop” button is used or the ignition switch serves as a low-current switch, as on the Renault Megane III).

How to turn off the car using the Starline A91 key fob after autostart

It is logical that along with the ability to start the car engine remotely, there is an option that allows you to turn off the power unit. Executing this command from both key fobs (main and additional) is carried out in the same way:

— initially, the first button is held for three seconds, and then the second key is briefly pressed.

There is also the ability to turn off the engine via the phone. If a call is made to the alarm SIM card, then code 22 is entered. If an SMS is sent, then the owner must write the numbers 22 inside the message.

What to do if Starline A91 autostart does not work

Sometimes it happens that the autorun function does not work. For example, the starter turns the engine, but it does not start. In this case, it is necessary to check the presence of gasoline in the tank, as well as the charge of the battery. In the first case, everything is clear - you need to add gasoline. Secondly, charge the battery.

It is also possible that the engine does not start when cold and even has difficulty starting with the key. In this case, you can set settings that will increase the starter operating time. You can also reduce the interval between startup attempts.

In this case, the key fob displays information and immediately writes an error. To reset the protocol, you need to start the engine again with the key and tighten the handbrake. Then remove the key from the ignition, open the driver's door and activate the alarm again. Usually the car is armed again and the OS7 error simply disappears. However, this is not always the case. If this does not happen, then you need to contact the service center.

The same procedure is required in case of a short circuit or software failure. A hint of such a reason will be the incorrect behavior of the car and the incorrect performance of certain functions. Specialists from a specialized service center can fix the problem and do everything as professionally as possible.

Gain function

Starline has additional A95 security equipment, which is equipped with a wireless locking relay, buzzer and tags. This is a full-fledged security device that blocks one of the car’s circuits. Without a tag in the cabin, the car will not go anywhere.

Depending on the car model, different tags can be installed. You can wear them in documents. If you forget the tag at home, the car will begin to warn you about this with a sound signal. The system will always search for the tag.

There are several modes of using such a device:

• When the tag search is always carried out.
• For a one-time tag search when disarming for the first time. The tag will no longer be searched.
• Service mode, when even during the repair process at the service center it will not be noticeable that a mobilizer is installed.

In addition to the mobilizer, you can also install a hood lock from Starline. Such an electromechanical device works in parallel with the mobilizer, preventing the lock from being unlocked without the owner’s permission.

A full-fledged security complex consists of:

• security system;
• mobilizer;
• hood lock.

You can also use search beacons M15 and M17 from Starline. M15 is an autonomous beacon, a search device that helps find a missing vehicle. Serves for monitoring to track the speed and direction of the vehicle on the map.
