Conclusion

The standard passive protection system on the Lada Granta Liftback is not enough. It is necessary to additionally install an active alarm.

Considering the wide range of products on the market, it is difficult for an inexperienced owner to make the right choice and select the correct security module model.

When purchasing, consider the cost of the product, and then its technical characteristics.

The article provides reviews of the most popular anti-theft models. The owner has the final say.

Our life is becoming more and more complicated. Electronic systems that serve our everyday life, while easy to use, are becoming increasingly technically complex. We don't understand them - we exploit them. The choice of a particular device is often left to professionals. We trust their opinion, experience and knowledge, and in return we expect to receive a high-quality solution to our problem. But in the modern world, approaches to the same problem can be completely different, and a professional may not necessarily offer the best option. Often a solution is proposed that is optimized not for what is best for the consumer, but for what is more profitable for the seller or more convenient for the installer...

So, no matter how much we want, a simple user cannot do without knowledge about the subject.

Our article contains the results of one experiment. We decided to call a car alarm installation studio and find out what kind of security system a professional installer would offer us for installation on a domestic Lada Granta car. And based on this, make a rating of the offer, sort it out and choose the best.

The legend was very simple: during the conversation we asked for recommendations on installing a car alarm on a 2015 Granta with auto start in a luxury configuration. We didn't talk about the budget. They definitely asked about the warranty for the work and equipment, and also clarified about maintaining warranty rights for the electrics of the new car.

In total, we called 95 installation centers in 15 cities of Russia. Cities were selected based on a list of million people, and installation studios were selected based on a search in Yandex. Whoever gets into the search results first gets the call.

A little about the car

Many people are accustomed to the fact that domestic cars lag far behind foreign ones in terms of their electrical equipment. On imported cars, digital control buses are used with all their might, but in the products of our automobile industry it is still necessary to string each limit switch with wires throughout the cabin. Yes, it was like that, but now everything is different. Lada Granta is one of the latest cars equipped not only with a digital CAN bus, but also with a Lin bus. The use of digital connections to the vehicle bus opens up great opportunities for security system installers to monitor the state of the vehicle’s standard systems and even manage them. Thus, a car alarm knows whether the windows are open or not, and can close them when arming. It monitors the status of the doors, the condition of the engine, whether the trunk is closed and much more. Therefore, for the security system to fully operate at the modern level, it is necessary to integrate it into the digital environment of the car.

Lada Granta is also equipped with a standard chip key and immobilizer. Until the on-board system sees its digital key, it will not give permission to start the engine. Therefore, to implement such a convenient function of a car security system as auto start, it is necessary that the alarm system be able to bypass this blocking.

This is done in two ways: either by installing an immobilizer bypass, or by electronic key emulation. In its simplest form, a lineman is a box into which a car’s original key or a key chip is placed. Those. The security system installer shows the on-board computer that the key is here, in place, you can start the engine, but the key is not actually in the lock: it lies in a box that is hidden under the dashboard. In the second case, a security complex or a special electronic crawler emulates the key signal, creating it only in autostart mode. There is no regular key in the car at this moment.

It is clear that the first method of bypassing the trouser immobilizer has many flaws. The standard immobilizer is disabled, leaving a duplicate key or chip in the car. All this negatively affects the anti-theft resistance of the car. The second method is more reliable and resistant to theft, because the standard immobilizer continues to protect the car.

So we have before us a serious, complex car that requires a professional approach and modern security systems.

As a result, we were offered to install 15 different models of car alarms from 9 brands. We will not describe all systems, but will focus only on the leaders of the list and analyze in detail what was offered to us.

Photo report on connecting a car alarm to a Lada Granta Luxury package

On the ignition switch: +12 - pink starter - red ignition - blue/black

We connect to the central locking in the driver's door according to the figure below.

We connect to the tachometer on the small connector of the electric power steering - brown/red wire.

In the left threshold we connect to the door and trunk limit switches , turns , and handbrake .

We connect to the hood terminal in the harness that goes under the hood behind the mounting block - white/black wire.

To block, you can use the fuel pump - the gray wire on the back of the mounting block.

To remotely unlock the trunk, connect the negative wire to the red/white wire on the trunk release connector.

3. Photo report on installing a car alarm on Lada Granta 2011

Photo 1. A mounting block is shown, which is very difficult to remove, since the power steering interferes with unscrewing the screw. But you won't need to do this for installation.

Photo 2. Central locking relay. And we don't need it for installation.

Photo 3. Ignition switch, traditionally VAZ.

Photo 4. Left threshold, in which we take: turns - blue and blue/black; handbrake - brown/blue; fuel pump - gray (there are two of them, don’t confuse them); driver's door - brown/green (and here's the ambush, there are no passenger limit switches and, what's more, having opened all the thresholds, I didn't even find the wiring for them).

Photo 5. The instrument panel, in which you can take the handbrake - brown/blue, and the driver's door, which is already red/green here. An alarm unit can be placed behind the shield; there is plenty of space.

Photo 6. The engine ECU is shown, it is located behind the glove box, from which (right connector) you can take the generator signal - brown / blue.

Photo 7. We attach it to the trunk end - white/black. We put a diode in the gap.

Photo 8. We install the “Eureka” limit switch in the engine compartment in its normal place.

Photo 9. A drive must be installed in the driver's door. The corrugation from the pillar to the door comes from Kalina, you need to disconnect the connector and drill a hole in both halves in the center with a 6mm drill and pull through the wires for the drive.

4. Car alarm connection points for Lada Granta 2012

Ignition switch: + 12V - pink IGN_1 - blue Start - red

Left threshold: Turns - blue and blue/black Fuel pump - gray Driver's limit switch - red/green Handbrake - brown/blue

Tidy: Driver's limit switch - red/green Handbrake - brown/blue

Central locking - install an electric drive in the driver's door, if there is no electric drive in the door Trunk - white/black; harness in the trunk (install a diode) Tachometer - brown/red; In the configuration, the standard can be taken on the electric power steering unit

If the car has painted bumpers (standard equipment), then there is no need to install an additional activator; we connect pins 2 and 7 on the door lock using a power circuit. The locks on the doors are Kalinovsky, the activator is built inside, but the wires are not routed.

There is only a driver's door switch. The rest need to be installed and connected to the driver's limit switch, i.e. to red/green in the threshold. The limit switches are the same as the engine compartment on the Priora. The limit switches will have to be taken with a connector and wiring.
