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.

Due to the active growth in statistics on vehicle thefts, more and more drivers began to think about purchasing a security system. However, due to the wide variety of manufacturers and models, choosing the most suitable option is not as easy as it seems. Well, to solve this problem, we recommend turning your attention to the Starline A91 alarm system with auto start (key fob instructions, price and photo), which is a high-quality novelty in its segment.

Functionality

What functions does a car anti-theft system have:

Activation of alarm signals when a machine is broken into.
Immobilizer. When the system is turned on, the power unit is blocked after the internal combustion engine is turned off. The device is activated after 30 seconds.
Sending messages to the control panel about a possible break-in or other impact on the body.
Anti-robbery function. The presence of this option allows you to carry out an emergency shutdown of the car’s engine as a result of opening the driver’s door if the driver has not been identified as the owner.
Possibility of remote control of door locks thanks to the remote control. The presence of two-way communication allows you to find out about the condition of the car.
Service option. If necessary, the car owner can disable the security, but leave other options working.
Car search function. Activating it will trigger the siren, which will allow the car owner to know where the vehicle is parked.
The presence of a GSM module provides the ability to monitor and control vehicle security via a mobile phone. The device must be configured correctly.
The engine autostart option allows you to start the engine remotely from a distance. There are two options for turning it on - press the remote control keys and start the engine immediately, or configure its activation by time, temperature or timer.

Forced autorun

To turn on Starline A91 autostart at any desired time, use the key fob. Naturally, a car with a manual transmission must first go through the specified “soft neutral” procedure and then not be disarmed.

To start the engine, first press button 1 of the key fob for a long time, after a short squeak press button 3. The display on the screen will change to “St”, the car will turn on the ignition and after the time specified by function 10 in the settings menu, it will try to start the engine. If the start is successful, the display will change again: a “smoke” will be drawn near the exhaust pipe on the display, and the countdown of the time remaining until the engine will turn off will begin. For example, if function 2 is set to value 3 (30 minutes), then the display will count down from “r30” to “r00”, after which the motor will be turned off. If the warm-up time is set to “infinity” (value 4), then the display will constantly indicate “g99”.

Since setting up the Starline A91 autostart requires access to the car, it is possible, if necessary, to extend the warm-up time remotely. To do this, while the engine is running, you need to press the same autostart buttons again - first button 1 for a long time, and then button 3 briefly. The countdown timer will be reset to the initial value and will start counting again from the interval specified in the settings - for example, if the warm-up time is set to 10 minutes, and at the 9th minute you extend the warm-up time, the motor will run for a total of 19 minutes.

To turn off the engine before automatic shutdown, press button 2 for a long time, and then button 3 briefly.

How to connect?

A typical connection diagram for the Starline A91 “signaling” is presented in the operating and installation instructions that come with the kit. Depending on the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle's electrical network, the procedure for connecting the wires may have certain differences.

How should the 18-pin alarm control module connector be connected:

The black contact is grounding, connected to the car body or any negative wire.
The connector has a loop with a black cable. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, then you do not need to touch it. If there is a manual transmission, then the loop should be cut.
The black-green and yellow-green contacts are connected to the turn signal lights.
The gray contact is intended for connecting power to the siren.
The black and blue cable goes to the limit switches mounted in the doors.
The gray-orange contact connects to the hood limit switch. This wiring is connected to the power unit temperature controller.
The white and orange cable is connected to the tailgate end switch.
The pink cable connects to the negative terminal of the immobilizer bypass.
The black-gray cable is used to control the signal from the generator device; this is necessary to implement auto-start of the motor.
The purple-orange contact must be connected to the parking brake.

Connecting an 18-pin connector
To connect a six-pin plug designed for autostarting the engine, do the following:

The red contact is positive, connected to the positive of the pink wire of the central locking.
The yellow cable is the output for maintaining the ignition.
There is no need to touch the blue contact.
This connector has two yellow and black contacts - one thicker, the other thinner. You need to proceed with them as follows - cut the red cable at the ignition switch, after which the thick wire is connected to the starter device, and the thin wire to the lock.
There is no need to touch the green contact, it is not activated.

When connecting, you must take into account the pinout of the lock:

blue contact - positive output for the inserted key controller;
black wire - a minus is formed when the doors are open;
red contact - positive, connected to the starter device;
blue-black output - positive, forms a plus after ignition activation;
green contact - forms a plus in the circuit after installing the key;
the white wire goes to the LED bulb;
The pink contact connects to the positive terminal of the battery.

How to connect to the central locking with your own hands:

The blue contact is connected to the white output of the lock;
the yellow cable must be connected to the brown terminal;
To synchronize the operation of the anti-theft installation and the lock, an activator must be installed in the driver's door.

To connect limit switches, new switches are installed instead of the installed ones; the pinout of the connector is as follows:

the blue-white contact is connected to the switch in the driver's door;
the black and white output is connected to the limit switch in the left rear door;
the brown wire connects to the device in the door on the front right;
The white/red cable goes to the rear right door limit switch.

The latter is triggered by vibration in the body and requires precise adjustment. Central locking. Connecting the central lock.

How to setup?

To control a modern anti-theft system with a key fob, it must be linked to the alarm system; this procedure is performed as follows:

Find the Valet service key. The button is usually installed in a hidden place so that criminals cannot gain access to it when trying to break into the car. It can be located under the glove box, steering wheel, in the fuse box, under the seat or center console. Before activating the remote control, the button is pressed seven times. The engine of the machine must be turned off.
Then start the power unit. If the binding procedure is completed correctly, the siren will emit seven beeps. This means that key fobs can be added to the alarm memory.
After that, press keys 2 and 3 on the remote control simultaneously. Hold them until the siren beeps. This indicates successful authorization of the remote control.
With other key fobs, the procedure is performed in a similar way. After binding, the ignition must be turned off.

The Simple Opinion channel showed in a video the procedure for activating the Chinese signaling control panel.

Checking the alarm after installation

To make sure that the tasks were completed correctly, after installing the Starline alarm, you need to check its operation.

The diagnostic procedure has the following features:

A visual check of all conductor connections is carried out to ensure that there are no breaks. It is recommended to ensure that all components are connected correctly according to the diagram. Only then are all cables connected to the microprocessor module.
Then you need to connect the battery terminals. First, the positive contact is connected, and then the negative one. If, after connection, all safety elements remain intact and the siren emits one signal, then the installation steps were completed correctly.
When the battery is connected, you need to check the power lines for heating.
The ignition is activated. If, as a result of switching on, the siren is activated and does not turn off, then you need to disconnect one of the wires connected to it. All power lines are dialed.
If everything is done correctly, the security kit is configured.

How to use the keychain?

Versatility. Installation of an anti-theft installation is possible on any car, regardless of model and year of manufacture.

User Stas World in his video talked about how to correctly configure the anti-theft system to automatically start the engine based on a timer or temperature.

As for the disadvantages, this alarm model is characterized by the following breakdowns:

The automatic start option does not work correctly. The cause of the problem may be due to the absence of an immobilizer bypass device; this element is installed when installing the “signaling system”. The malfunction may be due to a lack of connection to the engine control circuit, as well as a damaged or broken power circuit. If the problem is with the contacts, they must be replaced. The cause of the problem may be a low battery.
The car alarm siren activates for no reason. The malfunction may be due to a very high sensitivity level of the shock controller. We recommend resetting the sensor and reassigning the configuration. The problem may be insufficient fixation of the control module or impact controller. The above system components should be firmly fixed.
The car alarm does not respond to the car owner's commands. First, the fault should be looked for in the key fob batteries; if they are discharged, then these elements must be replaced. The problem may be due to a discharge or failure of the battery. Sometimes the reason is due to failures in the key fob settings. This problem can be solved by reprogramming.
The alarm system responds to signals from key fobs, but does not close or open the car doors. This malfunction is usually associated with the operation of the anti-theft system. It is necessary to check the wiring, the condition of the limit switches, as well as the control module.
