How to turn on the sound on the Starline alarm key fob, increase the volume of the siren

Modern security systems have long ceased to be simply security systems that protect a car from theft. Now they have a lot of additional functions, including autostart, turbo timer, car search using GPS, communication with emergency services, etc. The owner can also program the sound on the Starline alarm key fob to turn off or turn on the sound. This makes it easier to operate intuitively at night. But this function is activated differently in different system models. All aspects of this area are described in more detail in this article.

How to set the Starline alarm sound

The Starline B9 and B92 models belong to the middle price segment. There are no options here - for example, it is impossible to turn off the sound of the key fob; it will always notify the owner of attempts to enter using sound signals.

At the same time, in the dark, the owner of the car has the opportunity to set a silent security mode. To do this, press the first button until the key fob beeps, and then quickly press the second button. Now the security without a siren signal is activated - when attempting to enter, it will not make noise, simulating a trill or bells, but will simply flash its dimensions. In this case, the owner will receive a corresponding notification on the remote control. About the key fob with the Starline A93 flip key.

How to turn on the sound on the Starline alarm key fob with auto start

The Starline A93, A96, and E90 models have a number of additional functions that make life easier for the owner. So, the owner of the car can not only activate the silent security mode - on the remote control you need to press key one for a long time, and then press the second button again briefly. In addition, the system provides an option for setting signal parameters.

To enter the sound function programming menu, you must hold down the fourth key. First, the key fob will emit one long beep, then two short beeps. A corresponding menu will appear on the screen with the ability to select the appropriate mode:

loud signals - RUDE;
quiet signals – WEAK;
vibration signal only – VIBR;
alarm system Siren - SIG1;
alarm system Trill - SIG2.

Switching between items is carried out by short pressing button four (forward) or key one (backward). The value is selected through a short click on keys two and three.

Setting the volume of the Starline A93 key fob

The car alarm has a sound changing function. If desired, you can choose a quieter mode of operation of the Starline key fob itself or make the siren volume louder or quieter. To do this, you need to go to the settings menu by long pressing key number four (at least five seconds).

Then you have access to adjusting the signal volume - there is a silent mode. You can choose the system operation options: siren or trill.

turn on the ignition, then go to settings and scroll to the Soun section;
press button 3 for a long time, and then press it again briefly, the key fob will show the current volume value (default – 2);
use keys 2 or 3 to change the parameter in the range from 1 to 9;
We also exit the menu by long and short pressing key 3.

How to turn down the volume on the StarLine key fob

Another option for the popular car alarm available on the market today is Starline A93, A61, and A91. These models do not have the option to adjust the sound signal - the volume cannot be increased or decreased. But it is also not necessary to constantly listen to the car siren.

Reviews of the Starline A39 alarm system

There is a silent arming mode - first, the first key is pressed for a long time, and after the key fob emits a signal, it is briefly pressed again. In this case, the car will be in security mode with a siren and will notify the owner of attempts to break into. You can completely turn off the sound - this is a silent security option. It turns on in a similar way - by long pressing the first button, and then short pressing the second.

Yes, I read the first post. You answer the question.

Well, I'm not so stupid as to ask questions without making sure that everything I need is installed.

As I understand it, you just press the buttons on the key fob, but I can’t figure out what the hell.
Well, you opened the link that they gave you, everything is explained there step by step, with drawings.

are the wires connected to the siren?

On the topic: where there is no sound, the key fob does not squeak or there is no sound of a siren from under the hood?

Installation of car alarms must be carried out by qualified specialists. A car alarm is a complex technical device that requires connection to vehicle circuits associated with engine operation.

We strongly DO NOT recommend wearing your car alarm key fob on the same ring as your car keys.

If an icon appears on the key fob display warning that the key fob battery is low, take measures in advance to replace the battery. We recommend storing the new spare battery in the vehicle in its original packaging.

Please read these instructions carefully and pay particular attention to sections marked with .

It must be remembered that a car is a vehicle of increased danger. Section 12.8. The traffic rules state: “The driver may leave his seat or leave the vehicle if he has taken the necessary measures to prevent the vehicle from moving spontaneously or being used in the absence of the driver.”

Before using the StarLine A91 car alarm, carefully read the safety precautions for using the remote or automatic engine start function outlined below.

Always park your vehicle in an open, well-ventilated area.
Always set the vehicle's parking brake, which must be in good condition and prevent the vehicle from moving.
When leaving the vehicle, be sure to place the automatic transmission control lever in the “PARK” position and the manual transmission shift lever in the neutral position.
If your car uses a manual transmission, then before turning on the remote or automatic engine start function, be sure to complete the preparation procedure for starting the engine - “soft neutral”.
Never start the car engine without the driver present or if anyone is in front of or behind the car.
Never give car alarm control key fobs to children or other persons without first reading these instructions.
On cars with a manual transmission, it is not recommended to start the engine remotely or automatically if the car is out of sight and the car alarm user is not able to control the engine starting process.
Before enabling the remote or automatic engine start function, you must:

— make sure the car is in good condition;
— make sure there is a sufficient amount of fuel, oil, coolant, etc.;
— set the operating parameters of the interior heater (air conditioner), glass heating and other accessories to the required levels;
— set the interior airflow regulator to air circulation, which will allow you to more effectively heat or cool the air in the car.

How to increase the sound on a Starline alarm system

Some car alarm models Starline A91W, A94 or B9 allow you to increase the volume of the siren and adjust this parameter at your discretion. To set this parameter, you will need to enter programming mode.

With the ignition off, you need to click on the Valet service key 5 times. The button is usually located in the door pockets, between the front seats on the center tunnel, inside the glove box, near the steering column, near the pedal assembly or under the decorative cover of the front panel (next to the fuse box).

Then turn on the ignition and briefly press buttons two and three to select Soun, where you can add volume. To do this, press the third button for a long time (until a characteristic signal), and then again briefly. An indication of the current value appears on the key fob (factory setting is two). You can turn down the volume with keys one or two, and turn up the volume with button three. The maximum parameter is nine, the minimum is one. After turning off the ignition, the indicator will be saved.

Setting up ringtones

This function is included in the set of basic alarm functions Starline E90, E91 and F3. Configuration is carried out directly through the key fob. First, press the fourth key for a long time until the remote control emits a melodic signal, and then two more short beeps.

The selections now flash on the display. The owner, by short pressing the fourth button, selects item F4 (alarm volume and selection of melody for the communicator). The desired parameter is set using keys two or three (decrease and increase, respectively). Exiting the programming mode occurs automatically - just do not click anything for eight seconds.

Why is the Valet service button needed and where is it located?

The Valet button in the Starline “signaling” is a device designed to control the security system installed on the car. This element is used as a jumper for contact components located on the microprocessor unit board. When you press the button, various electrical circuits are opened and closed.

Using the key allows you to:

enable and disable various functions and work with them;
block the operation of the power unit on the car (so that the engine cannot start);
assign a personal password for emergency management.

The location of the Valet service button in a car with a Starline alarm system should be hidden, this is due to the ability to control the system. Usually the device is located under the dashboard of the car and is disguised in one of the bundles with standard wiring.

If you did not install the alarm yourself, then you need to find this button by checking all the wires coming from the microprocessor module. One of the cables goes to the key anyway.

Video: finding a service button in a car

The “Samodelkin Life” channel in its video described in detail how a user can find the location of the Valet service button in a car.

Arming without sound

When arming, the car always emits a sound signal, as well as when disarming this mode. But this is not very convenient in the dark, when silence is important. Therefore, you can arm your car silently. To do this on the Starline A9 or A93 models, you need to press the first key for a long time, and after the signal, click it again, but briefly. You can open the car in a similar way, but I use the second button on the key fob.

The complex also offers a silent security mode. In this case, the siren will not sound even when trying to break into the car - only the dimensions blink. The key fob will beep and vibrate to notify the owner of the situation. You can put the machine in this mode by pressing the first button for a long time, and then briefly clicking on the second key. After this, the LED indicator on the windshield will begin to blink, the car will blink its headlights once, and the corresponding icons of a lock and a crossed out siren will appear on the remote control.

Setting the sensitivity of the shock sensor

To adjust the sensitivity of the shock sensor of the Starline A91 system, you need to perform the following steps:

disconnect the battery terminals (as an alternative, remove the fuse that controls the interior lighting);
find the location where the shock sensor is attached (as a rule, it is located under the front panel, in the area of the steering column and pedals);
disable the security mode, switch to programming mode and use the buttons on the remote control to make the necessary changes.

The sensitivity level has 10 values (0 – minimum, 10 – maximum). Factory settings assume 4-5 levels of protection. When adjusting the alarm sensitivity, you need to take into account the vehicle load level. The operation of the alarm should be considered correct if there are no false alarms.

How to turn off the siren sound through the application

Also, the developer of the Starline system model E91 or E90S offers customers a convenient mobile application, available for installation on any phone with the iOS or Android operating system. With its help, you can control various functions - set autorun parameters, configure the turbo timer, adjust the volume of the signal. All parameters are configured through a convenient and functional application menu.

Operating instructions for Starline A93 key fob

Enabling start based on engine temperature

More relevant during cold weather is automatic start based on engine temperature. Unlike the previous method, the engine will not start if it is warm and there is no need to warm it up. This option is programmed as follows:

turn off the ignition, press the Valet key six times;
turn on the ignition, listen to six beeps, click Valet four more times;
Now the first button on the remote control will set the parameter -5 degrees, the second - minus 10, the third - minus 18. A long and then short press of the first button is responsible for setting the parameter - 25 degrees Celsius.

Why does the StarLine alarm sound not work?

Some owners encounter problems when the key fob does not make sound signals and automatically switches to vibration or silent mode. There are several reasons for this:

if the sound disappears, you can check the power supply of the remote control - often the battery, when the charge is weak, tends to conserve energy, so the sounds may disappear;
It is also recommended to check the limit switches on the doors and trunk of the car - if, according to the system, the car does not open or close the doors, the signal may not be played;
Sometimes the impact of the remote control displaces the metal plates inside the key fob. To restore functionality, you need to disassemble the remote control and put the plate back in the center;
you need to check the serviceability of the control wire - perhaps there is no signal;
recheck the cables going to the main control unit, ring the contacts;
Analyze the state of the shock and tilt sensor.

If everything is in order, then it is recommended to take the car for service and consult with professional installers.

Starline A91 key fob control

Causes and solutions

Many car owners cannot figure out why the Starline A93 alarm sound does not work. There may be several reasons for this:

The settings are set to silent mode.
Damage to the siren of the Starline security system itself.
Failure to comply with the conditions for the alarm to operate.
Temporary system failures.
Mechanical damage to one of the blocks.

The most difficult thing is when the sound of the Starline A93 alarm on the car disappears due to mechanical faults. In this case, you need to contact a service center to replace or repair the damaged unit. In other situations, the problem can be solved independently and without additional costs.

Basic malfunctions and solutions to the problem

Sometimes a Starline car alarm can malfunction and cause problems for its owner. Among the most common complaints:

The alarm does not pick up at 20 meters and does not go off. The reason why the car is not disarmed may be a bad signal. In this case, the car simply does not have feedback from the key fob, and accordingly, it does not perceive commands. In this case, you need to check the condition of the power supply element of the remote control, perhaps precisely because of the weak signal, and replace the battery if necessary. Additionally, you need to check the area for radio interference.
There are also options when the siren goes off spontaneously. The reason for this behavior is that the shock sensor is too sensitive. Both stages (impact and hacking) can be adjusted using a standard screwdriver, reaching the sensor itself (it has special controls).
Sometimes autostart with automatic transmission does not work on the car, and SP lights up on the key fob display. This means that the car tried to start the car four times, but the starter simply did not have enough force. It is recommended to start it manually or increase the duration of its operation. In this case, for autostart it is necessary that the car is in neutral and the parking brake lever is fully tightened.
If the alarm does not work, and additional software errors appear (the car starts and stalls, does not close the doors, etc.), then it is best to reset to factory settings. After this, most of the problems should disappear, but if they cannot be fixed, then it is better to take the car to a specialized service, where qualified specialists will sort out the issue and fix all the problems, perhaps there is a mass loose or there is a bad contact somewhere.

Pros and cons of silent security

Before you put the Starline A91 in silent mode, you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of the option.

Pros:

Thanks to the silent mode of Starline A91, the car owner will have more time to react. The attacker may not even notice the alarm is going off.
The absence of sound is a big plus when the car is parked near a residential building. In this case, you don’t have to worry about neighbors’ complaints if the security system accidentally triggers.
The ability not to waste battery charge when the car is in the garage. In this case, you can enable the silent option, because regular blocking and informing the owner is enough.

Flaws:

If there is no sound signal, there is a danger that the attacker will continue the theft attempt. This is because silent mode does not attract attention. In this case, it’s better to add the Auto Immo function.
If the alarm system fails, the owner cannot always detect the breakdown in time.

Before setting the silent mode on the Starline A91 alarm system, weigh all the pros and cons, and then make a decision whether to turn on the silent option or not. In the comments, describe in what cases you use the security system option and what difficulties arise with its use.

Service mode functionality

On all Starline alarm models, the service mode can be activated using the cursor method through the display of the key fob communicator. To do this, for example, for the Starline A93 security system you need:

Press and hold key 2 or 3 on the key fob.
Wait for 1 melodic and 1 meek signal to sound. The first icon at the bottom of the display will light up on the communicator screen.
To move the cursor to the left, use short presses of key 2, and to the right, use buttons 3,4.
The icon will blink as you move the cursor. To turn on/off the “Valet” mode, you need to press and hold button 1 of the communicator until 1 melody and 2 short signals sound. After the wrench icon lights up on the communicator display, you need to exit the control system.
The cursor method of activating various operating modes of the car alarm is disabled by holding down key 1 for a long time. After the signal sounds, the cursor control system is exited.

It is impossible to enable the service function if the alarm is not disarmed. It is activated only when the car's alarm system is removed, and also if the driver is near the car.

In the Starline a93 car alarm, the “Valet” option includes remote control of door locks and added channels.

In the StarLine A96 security and telematics complex, the following options do not function in service:

activation/deactivation of security functions;
"Free hands";
remote and automatic starting of the car engine;
opening and closing the central lock when the vehicle is moving;
"Panic";
"Turbo timer";
opening the trunk lock;
changing the operating modes of the pre-heater;
“Anti-robbery by missing tag”;
main unit calibration;
“Can-information” on the personal page of the official Starline website.

StarLine service mode management

When the service position is activated on the Starline A39, A63, A9, A96 or E90 alarm, some functions become unavailable to the owner. For example, in this position you can unlock or lock the doors, open/close the trunk, and activate the window closer. At the same time, recording new key fobs, changing autostart parameters or an individual unlock code is impossible.

Moreover, changing the parameters for automatically closing doors in this position is carried out exclusively through the Valet button. This key helps in programming settings and in case of emergency disabling of security (in case the key fob was lost). The button is located in a hidden place so that a potential attacker cannot reach it. The owner must know its location - if the installers did not tell it, it is necessary to check:

place near the pedal assembly;
space under the steering column;
the inside of the compartments for small items on the door cards;
central tunnel between the first row seats;
space under the front decorative panel, near the fuse box.

Enabling Starline service mode

To transfer a car, for example, a Nissan Terrano, to a diagnostic service, you will need to temporarily disable the security functions. The owner of the car must enable the service mode and transfer the car to the appropriate state. To do this, you need to disable the security mode - transferring to the service position is impossible without this.

Switching on is carried out as follows: you need to set the cursor icon on the key fob to the wrench symbol, and then briefly press the third key on the remote control. After this, the car will emit one light signal, and the key fob will play a melody. A wrench icon will appear on the display. For Starline i96Can, I95, A92, A94 or A95 systems, the functions of remote control of door locks will continue to work, but the shock and tilt sensors, as well as other security options, will be disabled.

Also, if you have a GSM module, you can activate the repair mode using a mobile application. The owner must send an SMS with command 51 to the built-in SIM card or make a call where he can give command 51 in voice mode. Or go through his personal account on the official website of the company (you must go through the registration procedure).

How to disable the StarLine anti-robbery service mode

This function is designed to scare away car thieves in an emergency. When the anti-robbery mode is activated on the Starline A92, E91 or E95 models, the car turns on sound and light alarms, locks all doors, and turns off the ignition on the engine, first pulsed, then permanently. At the same time, the key fob vibrates and plays an alarm signal.

This option is activated from the key fob by long pressing the first and third buttons. After this, the corresponding icon will become active on the display. The car owner can enable the hidden anti-robbery mode. It is activated after the driver closes all the car doors and presses the Valet service button for two seconds.

It is important that deactivating the Anti-Robbery mode (when turned on from the key fob) from the remote control is impossible. It is carried out exclusively through entering a personal code

you need to move the cursor to the corresponding icon;
Briefly press the second key on the remote control.

It is not possible to activate the anti-theft function in repair mode.

Possible faults

Malfunctions that a car owner may encounter:

Batteries in the remote control. If the alarm begins to work incorrectly, you must first check the functionality of the battery. The batteries in Starline remote controls do not have a long service life, so at the first symptoms of discharge they must be replaced. A decrease in charge is characterized by dimming of the diode and screen.
If you have problems with power supply, this may be due to a dead car battery. The reason must be sought in malfunctions of the safety unit or the power circuit of the anti-theft system.
Malfunctions in the operation of the central processor. Its breakdown will lead to the need for expensive repairs, because along with the control module, it is necessary to change the remote control, as well as other components of the anti-theft installation. It is not recommended to repair the central unit yourself.
Failure of controllers. These components can be replaced with new ones if the alarm model is not too old.

In practice, all failed elements, except the central processor, can be replaced with new ones without any problems.

Vladimir Korovin made a video in which he spoke in detail about the repair of the Starline central alarm unit.

If the key fob does not respond

The remote control may not work due to a dead battery.

If the battery is intact and replacing it does not produce results, the causes of the problem may be the following:

there are high-voltage lines or a radio station near the car, this leads to signal disruption that cannot reach the central processor;
the car battery is dead;
The remote control is out of range of the alarm antenna.

If the problem lies in one of the listed reasons, then the car must be driven to another place and the remote control is checked for functionality.

Device repair is performed as follows:

Disassemble the remote control housing using a small screwdriver. Make sure there are no cracks or other damage to the internal circuitry. There should be no signs of poor soldering. Using a regular construction brush, clean the internal components.

Remove all dust from the case; it is not recommended to use cleaning liquids, as this may harm the board. If, during the diagnostics, detached elements are found on the circuit, they must be carefully soldered into place. The electrical circuits inside the key fob must be checked with a tester.

If the diagnostics did not allow the breakdown to be determined, then the cause must be sought in the capacitor element. In programming mode, hold down the key and rotate it 10 degrees. The process continues until the remote control and key fob are synchronized.

You can learn more about the step-by-step repair of the alarm key fob from the video filmed by the AlanMorfreeman channel.

Starline alarm repair

Repairing an anti-theft device involves replacing failed components with new ones. Faults related to the sensor or damaged wiring can be resolved independently. Failed controllers are replaced by dismantling and replacing with new ones. As for electrical circuits, if the damage is minor, the wire can be additionally insulated, and if the defect is serious, it must be replaced. Repair of problems related to the control unit should be entrusted to specialists.
