How to set the time on a Starline A92 key fob

The presence of the autostart function in the starline security system increases the convenience of using the car, since the driver does not need to waste his time waiting for the engine to reach a temperature sufficient for driving. A car alarm not only allows you to start the engine remotely, but also ensures that it starts at certain intervals. Also, the Starline A92 has the functions of automatically starting the power plant depending on the temperature or at a certain time using an alarm clock.

Starting the engine from the key fob

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

In order to remotely start the engine, a number of conditions must be met:

The automatic transmission selector must be in the “P” position. In the case of a manual transmission, a preliminary “software neutral” procedure is required.
The hood is closed.
The parking brake is on. Otherwise, the vibration emanating from the running motor may cause the vehicle to move.

There are two ways to remotely start the engine:

Select the icon and press the “3” button on the key fob.

The warm-up time can be extended by pressing the above combinations again. In order to turn off the car using the key fob, you need to press button “1” long and “4” briefly. An alternative way to turn off the engine is to select the icon

and pressing the “2” key.

Periodic start of the power plant

Instructions on what buttons to press to enable periodic autostart of Starline a92:

Place the cursor on the icon.
Press the third button on the key fob, as shown in the image below.

After the security system has been set to autostart, the following actions will occur on its part:

The car alarm will give a light signal.
A melodic sound will sound.
The icon will light up on the display.
An indication of the start of the engine will appear.
After a successful launch, you will see the image below on the key fob display. The engine operating time is determined by a pre-programmed parameter. You can disable autorun by selecting and pressing “2”.

Automatic start of the power unit by alarm clock

In order to configure autorun to work on an alarm clock, you should perform the following steps:

Click on the icon.

How to set the time on a key fob

Setting the time on the Starline key fob depends on whether the device belongs to the collection of models - the settings for each category are partially different in their algorithm. Thus, the time for Starline e91, B94, B64, D94, D64 and Starline E90 is fixed in several steps:

Click on key 4 and press until 1 long and 2 simple signals are played.
Wait for the melody to ring again and the main menu items to be displayed on the screen.
Enable the F-1 function using keys 1 or 4.
Select 4 and hold your finger until 2 quick beeps.
Use buttons 1 and 4 to set the required format.
Fix the set value using keys 2 and 3.
At the same time, for Starline E90 you can adjust the melody and volume.

Once you have set the time, you need to save the clock setting:

put the accessory aside for 8 seconds to automatically exit the menu;
hold button 1 until 2 short beeps sound to leave the menu.

The following procedure will allow you to achieve the correct time setting on the alarm for A39, A91, A92, A93 (a63), A61 and Starline A94:

Press 3 and wait until the melody and 3 short beeps play.
When the screen lights up, use keys 1 and 2 to set the clock.
Quickly press 3 and wait until the values are displayed.
Continue setting up the alarm using 1 and 2.
Click on key 3 to turn on the alarm.
Press 3 to switch where the device values are set.
You should exit the menu, and after 15 seconds the key fob will save the settings.

On some models (A92 and A93/63), it is worth closely monitoring the alerts on the LCD display: users note that the brightness often goes off and it is not clear whether the function from the bottom navigation is active or not.

Reasons for the impossibility of autostart and ways to eliminate them

The reasons why autorun does not work can be caused by three main factors:

Incorrect actions of the car owner, for example, forgetting to go through the “software neutral” procedure.
Failure of security system elements, for example, sensors.
Installation errors, as a result of which any wire is missing or connected incorrectly.

If the owner's error does not allow the car to start automatically, then you need to refer to the documentation that came with the security system. There you can also find out whether the car alarm connectors are connected correctly. Physical damage requires an individual approach, so it is better to entrust their elimination to professionals.

This alarm system is a domestically produced security system. According to the instructions, Starline A92 can be configured in different ways.

Features of the Starline A63 car alarm

The basis of this model of the security complex is the fourth generation platform. Unlike previous versions, the Starline A63 system is characterized by the use of light signals and new power relays. They are used to control the central locking system. Alarm developers have introduced options designed to provide better protection and comfortable control. New opportunities in terms of condition control and monitoring of vehicle location are provided thanks to the presence of GPS and GSM modules.

Specifications

Properties that the Starline A63 budget system has:

information is sent via a radio channel, the operating frequency of which is 433-434 MHz;
the largest operating range of the main communicator in command transmission mode is 800 meters;
if the key fob operates in signal receiving mode, then its range will be up to 2 km;
the operating range of the spare pager will be no more than 15 meters;
The sensitivity and tilt controller belongs to the category of integral three-axis sensors;
operating temperature range is from -50 to +85 degrees;
to power the security system, 9 to 18 volts are required;
in protection mode, the current consumed by the system will be no more than 17 mA;
if the security complex is supplemented with a GSM module, then the current consumption will increase to 25 mA.

The range of the Starline A63 alarm key fob depends on the presence of interference in the area, as well as weather conditions.

Degree of protection

To ensure maximum security, this system model uses conversational encoding with 128-bit AES encryption. This indicates the impossibility of hacking a security complex using code grabbers. Increased resistance to burglary is ensured thanks to the possibility of installing an additional Starline P3 blocking relay. This device does not have a physical connection with the microprocessor module; therefore, it is impossible to determine its presence by wires from the control unit. Even if the ECU is physically disconnected, the relay will remain operational.

The ExpressShina channel talked about the degree of protection and technical characteristics of the A63 anti-theft system.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of this security system:

The presence of a security code Dialogue allows you to prevent interception of signals.
The versatility of the device. This system supports more than 300 different cars including the latest models.
The alarm system is equipped with a CAN+LIN digital interface, which significantly simplifies and speeds up the installation process. During installation, the car owner will not have to seriously interfere with the vehicle’s electronics.
Availability of flexible service management channels. With their help, the consumer can configure additional functions without using external devices.
Reducing the number of false positives. During development, the manufacturer implemented technologies that made it possible to obtain a product that practically does not work without a reason.

According to reviews, malfunctions in the alarm system usually occur as a result of incorrect installation. There may be a problem with the low range of the key fob, but this is caused by external factors.

Functions

This security system has all the necessary car protection functions:

two-way communication with control over the hood and trunk areas;
possibility of protection without signals and with the engine running;
the ability to arm and disarm in the absence of a key fob;
automatic arming by timer and in case of erroneous disabling of protection;
“Anti-Theft” and “Panic” modes;
immediate disabling of the alarm by entering a personal code.

The key fob with display has 4 keys and a convenient cursor interface with clear icons, on which you can view the status of the protection system. The following autorun control functions are also provided:

setting the starter activation time;
variable delay between restarts of the starter;
monitoring the operating mode of the motor using the voltage of the on-board network or tachometer;
automatic restart when stalled or unsuccessfully started;
starter anti-twist protection to protect it from damage.

Advantages and disadvantages

This security system has a number of advantages. One of them is the Russification of the key fob interface, due to the domestic production of the device. This advantage makes it easier to use. Thanks to a strong data encryption algorithm and the use of floating frequencies, the alarm is resistant to hacking by third-party devices, for example, code interceptors.

A powerful transceiver ensures a high communication range. The ability to enable automatic engine start based on ambient temperature, alarm clock or time is another advantage of the Starline A92. This security system has several disadvantages - it does not function correctly at low outside temperatures and the sensitivity of the key fob buttons is too high and excessive reaction to their accidental pressing.

How to install and connect

The installation of the main unit is carried out hidden - under the dashboard of the car at a distance from the heater. Double-sided tape and self-tapping screws are used for fastening. The transceiver is mounted on the inside of the windshield. It should be located at a distance from the windshield wiper blades, body frames and standard sensors of the car so that the connection does not deteriorate.

The siren is placed under the hood using the included mount, and its bell is directed downwards to prevent dust, dirt, debris and liquids from getting there. The impact sensor is firmly fixed to the body floor tunnel with self-tapping screws. The temperature sensor is installed closer to the cylinder block on the outlet pipe through which heated coolant flows.

The indicator LED is installed in the space between the instrument panel and the engine compartment partition. The upper part is displayed under glass. The “Valet” button is securely hidden under the instrument cluster or next to the radio. All sensors and components are connected according to the connection diagram using blocks, which simplifies the installation process. The alarm is connected to the battery, side lights and direction indicators using harnesses included in the kit. Connection to the controller is carried out using a CAN instruction.

In order for the security system to autostart and maintain engine operation after removing the keys from the ignition switch, a corresponding power harness with thicker wires is connected to its contacts and the starter relay. Cables to door limit switches and electric lock drives are laid along the floor of the body. The wires to the siren should be placed in a protective tube.

User manual

According to the operating instructions for the Starline A92 alarm, you can configure and check various parameters and configure the operation of various functions. To do this, use a key fob with 4 buttons and a liquid crystal display, powered by a CR2032 battery, or a three-button key fob without a screen. The Starline system allows you to control the voltage in the on-board network and the temperature in the cabin.

Purpose of the buttons

A large round button on the key fob with a display allows you to arm the car with confirmation signals.
