Tomahawk TW-7010: is there autostart?

The standard equipment of the Tomahawk TV 7010 alarm system does not have the ability to automatically start the engine. To activate this function, you will need to purchase an additional unit - a remote start module and integrate it into the system.

The hourly start command is executed after pressing the key twice with the lock open and once with the lock closed.

Tomahawk TV 7010: connection diagram

If you have installation instructions (see), the ability to read alarm diagrams and a set of tools, you can install the system on your car yourself. In the process you will need:

insulating tape or heat shrink tubing;
a set of tools for removing decorative interior panels;
screwdrivers and ratchet with attachments;
soldering accessories, hot air gun;
multitester or light bulb to check the serviceability of connections.

First, all nodes are connected outside the car, and the performance of the system is tested. Then each part is installed in its place. Afterwards they are connected to each other via factory connectors. A test run is carried out and alarm parameters are configured. The instructions clearly indicate the location of each block.

Door limit switches are mounted in places where dampness cannot harm them and cause corrosion. A similar rule applies to the hood and luggage compartment limit switches.
The central processor is hidden inside the cabin, behind decorative panels. It is important to provide access to it to read the parameters.
The shock sensor is located near the A-pillar in an accessible place to make adjustments if necessary.
The power wires are connected through a fuse of the appropriate amperage, and all cable joints are insulated with tape or tubes.
The antenna is located at the highest part of the machine, but away from metal parts that could potentially cause interference.
The indication LED is mounted in a visible place under the windshield so that the owner can quickly determine the current state of the system.
The siren horn is located under the hood, but so that hot parts cannot melt its body.
The Override key is hidden in places hidden from the view of an attacker.

Key Features

Description of the main functions and features of the Tomahawk 7010:

The complex is equipped with a signal anti-scanner. It is designed to protect transmitted pulses from interception and scanning. The developer claims that hacking the alarm is impossible.
Availability of a non-volatile memory module in the control unit. This allows you to save alarm information when the power is turned off. Further activation of the battery will cause the system to return to its original state.
Using a two-level touch shock sensor. The device allows you to determine not only physical impacts on the body, but also movement near the vehicle. All information is transmitted to the remote control with a screen.
Panic function. Its operating principle is to activate the car's headlights and alarms when receiving a command from the pager. The option helps scare away possible intruders from the car.
Automatic reset to security mode. This function allows you to restore vehicle protection if it is accidentally disabled.
Bypassing non-working security zones. When set to protection, the alarm monitors the state of all elements connected to the control unit. Data about this is displayed on the key fob display.
"Search for a car." Activating the option causes the lights to blink when receiving a corresponding command from the pager. This allows you to find a vehicle left in a large parking lot.
Determination of low battery in the key fob. The status indication is shown on the screen in the form of a battery icon, just like on mobile phones. This allows the car owner to timely determine the failure of the battery and replace it.
Use of additional channels. They are intended to control electrical equipment such as power windows, sunroof, seat adjustment, and folding mirrors. It is also possible to control the operation of the trunk door lock. The function is user programmable.
Activating the security mode on a car with the engine running.
Possibility of connecting additional sensors and regulators.
Two-step security deactivation. The user can configure the security mode control using the remote control and an individual password.
Possibility of remote shutdown of the shock regulator and additional devices. The user can deactivate only one zone of sensor operation - the warning zone, and leave the alarm zone.
Delay for turning off the light in the car interior. The user independently sets the interval at which the lighting will work for a certain time after turning off the ignition and activating the security function.
Blocking the car engine when setting protection. Activation and deactivation of the option is carried out using relays with normally closed and open contacts. In one state the device works, in another it does not.
Built-in central locking (CL), providing additional security for the machine.
Using a relay to connect car lighting devices.
Possibility of separate control of central locking on a vehicle with the engine running.
The “Anti-robbery” function blocks the operation of the engine during a robbery attack on a car. The alarm automatically recognizes a power grab based on readings from the handbrake and pedal sensors. The engine stops automatically after a gap that will allow the criminal to move away to a safe distance from the user. The time is configured by the consumer and can range from 30 to 60 seconds. This allows you to protect the car owner.
Using a personal code to gain access to the service mode and security functions.
Warning the car owner about unlocked doors before driving.
Possibility of using the standard steering horn to play alarm signals. The option is programmed during installation. The horn can be configured to work together with a siren or without it.

Where is the Override button?

The Override service key is responsible for emergency disabling of the alarm (useful when the owner has lost the key fob), setting up user parameters (via programming mode) or temporarily disabling security functions (to transfer the car to a service or service station). An important button must be hidden from the eyes of an attacker. The user is told where the key is located, but if he does not know its location, then it is worth checking:

under the central tunnel;
the area under the steering column, near the pedals;
space inside the glove box;
door pockets for small items;
space near the ashtray, cigarette lighter;
the key can be located near the main fuse box, under the decorative panels.

Reviews

Victor, 49 years old:

“The system is not bad, I got it from the previous owner. But there is a minus - when in winter I tried to figure out how to enable temperature-based start, it turned out that there was no auto-start. In our climate and in my work, this is not very pleasant. I changed it to a Tomahawk with auto start, now I don’t know any grief. But I chose this manufacturer precisely because for the first six months the Tomahawk TW-7010 did not cause any problems at all - a well-made product.”

Dmitry, 36 years old:

“Good system, intuitive. For me, a person far from this, it was simple. When I lost the remote control, I quickly figured out which ones would be suitable instead, how to record the key fob and set up the alarm system for myself. I was also pleased with the price, so I think it’s a good choice in its price category.”

Owner reviews

“I’ve been using the Tomahawk alarm system for two years now. Very satisfied in almost all respects. A person I knew told security that it was impossible to hack the system. In terms of functions, it has almost everything, except that autostart would be useful. It doesn’t cause any problems, only the second remote control is covered and doesn’t work, but these are minor things - just in case, I prescribed another main one and I’m not worried about it.”

Gregory, 24 years old:

“Not a bad option for your money. At least it worked well on my car thanks to the CAN bus. During the year of operation there were no complaints. Two comrades also ride with a tomahawk, both are happy. So we can safely recommend it to those who don’t want to spend a lot, but want to get a good alarm.”

Malfunctions

There are times when the Tomahawk TW-7010 is buggy: it does not respond to the key fob, the battery runs out quickly, etc. Some problems can be solved on your own.

The car does not respond to pager commands. It is best to check the battery charge of the remote control and the car battery. Reducing the distance to the car also helps - perhaps there is too much interference nearby.
A false alarm from the system indicates that the shock sensor needs to be calibrated.
Glitches can be fixed by returning to factory settings or rolling back to earlier firmware versions.
Incorrect operation of the central locking indicates faulty limit switches.

In case of serious problems, you need to contact a service center, where competent specialists will quickly understand the situation and fix the problem.

How to properly set up a car alarm

The complex offers many secondary functions that make life much easier for the owner. They are configured through the programming mode.

With the ignition off, the Override button is pressed five times.
The ignition turns on and the car emits five beeps.
Each subsequent click of Override helps you select the appropriate function according to the table (1 click – central locking pulse length, 2 clicks – safe driving setting, etc.).
Pressing a certain button on the key fob sets the corresponding parameter.
