The main difference in alarm configurations belonging to different market segments is the number of shock and tilt sensors.

The Eco version is considered one of the most affordable in terms of cost. This alarm model has standard functions aimed at ensuring vehicle safety.

This is about:

• security code with individual encryption keys;
• increased level of energy efficiency;
• a stable pulse regardless of conditions, we are talking about protection against interference;
• control of the communication channel and self-diagnosis.

The model uses service channels for setting up and servicing the anti-theft system. The owner of the car independently adjusts the sensitivity of the controllers, the volume of the siren and other functions.

A detailed overview of the model is given in the video filmed by the Avtoteatr 74 channel.

It is possible to integrate modules, including:

• a device for accessing a car without a key, it all depends on the specific car and the module equipped with a CAN bus;
• GSM block;
• CAN LIN or 2CAN 2LIN module, if the vehicle supports them.

The main disadvantage of this version of the alarm is the lack of advanced security options and monitoring functions.

This configuration is more advanced; by default, it has the following options:

• noise immunity;
• interactive code protection;
• ability to work in a wide temperature range;
• resistance of the control module and other system elements to voltage surges in the on-board network;

User Andrey Zamkovoy spoke about the features of the application for this model of anti-theft systems.

CAN LIN

This version does not use advanced long-range monitoring options. But if necessary, this drawback can be eliminated by adding additional units to the on-board network. These models of anti-theft systems are not intended for installation on older types of cars. If you install an alarm system on such a car, some of the functions will be unavailable to the car owner due to the lack of necessary connectors. Regarding compatibility, we recommend consulting with the seller or visiting the official Starline website.

The CAN LIN model has the following features:

• security code with individual encryption key;
• noise-protected channel;
• increased level of energy efficiency;
• the ability to control the communication channel;
• self-diagnosis option, which allows you to identify non-working areas and individual components of the anti-theft installation;

• authorization function using a personal password;
• Hidden car lock option;
• availability of keyless access.

2CAN 2LIN

The 2CAN 2LIN model is similar to the alarm system described above in the presence of control modules. In its basic version, this anti-theft system does not contain advanced options for monitoring the car over a long distance. If necessary, you can additionally install GPS and GSM modules, this will correct the shortcoming.

The Garage Amateur channel showed in a video the process of unpacking this “alarm” model.

Basic alarm options 2CH 2LIN:

• protection by dialogue from signal interception;
• noise immunity;
• wide operating temperature range;
• possibility of stable operation during voltage surges in the machine’s electrical network;
• possibility of self-diagnosis;
• communication channel monitoring function.

This model has the same functions as the KAN LIN alarm system. There are almost no fundamental differences between these versions; they all lie in compatibility with different car models. A more advanced option is ideal for those who require high-quality protection, but monitoring functions are not important. The use of modern technologies in production allows us to prevent the possibility of signal interception.

This version of the anti-theft installation is considered one of the most advanced among the model range. The alarm system is a full-fledged security complex that has many functions and provides high-quality protection thanks to the remote monitoring systems used. One of the main features is the presence of a crypto-resistant dialog code. The anti-theft system can be installed on cars manufactured between 2010 and 2020 and sold in the Russian Federation and the CIS countries.

The system implements dialogue protection, as well as an interference immunity option. The alarm can operate in wider temperature ranges, and power surges in the on-board network will not affect its functionality in any way. The anti-theft installation has the same functions and equipment as the two models described above. The only difference is the maximum range of options required to protect the machine.

Functions

The functions and capabilities of Starline alarms are quite extensive. They include the following items:

1. “Super Slay” option, which guarantees enhanced protection according to three principles: dialogue encoding, standard security system and validator-blocker of the power unit. To change the alarm settings, the user uses a flip or simple key.
2. GSM-GPRS and GLONASS modules are used as communication and positioning interfaces. The presence of telematics makes it possible to effectively track the coordinates of the vehicle via a smartphone. Any data about the condition of the car and its location will be transmitted in the form of SMS messages to a mobile phone. The user is also given the opportunity to use the official web resource.
3. Ability to operate in conditions with increased radio noise. Protective capabilities are provided by a 128-channel transceiver.
4. 3D shock sensor with the ability to remotely change operating parameters. Its presence allows the user to track the fact that the car has been stolen or towed.
5. Remote start of the power unit based on temperature or time interval.
6. Saving battery life. With this feature, the user can extend the battery life up to 2 months when using protective mode. This is due to proprietary technologies and software solutions that reduce electrical energy consumption.
7. Flexible service channels for setting up the Starline A93 alarm, light indication and other functions. The user can independently control mirrors, seat adjustments and other parameters.

Advantages and disadvantages

If you study the reviews of owners and specialists about Starline, they will include both positive and negative aspects. The advantages include:

1. The ability to remotely start a car power plant and start driving in a warm car. To set up a remote start of the power unit, you do not need to look for special components and elements.
2. Using engine and interior temperature sensors, it is possible to select automatic start based on temperature values.
3. Expansion of basic options by installing additional modules and accessories.
4. A complete set that includes important elements and accessories for self-assembly.
5. Feedback support, which provides the driver with full control over the state of his vehicle, signaling and engine.
6. Easy to set up and maintain.

In addition to the advantages, Starline signaling also has disadvantages. First of all, it is unprofitable to use on cars manufactured before 2010. An old car is simply not capable of using the advanced functions of a security system, because... does not have corresponding nodes and interfaces.

Users also note frequent malfunctions of the communicator, especially after intensive use. They are explained by a malfunction of the working elements due to the incorrect functioning of the pager from the moment of purchase; This may be due to increased levels of radio interference or a manufacturing defect.

The disadvantages also include the inconsistency with the “price + quality” ratio. Many drivers claim that the model is unreasonably expensive.

Setting up Starline A93 key fob, alarm programming table

The StarLine A93 car security system, as you know, has many functions that are available by default. Let's look at the key fob controls: there are 4 conditionally numbered buttons (from left to right). The key fob interface is controlled by short, long, sequential and simultaneous presses of a combination of buttons responsible for different commands.

• To turn on the security mode, you need to briefly press the first button, to disable this mode, press the second button (shortly).
• By pressing the third button (briefly), a survey of the vehicle’s condition is carried out, while the car’s battery voltage and the temperature inside the cabin are displayed on the LCD screen.
• A double short press on the fourth button searches for a car in the parking lot, and the engine temperature is displayed on the screen.
• When you press the first button (long) and then the second (short), it turns on the silent security mode. This mode is disabled by long pressing the second button, and then by short pressing it.
• Long simultaneous pressing of the first and third buttons turns on the “Anti-robbery” or “Panic” mode, and an alarm is triggered to scare away intruders. You can turn off this mode by briefly pressing the second button.
• The buttons are locked by briefly simultaneously pressing the second and fourth buttons, and in order to unlock the key fob, you need to briefly and simultaneously press the first and fourth buttons.
• A short double press of the first button turns on or off the shock sensor of the first zone; when pressed again, the shock sensor of the second zone is checked. To exit this menu, you need to make a short double press on the first button again.
• Double short press of the third button enables or disables the tilt/motion sensor.

Setting up 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"

The sensitivity of the shock sensor is adjusted when the security is disarmed, by pressing the third button (for a long time) and then by pressing it briefly. The first zone is turned on, the sensitivity of which can be changed by briefly pressing the second (more) and third key (less).

When you press the third button again (long) and then briefly, we go into the alarm setting mode based on the sensitivity of the second zone, here the control is the same as in the first zone. To save the setting, you need to press the same keys as to enter the menu.

In order to adjust the sensitivity of the tilt sensor, you need to disable the security mode and press the fourth button (long), then the same button (short). Control is performed by the second (more) and third (smaller) buttons. To save the setting, you need to press the same key combination as to enter the menu.

To switch to the manual function selection mode of Starline A93, you need to hold down the second or third button for 3 seconds. By short pressing button 3 we move the cursor to the right, and by short pressing button 2 we move the cursor to the left. In this menu, you can select the functions of starting the car engine by alarm clock, by timer, or by temperature (buttons 1,2,3 respectively).

The fourth point is called “Service mode”, which is set to transfer the car to a service station. The "Turbo" icon is intended for vehicles equipped with diesel engines with a turbo timer. Enabling the “Auto” function allows you to automatically arm the car 10 seconds after all doors are closed.

“Immo” mode, or immobilizer - in this mode, the car engine will be blocked from unauthorized starting 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off, and it can be unlocked by briefly pressing the second button of the key fob.

Setting up the key fob, or rather its additional functions, is done in a separate menu, which is entered by long pressing the fourth key for 5 seconds.

Here you can set the current time, alarm time, enable/disable alarm functions, countdown timer and enable/disable it.

Here you can increase the volume of the action confirmation signal, as well as select a quieter or silent mode, in which only the vibration of the key fob will work. Also in this menu there is a function for selecting the alarm sound from two options: siren, or trill, as well as adjusting the volume of the siren.

Why autorun doesn't work

There are plenty of reasons for autostart not working on the Starline A93. But in most cases they are explained by incorrect mode settings or improper condition of the vehicle.

I’ll tell you briefly about the installation because... If someone installs this alarm on their own, there is almost no information on installing this alarm on this car. Before installation, I scoured the Internet myself, but there were no instructions. There are installation instructions from the official Starline website for the Starline E90 CAN+LIN alarm system, but the information regarding the electrical package control unit is slightly incorrect there. Yes, and I simplified the task a little in terms of laying the wires. I won’t describe the whole process in full, because it’s very long and why should you read unnecessary information)))). I will only indicate the connection points.

Briefly about the diagram: 1) I removed the first connector (central locking control), 6-pin, completely because... the central locking is controlled from the CAN+LIN bus 2) The second connector (4-pin) is left unchanged 3) From the third connector (10-pin) I removed everything except the GRAY and PINK wire 4) From the fourth connector (6-pin) I removed everything except BLUE-RED and ORANGE-GRAY 5) On the power unit I left RED, YELLOW and YELLOW-BLACK 6) I removed the engine lock relay.

The rest is unchanged.

Now briefly about the installation: 1) I threw two positive wires from the battery for the power module and the alarm unit, the ground can be taken anywhere. 2) We throw three wires to the dashboard connector. This is BLUE-RED (parking brake), BROWN AND BROWN-RED (this is the CAN bus) from the CAN+LIN interface connector. We connect the blue-red to the brown-blue in the dashboard connector according to the diagram (this is the handbrake)

We connect the brown and brown-red ones with the CAN+LIN interface in parallel to the yellow-red and gray wires in the dashboard connector. in order - brown to gray, and brown-red to yellow-red.

3) LIN bus (white-red and white-blue) with CAN+LIN connected from the electrical package control unit.

4) We also connect the hood switch (white and black) in the electrical package control unit.

5) Connect the power module to the wires in the ignition switch.

6) We connect the standard immobilizer bypass to the gap of any wire (white or green)

7) I connected the turn signals in the turn signal switch connector (blue and blue-black). (DO NOT DO THIS AS THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT WORK. I don’t know what this is connected with, but I think that this connector only works through the ignition. Now I’m looking for information about the connection location). In short, in the end, it was not possible to connect the turn signals because I could not find the wiring diagram for the 2014 Priors 106 hp.

We install the temperature sensor, siren, service button, antenna and light bulb according to the instructions included in the kit.

Setting the volume of siren confirmation signals

To determine the sound volume of the Starline A93 alarm when controlling security functions, you will need:

1. Make sure that the external siren control mode is active (configured via the central unit).
2. Activate the main menu by pressing the setting key 5 times.
3. After activating the ignition, find the SOUN section on the display (switching is done using buttons with a triangle symbol).
4. Long and then short press the key located next to the button with the circle icon. The owner adjusts the volume in the range from 1 to 9, the parameter is displayed on the display. Silent operation mode involves setting the value to 1.
