Functional Features

In the official review of the Pandora DX50, the manufacturer said that this model of the security system replaced the proven Pandora LX 3257. This model has become famous due to its unsurpassed reliability and maximum warning channel distance. The new model not only retained the advantages and characteristics of its predecessor, but also introduced innovative functions, while the manufacturer offered an affordable and attractive price for the security system.

Reviews about the Pandora DX50 complex confirm its wide functionality and ability to support digital interfaces of cars not only of foreign brands, but also of domestic ones, the connection to which is carried out via LIN. Such versatility guarantees high demand for the complex, while the functionality can satisfy the most demanding customers.

Reviews

Reviews of these models say that there are practically no critical problems with their operation.

Positive	Negative
A CAN bus is used (which does not limit the capabilities of the car). Autostart, autostart programming, large communication radius of the key fob.	The price is above average, while the models in this series are not highly functional.
Quick installation, reliable vehicle protection, no false alarms.	The quality of the key fobs is very poor, they get scratched quickly, you need to buy an additional cover.
Installation is not that long and not painful. To do this, you only need to devote a couple of hours of your time, I advise everyone, I am satisfied with the quality and price. After all, the most important thing is the safety of your car, and not the price of this device.	The main disadvantage is the disgusting quality of the main key fobs, which in the case of versions of these alarms without an additional key fob sometimes turns into a serious problem. Of the 8 key fobs, 6 had various defects, from non-working buttons to lack of communication with the alarm unit.
Rich functionality. In general, the car alarm system has flexible settings and a good data transmission range, which may indicate a serious approach to development.	To connect a number of functions and configure the system, you need to contact specialists, which leads to additional costs, sometimes very large.
I have a Pandora DX50 car alarm. Convenient autostart functionality that ensures comfortable operation of the car in cold weather.	If there is significant radio interference, problems may arise with the radio signal between the key fob and the main unit of the system.

Car alarm keychain

The car alarm kit includes a key fob with a liquid crystal display that notifies the owner of a violation of any of the ten available security zones. The security system settings can be changed using the key fob; its functionality allows you to save the last ten events and view data from temperature sensors.

Innovative technologies for comfort and safety

Users leave good reviews about the Pandora DX50 system; they confirm the presence of a remote engine start function. Thanks to this option, you can start the car by pressing one key on the key fob. The function is especially convenient in the cold season, when you have to wait a long time for the car to warm up, which is not very comfortable and unsafe. For cars with turbocharged engines, a security system model with a turbo timer is provided.

A distinctive feature of the Pandora system is the built-in three-coordinate accelerometer, operating in the main three axes. The car owner is notified in real time about any impacts on the vehicle: impacts on the body, evacuation, jacking, rocking.

Replacing the alarm key fob for motorcycles

Every motorcycle owner wants to protect it from thefts. Therefore, a motorcycle alarm is an integral part of the “iron horse”. The Pandora alarm line includes brands specifically designed for motorcycles: Pandora Moto, Smart Moto, DXL 4200 Moto, 4400 moto. Next, we’ll look at how to re-register the key fob for such an anti-theft system.

Press the "Jack" button four times. Some time should pass between clicks, during which you should see red LED flashes. It is located next to the key. After the actions have been completed, the LED should blink red and green.
Press “Jack” again, the siren will sound.
Click the button on the first remote control. There will be a red flash of the LED on the key fob. The siren will emit one signal.
In the same way, enter the following key fob into the control unit’s memory.

Wide operating temperature range - the security complex can be operated at temperatures of -50 degrees Celsius.
The number of wires and connecting elements is minimal, which simplifies the installation of the system.
High precision vehicle tilt and movement sensors.
Accessible and intuitive Russified interface.

Possibilities

The DX-50 security complex is developed on the basis of the LX 3257 system. This is one of the Pandora alarm models, characterized by a high remote control range and reliability. During production, the developers were able to preserve all the advantages and main characteristics, and also added many useful options. The security complex allows you to work with digital interfaces of many modern machines of foreign and domestic production. The presence of a LIN bus allows you to connect the security system to UAZ and Lada vehicles.

The system control module is equipped with a built-in accelerometer, characterized by the presence of adaptive mathematical processing. The central unit has features that security systems from other manufacturers do not have. For example, the system protects the car from impact, as well as movement and tilt when the engine is running. The sensitivity of the shock controller is reduced automatically when the internal combustion engine is started, when the starter device is cranked, and transient processes of the power unit also occur. An intelligent algorithm monitors this and automatically increases sensitivity after starting the internal combustion engine.

The LIN and CAN interfaces are integrated with a pager option, so they are not supplied as separate devices installed in the connectors of the control module. When using external units, it must be taken into account that such devices are a potential cause of failures in the operation of the complex. Therefore, when using the DX50 Pandora, such problems can be avoided. To ensure the reliability of this model of the complex, plugs and the total number of connections are minimized. The manufacturer has also implemented the ability to bypass factory engine blockers when configuring the autostart option.

The Avtokasta channel talked about the features and capabilities of the Pandora DX50 anti-theft complex.

Autostart

The functionality of the security system includes options for automatic and remote engine start. It is most relevant in cold or hot seasons and allows you to save free time on warming up the car interior in winter or cooling it in summer. You can perform a remote start using a key fob with a liquid crystal display. With it you can program autorun. Several engine starting modes are available:

Scheduled.
Every day at the set time.
Upon reaching a certain battery charge level.
At set intervals.

The system also has a turbo timer function.

Video “Pandora alarm range test”

In the video, Dmitry Timofeev showed the results of an experiment testing the range of the Starline and Pandora security systems.

Pandora is a car alarm from a Russian manufacturer. The company began producing its products in 2004 and currently offers a large selection of models with a different set of functions and capabilities:

AES conversational encryption algorithm;
anti-key theft mode;
GSM, GPS and GLONASS;
“Active protection” mode;
validator and other functions.

Compactness of the complex

The layout of the security complex is monoblock. The main signaling module and the radio part, equipped with an 868 MHz antenna, are located in a compact central unit. Concealment of components and saving of space for placing the system are ensured due to the absence of an external wire antenna. On the body of the main unit there is a quick programming key and a micro-USB port, with which you can configure the system in detail.

False alarms of the security system are completely eliminated thanks to the digital tilt/shock/motion sensor with adaptive processing and the radio blocking relay on the Pandora DX50. The accelerometer functions and protects against tilt, impact and movement even when the car engine is running. The sensitivity of the sensor decreases only while the starter is operating. Each time the car alarm is turned on, the initial angle of the car’s position is recorded: even if it is parked at an angle, the complex will work and notify the owner.

Pandora Clone - imitation of a standard key

The Pandora DX50 car alarm is connected via a CAN bus, which reads the signal produced by the standard key and stores it. When starting remotely and giving the appropriate signal to start the engine, the system simulates the signal from the standard key, which is received by the immobilizer and allows you to start the car engine.

Keyless way to bypass the immobilizer

The security system is integrated into the vehicle's electrical system via a LIN bus. When a command to start the engine is received, the standard immobilizer is switched off by an alarm, after which a signal is sent directly to the ECU to allow starting.

Both of these options eliminate the need to manufacture chips, use additional equipment, or have a standard key in the car to implement autostart.

Reviews about the Pandora DX50 system note that this function is not implemented on all vehicle models.
