Conclusion The Scher-Khan Magicar 13 car alarm is a worthy domestic competitor to its foreign analogues. The main advantage of the model is the signal reception radius of 3000 m. The multi-factor arming and disarming system is an additional pleasant bonus for the future owner.
Considering the high cost of the accessory, it is not advisable to purchase Sherkhan 13 for installation on budget cars. It is worth betting on at least the middle price segment of the technical product.
As for the installation location, the answer is clear - a workshop, a certified service station. Handicraft methods are not advisable, since the design of the signal is quite complex.

- We make 20 presses on button 4.
- We are waiting for the siren to emit a similar number of sound notifications.
- Activate the option with button 2.
How to set the warm-up interval
To select the desired time interval after which the engine will automatically start, set function 1-12 to position 2.

The detailed guidance for performing this action is as follows:
- First, the user needs to activate the programming mode by setting function 1-12. To do this, long press buttons 1 and 12 until the corresponding sound alert sounds.
- Next, you should wait for a 12-fold response from the siren and select the optimal warm-up range. Using button 1 you can set a 5-minute interval, button 2 - 15 minutes, button 3 - 25 minutes, and button 4 - 45 minutes.
