Keychain diagram
Starline A91 is equipped with two key fobs - main and auxiliary. The first is distinguished by the presence of a liquid crystal display on the front panel, which allows you to control various functions of the complex. The screen also displays an indication of the status of the car and the signaling itself. For example, this way you can see how the battery is running low and replace it in time.
Instructions for the Starline A93 alarm system with auto start
In addition to the display, functions are controlled using buttons, of which there are only three. They are located on the side panel of the main control panel. Each of the buttons is responsible for one of the programmable functions. In addition, using the third key you can move the cursor around the screen.
The additional key fob has four keys located on the central panel due to the lack of a display. Thanks to their larger number, the remote control can control all the main functions of the alarm, with the exception of service ones. As with the previous key fob, the capabilities of each button are programmed in accordance with the user manual.
How to setup?
To control a modern anti-theft system with a key fob, it must be linked to the alarm system; this procedure is performed as follows:
- Find the Valet service key. The button is usually installed in a hidden place so that criminals cannot gain access to it when trying to break into the car. It can be located under the glove box, steering wheel, in the fuse box, under the seat or center console. Before activating the remote control, the button is pressed seven times. The engine of the machine must be turned off.
- Then start the power unit. If the binding procedure is completed correctly, the siren will emit seven beeps. This means that key fobs can be added to the alarm memory.
- After that, press keys 2 and 3 on the remote control simultaneously. Hold them until the siren beeps. This indicates successful authorization of the remote control.
- With other key fobs, the procedure is performed in a similar way. After binding, the ignition must be turned off.
The Simple Opinion channel showed in a video the procedure for activating the Chinese signaling control panel.
Modern car alarm system
Modern car alarm systems have been in use for many years. Once it was a luxury, but now it is convenience and safety.
Car alarms are 12 volt devices. Has interactive authorization. Each alarm has its own encryption keys. They also have a function for remotely starting the car engine according to the time set on the timer or starting is carried out according to the temperature readings of the internal combustion engine (when the engine temperature drops below the specified one, the engine starts).
The functions that Sherkhan Magikar 5 and the Leopard alarm can perform are the same. The only differences are in the operating range, reliability, and ease of use.
How to connect?
A typical connection diagram for the Starline A91 “signaling” is presented in the operating and installation instructions that come with the kit. Depending on the machine and the characteristics of the vehicle's electrical network, the procedure for connecting the wires may have certain differences.
How should the 18-pin alarm control module connector be connected:
- The black contact is grounding, connected to the car body or any negative wire.
- The connector has a loop with a black cable. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, then you do not need to touch it. If there is a manual transmission, then the loop should be cut.
- The black-green and yellow-green contacts are connected to the turn signal lights.
- The gray contact is intended for connecting power to the siren.
- The black and blue cable goes to the limit switches mounted in the doors.
- The gray-orange contact connects to the hood limit switch. This wiring is connected to the power unit temperature controller.
- The white and orange cable is connected to the tailgate end switch.
- The pink cable connects to the negative terminal of the immobilizer bypass.
- The black-gray cable is used to control the signal from the generator device; this is necessary to implement auto-start of the motor.
- The purple-orange contact must be connected to the parking brake.
Connecting an 18-pin connector
To connect a six-pin plug designed for autostarting the engine, do the following:
- The red contact is positive, connected to the positive of the pink wire of the central locking.
- The yellow cable is the output for maintaining the ignition.
- There is no need to touch the blue contact.
- This connector has two yellow and black contacts - one thicker, the other thinner. You need to proceed with them as follows - cut the red cable at the ignition switch, after which the thick wire is connected to the starter device, and the thin wire to the lock.
- There is no need to touch the green contact, it is not activated.
When connecting, you must take into account the pinout of the lock:
- blue contact - positive output for the inserted key controller;
- black wire - a minus is formed when the doors are open;
- red contact - positive, connected to the starter device;
- blue-black output - positive, forms a plus after ignition activation;
- green contact - forms a plus in the circuit after installing the key;
- the white wire goes to the LED bulb;
- The pink contact connects to the positive terminal of the battery.
How to connect to the central locking with your own hands:
- The blue contact is connected to the white output of the lock;
- the yellow cable must be connected to the brown terminal;
- To synchronize the operation of the anti-theft installation and the lock, an activator must be installed in the driver's door.
To connect limit switches, new switches are installed instead of the installed ones; the pinout of the connector is as follows:
- the blue-white contact is connected to the switch in the driver's door;
- the black and white output is connected to the limit switch in the left rear door;
- the brown wire connects to the device in the door on the front right;
- The white/red cable goes to the rear right door limit switch.
Specifications
The Starline A91 signaling operates at a carrier frequency when transmitting pulses in the range from 433.05 to 434.79 MHz. 128 frequency channels are used to control the system. The maximum range of the main key fob when transmitting commands is 800 m, receiving signals is 2000 m. The additional key fob works at a distance of up to 15 m from the car. These performance may be reduced by terrain, weather, and electromagnetic interference.
The alarm operates in a wide temperature range: -40…+85 °C. The shock sensor is of the piezoelectric type. The anti-theft system operates from an on-board network with a voltage of 9-18 V. In protection mode, the alarm system should not consume more than 25 mA of electric current. The main key fob is equipped with a 1.5 V AAA battery, and the additional key fob is equipped with a 3 V CR2450 battery. A modified version of the system is supplied with the Starline A91 Dialog instructions.

Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages of the anti-theft installation:
- Simple installation and convenient operation. The installation procedure can be performed by a novice motorist if he takes into account all the nuances described in the installation instructions. The anti-theft system is controlled via remote controls with an interactive menu.
- Reliable machine protection. The system protects the car in several zones. During the development, solutions were used that provide maximum protection for the car.
- Extensive functionality. In the service menu, the car owner can configure more than 25 control options.
- Ability to work in extreme conditions, we are talking about areas with strong interference.
- Possibility of uninterrupted functioning of the security system when operating in harsh temperature conditions.
- The alarm system has a special antenna designed to search for key fobs. If the remote control is lost and it is within the range of the device, the car owner will quickly find it.
- Versatility. Installation of an anti-theft installation is possible on any car, regardless of model and year of manufacture.
User Stas World in his video talked about how to correctly configure the anti-theft system to automatically start the engine based on a timer or temperature.
As for the disadvantages, this alarm model is characterized by the following breakdowns:
- The automatic start option does not work correctly. The cause of the problem may be due to the absence of an immobilizer bypass device; this element is installed when installing the “signaling system”. The malfunction may be due to a lack of connection to the engine control circuit, as well as a damaged or broken power circuit. If the problem is with the contacts, they must be replaced. The cause of the problem may be a low battery.
- The car alarm siren activates for no reason. The malfunction may be due to a very high sensitivity level of the shock controller. We recommend resetting the sensor and reassigning the configuration. The problem may be insufficient fixation of the control module or impact controller. The above system components should be firmly fixed.
- The car alarm does not respond to the car owner's commands. First, the fault should be looked for in the key fob batteries; if they are discharged, then these elements must be replaced. The problem may be due to a discharge or failure of the battery. Sometimes the reason is due to failures in the key fob settings. This problem can be solved by reprogramming.
- The alarm system responds to signals from key fobs, but does not close or open the car doors. This malfunction is usually associated with the operation of the anti-theft system. It is necessary to check the wiring, the condition of the limit switches, as well as the control module.
