How to determine the car alarm model using the Starline key fob

When you buy a car second-hand, you usually get an already installed alarm system. However, the accompanying papers are lost, and the owner’s ignorance of the exact model is far from uncommon. Therefore, if you later have to face the need to change the alarm settings, you will first need to figure out how to recognize the Starline car alarm model by the appearance of the key fob. Considering the width of the model range (with all previous generations of models), this is not so simple.

Four lines of keychains: characteristic features

You can determine the Starline alarm model by the appearance of the main key fob. Difficulties may arise when classifying a system by a spare remote control without feedback - different models often have no differences.

Help in determining:

• characteristic shape of the remote control;
• control buttons and their location;
• indicators on the display.

Model range A

The characteristic antenna of the key fob will help you identify whether the car alarm belongs to older Starline models. It is protected by a black casing separate from the body.

Keychain Starline A4

In addition, you can identify a specific model by the icons on the display:

• StarLine A4 features a large car image;
• you can distinguish Starline A6 from A8/A9 by the icons on the left side of the key fob;
• Starline A61 and A91 Dialog key fobs are similar to the B series models, but the inscriptions on the display are in Russian;
• the more modern A64/A94 and A63/A93 are radically different from the earlier A-series models.

Model range B

In Starline B series alarm communicators, the antenna is combined with the processor in a monolithic housing. The figured protrusion with notches has become a characteristic feature of the keychains of this model range.

Signal remote control B6 and B9 can only be distinguished by the inscriptions on the display - they have different icons on the bottom row.

Differences between key fobs models B6/B9

The remote controls of more modern models B62/B92 are distinguished by smoothed edges. The latest generation of the B series retained a similar body, but the display changed from LCD to OLED.

Model range C

The C series keychains are distinguished by a two-color body and a characteristic thin plastic eyelet for a carbine. Externally they are identical, they differ in the location of the icons on the display. Photos of model range C communicators are presented below.

Model range D

StarLine D series systems are aimed at SUVs - the key fobs are large, and the displays depict a jeep. The devices look similar to each other, they can only be distinguished by functionality - the D94 differs from the D64 in the presence of autostart.

Model range E

The differences between the E60 and E90 alarms are in the bottom row of icons. Models E65 and E95 are characterized by a vertical screen that replicates the interface of a mobile application.

Model identification by built-in functions

If it is not possible to determine the exact alarm model using the key fob, you can try to identify the system by its functions. Each brand has its own options and characteristic operating modes; if the alarm is installed correctly, then all of them should function. For example, all models with auto start will definitely have the number “9” in the name, which significantly narrows the search range. The procedure for enabling options can be found in the instructions for the specific model.

An overview of the Starline alarm key fob and control of its buttons is presented by the REALAUT0 channel.

How to identify a model by markings?

You can determine the brand and model of the alarm system by the markings, which are located on the back cover of the control key fob. To do this, you need to turn the device over and find a sticker with a barcode on it. Below it is a line that begins with the identification number of the security system instance, consisting of 8 characters (for example, ID: NJQ578LO). Then, after a space, the signaling model is written, usually consisting of 1 letter and 1-2 numbers. In the same way, you can determine the type of security system using a spare key fob.

Determining the brand from the accompanying documentation for the car

If you left accompanying documents when purchasing a car, you can determine the service center where the car was serviced or where the alarm system was installed. Specialists who have worked on the car should know its nuances and the model of additional equipment. The service may have stored documents relating to your vehicle.

The fastest and easiest way to determine the alarm model is to contact a service that specializes in the sale and installation of security systems. Employees of these centers can easily determine the type of alarm installed on the car. Loading …

Characteristic features of Starline lines

Characteristic differences between Starline alarm units without or with feedback:

• unique shape of the keychain;
• body color;
• screen orientation type;
• number and location of control buttons;
• icons on the remote control display and their purpose;
• antenna type (external or built-in).

Model range A

Key fobs of the Starline A-model anti-theft system (Twage A4, A6, A8, A9) can be described as follows:

1. These remote controls are characterized by the presence of an external antenna located on the left side of the device. It is 2 centimeters long and is protected by a black plastic cap that is removable.
2. StarLine A4 stands out from the rest due to the large image of the car with the inscription “BRAKE” on the windshield.
3. A9 and A8 differ from A6 in the greenish tint of the lower icons on the display and a different set of icons on the left side of the screen.

Similar models have been discontinued and are found on vehicles manufactured in 2000 or earlier.

The type of anti-theft system key fobs of the Twage A4, A6, A8, A9 model range are shown in the photo:

Features of the A61 and A91 models (no longer produced):

• they are similar to B-model devices, but, unlike them, are completely Russified;
• the antenna, as in the Twage generation, is external, but is already completely fused with the key fob body;
• the A61 series has icons at the bottom of the display that differ from the A91 and are made in a more minimalist style.

The photo shows key fobs of models A61 and A91:

Features of the A64, A94 model line:

• the devices have the shape of a parallelepiped and are made in blue-black color with a screen frame that follows the contours of the body;
• control buttons have the same gray color;
• The A94 model has green icons on the display, while the A64 has blue icons.

The appearance of the key fobs of the A64 and A94 models is shown in the photo:

Models A63, A93 can be identified as follows:

• the key fobs of this alarm have the shape of a parallelogram with streamlined edges and are made in black and white colors;
• there are 4 buttons on the top of the case, one of which is larger than the others and painted red;
• older types A63 and A93 have a horizontal screen orientation, while those released later have a vertical screen orientation;
• Visually, the A-models 93 and 63 are no different, but they can be compared by the presence of an autostart function: the latter does not have it.

Model range B

The Starline security complex B-models - B6 and B9 have the following features:

• key fobs are similar to devices of the A61/91 model: the external antenna is combined with the remote control in a monolithic case in the same way;
• however, there are differences between the A and B series in the lower icons - in the latter, the inscriptions on the pictograms are two-line, and the hood and headlights of the car depicted are black;
• The B6 and B9 signaling panels can be distinguished by the presence of a thermometer icon on the ninth model.

The photo shows key fobs of models B6 and B9:

You can identify key fobs of models B62, B92 by the following criteria:

• The type of body of these key fobs is distinguished by its rounded shape and orange buttons;
• The B62, compared to the B92, does not have icons for engine auto-start based on a timer and temperature in the engine compartment;
• The latest generation of the B series retained a similar body, but the display changed from LCD to OLED.

Appearance of the key fob for models B62/B92

You can determine the key fob of models B64, B94 as follows:

• the devices have exactly the same body as the B62/92;
• The display has a wider range of functions, for example, it has a shock/tilt sensor and supports PIN code authorization.

At the moment, these models are discontinued and are found on cars of an earlier year of production.

Model range C

Features of Starline car alarm key fobs C-model (C4, C6, C9):

• have a blue plastic body with a thin and unreliable carbine eye (on the right side), which often breaks;
• They are identical in appearance, but differ in the location of the icons on the display.

Control units of the Starline C-model security complex:

Model range D

Starline D-model security system remotes (D64, D94) are manufactured specifically for “J” class cars (crossover, SUV), so the key fob display shows a car of this particular type.

• the control unit housing has a strict rectangular shape with a thin black frame around the display and is available in two colors: red and blue;
• the 94 series is produced with auto-start of the internal combustion engine (internal combustion engine), unlike the 64;
• The D94 has a different set of icons at the bottom of the screen, for example, there is no silent mode icon, instead there is a symbol in the form of a thermometer.

At the moment, the manufacturer continues to supply D series models, developing new modifications of appearance.

Images of the Starline D-series anti-theft complex remotes:

Model range E

Starline car alarm key fobs E-models E60, E90:

• The remote control of this series has the shape of a rectangle and is quite recognizable due to the presence of white body elements;
• the buttons for activating and deactivating the security mode have a raised icon of a closed and open lock, respectively;
• Both models differ in the set of icons in the bottom row of the screen: for the E60 series it is identical to the D64, and for the E90 it is similar to the D94.

Possible faults

Even the most expensive anti-theft system may experience problems.

Below we will talk about malfunctions that are typical for Mongoose car alarms:

1. The device does not arm the car from the key fob. In this case, the cause may be either a malfunction of the key fob itself or problems in the operation of the central signaling unit.
2. The doors do not lock when the vehicle is put into protection. As a rule, in this case the essence of the problem is that the central locking of the device does not work or the unit itself has failed. It is necessary to diagnose the unit and also check the wiring. If only one door does not close, this may indicate a broken cable that will need to be replaced.
3. Quite often, car enthusiasts are faced with a non-functional trunk opening option; this is only relevant for models that provide this function.
4. If the alarm turns on for no reason, this may indicate that the shock sensor is incorrectly configured.

Model identification by built-in functions

You can determine from the key fob which Starline brand alarm system is installed by the functions displayed on the device display in the form of icons. For example, the option to autostart the internal combustion engine is present only in models with the number “9”, and alarms A6/A9 and A91 do not have the ability to work with the CAN module.

A car owner who knows all the functions of the control panel can easily determine the model of the Starline security system using the table:

An overview of the Starline alarm key fob and control of its buttons is presented by the “REALAUT0” channel.

Instructions for use and setting up the key fob

According to the instructions for use, before you begin setting up and using the communicator, you must:

1. Completely remove the original packaging from the device.
2. Open the back cover of the key fob by sliding it to the side and install the battery (type CR2032 - 2 pcs. or AAA - 1 pc.), observing the polarity.
3. Make sure that the control panel is in an area of ​​stable connection with the system. In this case, the icon on the communicator display indicating the connection quality must have at least 2 active bars.

Designation of symbols and buttons on the key fob

Using the symbols on the display of the main key fob, the user receives information about the status of the anti-theft system. Each remote control of the Alligator security complex has an indication of the signal, battery charge, and also shows the alarm level.

Using Internet services

You can determine the Starline car alarm model using the key fob using the following Internet services:

1. The official Starline website contains an online catalog of both existing alarm models and discontinued samples. Each security system presented on the resource has an image of a control key fob. The user has the opportunity to visually compare his remote control with the pictures posted on the website and identify the model range and device number.
2. In addition to official sources, you can use the resource “Theft. No ". It also contains images of key fobs of various alarm brands, including Starline. In addition, the specialists of this site have created a community where the car owner has the opportunity to post a photo of the remote control and receive comments from other users who may know the answer.
3. There is another option for identifying the device - using the Google image search engine. You should take a photo of the keychain, preferably in good quality, and upload the image to the search. Google will find all similar images, under which the car owner can look at the name of the model and determine which series it belongs to.

Searching for a photo of a key fob on Google is done step by step like this:

How to choose a spare key fob for a car alarm

In this article we will tell you how to choose a key fob for a car alarm.
Search for a model, search for a car alarm model by serial number, how to determine the manufacturer of a car alarm, search for a car alarm model using a photo of a key fob. For Starlin manufacturers, your car alarm key fob or tag may be lost or damaged.

In our catalog you can choose and buy key fobs for Starline Pandora car alarms.

Search for a spare key fob based on the alarm model.

To select a key fob or tag, you need to find out the car alarm model that you had installed.

The model name can be found in the documents for the car alarm - warranty card, work order, on the packaging box, if any remain.

If there are no documents left for the car alarm, it’s too early to worry. You need to find the car alarm serial number.

How to determine the alarm model by serial number.

The serial number can be written in several places:

1. On the key fob itself under the battery compartment cover.
2. In the tag (small additional keychain) under the back cover. You will need to disassemble the label itself.
3. On the body of the remote antenna. By the way, the manufacturer of the car alarm can be determined by the type of antenna. We look into the corners of the windshield and look for a similar module.
4. On the owner's card (in the documents for the car alarm).
5. On the car alarm box.
6. In the warranty card for the car alarm.
7. On the main car alarm unit, but to do this you will have to disassemble the car console.

If the serial number is found, then determining the car alarm model will not be difficult.

Determining the Starline car alarm model by serial number.

For StarLine everything is quite simple. Looks at the first numbers, for example,

A93W311... – this means that you have installed the StarLine A93 model, produced in November 2013. (instead of 9 there can be X - that means either 6 or 9 - without autorun or with it)

Determining the Pandora car alarm model by serial number.

Knowing the serial number, we will use the company’s resource to determine the model

https://manuals.alarmtrade.ru/warranty/ for example, for the serial number

2730101148773

We will get a result that shows the key fob model and the car alarm model.

Search for a car alarm model using a photo of the key fob.

There is also a somewhat non-standard solution. If you still have a keychain, you can use an image search on Google. Take a photo of the keychain, upload the photo and click search by image. Next, we examine the search result. Detailed instructions here.

Tested, it works quite well, but the background of the picture must be monochromatic.

Please note that this tool may make a series selection error. Therefore, it should be used to determine the manufacturer and approximate model of a car alarm (the frequency and functionality of the key fob may differ from series to series)

Video

You can identify the type of Starline alarm system using the key fob by reading the video review of the Starline security system model range. Presented by the channel “Avtokasta. ru".

When you buy a car second-hand, you usually get an already installed alarm system. However, the accompanying papers are lost, and the owner’s ignorance of the exact model is far from uncommon. Therefore, if you later have to face the need to change the alarm settings, you will first need to figure out how to recognize the Starline car alarm model by the appearance of the key fob. Considering the width of the model range (with all previous generations of models), this is not so simple.

Starline alarm models discontinued

Different types of StarLine alarms used different types of main key fobs. On discontinued Twage generation A-series alarm systems (A2, A4, A6, A8, A9), a main key fob with a characteristic thin antenna was used, protected by a separate housing element.

StarLine A6:

StarLine A4:

This is where the keychain cracks when worn frequently in your pocket. Unlike the A-series, the B-series, produced simultaneously with it and belonging to the same generation, used a more durable key fob, where the body consisted of only two halves, and the antenna was covered by a figured protrusion.

Alarm StarLine B9:

StarLine B6:

In the C series of the same generation, the key fob retained the general features of the B-series, but had a two-color case with a different disassembly principle. The “disease” of the C-series is cracks in the eyelet to which the carabiner is attached.

Modern models

The cheapest A-series uses different key fobs depending on the generation. StarLine A93/A63 initially used a key fob in the shape of a beveled parallelepiped; the protrusion of the first button was retained.

However, this car alarm has become an enviable long-liver, and to “refresh” the appearance, the key fob on the latest series was modified, receiving a display in the style of modern fifth-generation alarms (alarms with auto start), but unlike them - in traditional, and not inverse, colors.

On the Starline A39 and A36 alarm systems (these are the same A93 and A63, but supplied exclusively to car dealerships), the key fob was used unchanged from the base model. The key fob did not change in the “economical” configuration of the A93 ECO, but in the A63 ECO it was updated.

Subsequently, a “full-fledged” fourth-generation A-series entered the market. These alarms were distinguished by the original integration of the CAN module in all trim levels and the shape of the key fob - the designers returned to the days of Dialog Flex alarms.

Simultaneously with the release of the fourth generation of StarLine alarms, the company’s marketers identified a separate line of alarms for SUVs, calling it the D-series. The “off-road” series alarms did not have any real differences in design, except for the new rectangular key fob. The Starline D64 and D94 alarm key fobs were sold in two colors: blue and red. At the same time, unlike the A61 4x4 and A91 4x4, the fourth button of the key fob is functional, and the key fobs themselves are absolutely identical in appearance.

In the B series, the “soap” keychains were preserved; the display in them also did not change.

The E series after the update (models E60.1, E90.1, E61.1, E91.1, E63, E93) did not change the design of the key fob. The key fob was updated only in the fifth generation (Starline E95, E65). The screen changed its orientation to vertical, the graphics on it were unified with the interface of the StarLine mobile application:

The fifth generation Series A received the same screen.

StarLine series D is easily recognizable by its rectangular red body. The updated inverse display has moved here too.

And finally, sixth generation alarm systems have entered the market. The B series and the new X series added to it are recognizable by the previously familiar “remnant” of the B-series, and the display orientation has again become horizontal, but the inverse coloring has been preserved from the fifth generation alarms. Instead of an LCD screen, OLED is now used.

Starline A66 and A96 again received a beveled key fob body, but now they have a new screen, and a color one at that.

The E-series abandoned the vertical screen orientation, and the screen itself now looks much simpler and cheaper than in the fifth generation. This is not surprising - now the E-series itself is positioned as cheaper, while in the fifth generation it was one of the most sophisticated.
