Setting up the Starline A93 key fob (programming) alarm

The Starline A93 alarm system is a multifunctional system that performs a range of different tasks.

There are four buttons on the key fob, each of which is responsible for its own function.

A short press of the first key will arm the car. Removal is carried out by briefly holding the second button.
The third one sends a request about the condition of the car, and the LCD screen displays data about the battery charge reserve and the temperature inside the car.
Fourth – searching for a car in the parking lot. The Starline alarm will sound, and the key fob screen will display information about the engine temperature.
A long press of the first key, and then a short press of the second, turns on silent mode. The Starline alarm system will not sound, but the owner will receive notifications about hacking attempts. You can turn off this mode by long-pressing the second button, and then briefly clicking on it again.
When you hold down the first and third buttons, the “Panic” function is activated. Sound and light signals are triggered, scaring away potential intruders. It turns off by briefly holding the second key.
You can lock all buttons on the Starline key fob to prevent them from being pressed accidentally. You need to press the second and fourth together. Unlocking is done by simultaneously holding down the first to fourth key.
There is an additional option to disable or enable the shock sensor, which occurs when you press 1 button twice. First the sensor of the first zone is turned off, then the second. Once held again, it will activate.
You can turn off the tilt sensor by pressing key number three twice.

In addition, the Starline A93 alarm system has a lot of other functions. Among the main tasks of the device.

Security actions. The system turns off the ignition, locks the doors and hood lock. This prevents not only car theft, but also battery theft.
Automatic heating of the power plant. You can program the motor to turn on at certain hours and heat it up to operating temperature. Additionally, you can assign interior heating.
Setting up service options. The owner of a Starline car alarm can prescribe the time for oil changes, scheduled repairs, etc. During operation, the screen will show how much time is left before a particular procedure.
Turbo timer. A useful Starline option for owners of turbocharged cars. After a fast drive, some parts of the intake tract heat up to serious temperatures. Instant shutdown of the engine negatively affects the viability of the elements. The turbo timer forces the turbine to operate until the temperature drops to normal levels, which has a positive effect on its performance.

Setting the volume of the Starline A93 key fob

The car alarm has a sound changing function. If desired, you can choose a quieter mode of operation of the Starline key fob itself or make the siren volume louder or quieter. To do this, you need to go to the settings menu by long pressing key number four (at least five seconds).

Then you have access to adjusting the signal volume - there is a silent mode. You can choose the system operation options: siren or trill.

turn on the ignition, then go to settings and scroll to the Soun section;
press button 3 for a long time, and then press it again briefly, the key fob will show the current volume value (default – 2);
use keys 2 or 3 to change the parameter in the range from 1 to 9;
We also exit the menu by long and short pressing key 3.

How to reduce sensitivity

Setting up an external shock sensor

The external shock sensor of the StarLine Twage and Dialog alarm families has two separate controls - compact trimming resistors with heads for a thin flat-head screwdriver.

There is a control LED next to each resistor - if the shock sensor is easy to see during installation, this makes setup easier. The upper trimmer is used to set a warning, the lower one sets the alarm level. If you need to configure it, it’s easier to do this:

1. Turn both trimmers counterclockwise until they stop, setting the sensitivity to minimum. 2. Set the warning sensitivity to a third, close the doors and arm the car. 3. After waiting at least 15 seconds for the alarm to activate the shock sensor, tap the windshield with your knuckles. The blows are sharp, but not strong. 4. If the warning level is sufficient, it will work. Otherwise, disarm the car, add a little sensitivity, arm the car and repeat step 3. 5. Having configured the warning level, set the alarm level to a little less than that specified by the warning setting. 6. Having armed the car and waited 15 seconds, we deliver a sharp blow to the edge of the windshield with our fist. If only a warning is triggered, add alarm sensitivity.

Setting up the built-in shock sensor

In modern StarLine alarms, shock and tilt sensors do not have any controls. Setup is carried out using a key fob or from a mobile application, which is much more convenient for the user. To configure sensors from the key fob:

disarm the car;
on the main key fob, press button 3 until a beep sounds, then press it again briefly;
a hammer icon and a number from 1 to 10 will appear on the screen, indicating the current warning level setting level;
use buttons 2 and 3 to decrease or increase sensitivity;
press button 3 again long and short;
the screen will display the alarm level setting, which can be changed using buttons 2 and 3. In this case, the number on the screen should be less than that set for the warning level;
Long and short press button 3 again to save the settings.

It's even easier to configure the shock sensor via a mobile application. Go to the Settings screen for the selected device and select Shock and Tilt Sensors. On the screen that opens, set the desired levels using the sliders and click the “Save” button.

Setting the time on the key fob

You can complete this task by following a simple procedure.

You need to enter the Starline settings mode by long pressing the fourth key on the key fob. After this, one melodic signal and two short ones will sound, and the clock values will begin to blink.
Use keys 2 or 3 to set the clock parameter up or down.
After finishing, press button 4, which will put the Starline key fob into minute setting mode. The display is carried out in a similar way.
Another press of the fourth button takes you to the alarm settings. The installation principle is carried out in the same way.
The programming mode exits automatically after 8 seconds.

Setting up autorun

The Starline A93 alarm system has the option of customizable automatic engine start:

enter the programming menu by long pressing button 3, a signal should sound, and then click on the button again;
Use buttons 2 or 3 to select the required function;
key 1 helps you select the desired value; you can set the duration of the starter operation, engine warm-up and its time;
We return to the menu by pressing the third button for a long time, and then again briefly.

Principle of operation

The microprocessor unit of the security complex ensures that the engine starts without placing the key in the ignition switch. Autostart works based on data from the built-in timer or a signal from the temperature sensor (on the engine). Automatic start allows you to warm up the motor periodically or at a user-specified time.

Built-in sensors monitor the coolant temperature or count down the time allowed for the jacket to heat up.

Then the engine is automatically turned off, and restarts are made in accordance with the selected algorithm.

Setting up the Starline A93 key fob after removing the battery

Sometimes the alarm starts to malfunction. If the reason is a deep discharge of the battery, then the battery should be replaced. However, there may be cases when the Starline car alarm will not work correctly even after installing a new part. Then you should reset to factory settings:

turn off the ignition;
press the settings button 9 times;
turn on the ignition, nine siren signals will indicate the success of the procedure;
Let's see a second reset for the second table, now you need to press the settings key ten times;
after finishing, click on the service button and listen to one siren signal;
press K1 of the key fob, the machine will make a sound, indicating a return to standard settings;
turn off the ignition, the car will blink three times with the emergency lights, indicating a successful procedure.

How to set up a Starline alarm if it goes off on its own

Most often, random activation of the StarLine alarm is associated with incorrect settings of the shock sensor. The fact is that the name “shock sensor” itself is incorrect - it is a vibration sensor, so it also responds to strong noise, road vibrations from passing trucks, and so on.

Warning level: as soon as the vibration recorded by the sensor exceeds a preset level, a short-term siren signal is activated, and the corresponding information is supplied to the key fob.
The alarm level is set higher than the warning level. In this case, the siren turns on constantly, all interlock circuits are activated, and instead of a single signal and short-term vibration, the key fob transmits signals periodically.

A properly configured and installed (this is no less important) shock sensor does not cause serious problems, and occasionally it has to be reconfigured (for example, if construction begins next to the parking lot).

Setting up a new Starline A93 alarm key fob

When purchasing a device, you will need to link it to the car. You need to know where the Valet service button is located. After that:

turn off the ignition, disarm the car, and then press the Valet key seven times;
turn on the ignition, the car will give seven light and sound signals, confirming entry into the binding mode;
press buttons 1 and 2 on the key fob;
the Starline machine and remote control will emit a signal;
When the ignition is turned off, the car will blink its headlights three times, confirming successful binding.

After this, this Starline keychain will be fully functional.

Where is

Before setting up the Starline A93 sensitivity sensor, it is important to understand where it is located. Specialists installing such systems install devices in different places:

Under the front panel.

At the base of the steering column (near the pedals).

These are the places most often recommended by the Starline manufacturer, so service station specialists follow the given rules. In this case, the devices respond more accurately to mechanical influences, and setting up the Starline A 93 shock sensor is easier. The installation location may depend on the technology used, as well as the model of the security system.

Programming table

The Starline A93 alarm system has a huge range of functions that are available for configuration. The car owner can set the auto start time, turbo timer parameters, starter operating time and many other options.

Below are programming tables for the Starline A93 car alarm, which will help you understand how to set the functions.

Errors and their elimination

Reasons why the Starline A93 complex is not set to autostart:

switches located under the hood or trunk panels are open;
the passenger compartment door is open;
the switch under the brake lever is open;
the neutral position programming procedure has not been completed (on cars with a manual transmission);
an impact on the brake pedal was detected.

To ensure automatic start, it is necessary to eliminate defects (by closing the doors or going through the necessary algorithms). If the engine does not start when the crankshaft is cranked with the starter, then you need to check the starter operating time. On a diesel engine, it is necessary to set an increased delay time necessary to warm up the glow plugs.
