Determining the Starline car alarm model using the key fob

Since the A6 Starline is not produced, many consumers believe that the functionality of the security system leaves much to be desired, but this is not the case. If the alarm does not receive signals, you need to make sure that the antenna adapter is connected correctly. It is also necessary to check that there are no metal objects nearby that would interfere with the transmission of impulses.

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:

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.

Advantages and disadvantages

The Starline Twage A6 security alarm system has the following advantages:

1. Availability of autorun option. This allows you to start the car engine remotely, which is especially important in winter. The power unit is started by a command sent from the remote control if the remote control is within the operating range of the system. The launch can be done by timer, after a certain period of time, or by temperature. The function saves time and warms up the car in advance if the driver is in a hurry.
2. Easy to install. With minimal knowledge and skills, any motorist can install the system. Also, if you use the instructions that we will look at below. The alarm must be connected according to the diagram included in the kit.
3. Budget. Today, the alarm system on A6 models has been removed and finding them on sale is problematic, but still possible. The cost of the security complex is approximately 2,700 rubles.
4. High range of the key fob. Thanks to this, the owner of the car, even being away from the car, will be able to inquire about its condition.
5. The presence of two engine locks makes it possible to block the operation of the power unit in the event of an unauthorized attempt to start the internal combustion engine.

The signal has no special disadvantages. In some cases, false alarms of the siren are possible, but this is usually due to incorrect settings of the sensitivity sensor.

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.

How to install an alarm?

Installation instructions:

1. First, the central unit is installed. You need to choose the most hidden installation location. The unit should not be placed in the engine compartment, as high temperatures prevail under the hood, especially if the engine is running and hot. It is not possible to place the device in the trunk, as the driver must be able to access the device while sitting in his seat. Some installers “get worried” and install the unit under the door trim, but this should not be done, since moisture can accumulate in such places. The best place will be the empty space behind the dashboard. To install, unscrew the screws securing the steering column trim, dismantle the control panel and disconnect all plugs with wires from it. Install the block and securely fasten it with self-tapping screws. Make sure there is no play where the device touches the surface, otherwise the device will vibrate.
2. The next step will be installing a siren. The device is located under the hood. The siren should not be placed in close proximity to the cylinder block, as high temperatures will damage it. Find the least dirty and hidden place in the engine compartment, secure the siren to the body using self-tapping screws. It is advisable to direct the horn of the device to the side or down.
3. To enable automatic engine start depending on the temperature, a thermostat is installed in the engine compartment. The sensor must be built into one of the cooling system lines. Securely secure the device in the pipe so that it is not washed away by a stream of antifreeze. The wires to connect the device must be pulled out.
4. Then the transceiver is installed. The antenna adapter is mounted in the car; the location should be chosen as high as possible. The transceiver is installed in the area of ​​the windshield; there should be no metal objects near the installation site, as their presence will cause interference with signal transmission. The alarm may not sound when you press a button on the remote control. Install the adapter and glue it with double-sided tape or special glue, which may be included in the kit.
5. The engine lock relay is installed under the ignition switch housing. The device is connected according to the circuit to the engine starting circuit.
6. The Jack service mode button is installed. The installation should be done in a hidden place, since having access to the button, a criminal can quickly turn off the siren and steal the car.
7. When all the components of the security complex are installed, they are connected to the central unit; for this it is necessary to lay wires and connect all the elements with electrical circuits. The electrical wiring is located under the car's interior trim. There should be no moving mechanisms where the wires pass. Devices are connected according to the diagram included in the kit.

Photos of electrical circuit connection diagrams are presented below.

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.

Video “How to program the Starline A6 key fob”

User viieer aleks talked about how to link the control panel of the Starline A6 security complex.

One hundred percent protection of the car against theft is guaranteed by the specialized anti-theft device Starline twage a6. The unique features of this alarm allow you to control it remotely using a key fob.

It's no secret that there are several sources of interference in large cities. Since the key fob is required to use all the car's service functions, the question arises: "Will a pager work well in a big city?" Starline developers will answer this question without hesitation: “Yes!”

ATTENTION! I found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! You do not believe me? Even a mechanic with 15 years of experience didn’t believe it until he tried it. Now save 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Know more"

Since each transmitter has its own frequency, the code is also transmitted through an encrypted signal. At the same time, the kit also includes a spare wheel. It is, of course, weaker in parameters than the main one, but will still be of help in case of failure or loss of the main transmitter.

If the pager is lost or broken for any reason, you can purchase a new one and re-register it under the alarm control unit. At the same time, there is no need to fear that the code may subsequently be stolen by the “code provider.” Such cases are almost completely excluded due to the fact that the code is transmitted at “frequency hopping”. In other words, it’s impossible to go wrong when purchasing a Starline a6 car alarm. This will provide the best protection against theft or break-ins. » You can install the alarm yourself or contact technical service. But it should be borne in mind that not all employees will do the installation. Therefore, you should choose those services that are known to friends, acquaintances or relatives. Well, if the choice fell on installing a car alarm yourself, then you need to stock up on time, tools, measuring equipment and, of course, operating instructions. The most important thing is to connect the wires correctly, as incorrect connection will result in a short circuit. And, in turn, will shut down the entire system.

How to determine the model

In order to determine the model without errors in the case of Starline, you need to rely on clues (labels, papers or list of functions), find information online or contact professionals.

By labeling

One way to find out the alarm model is to search for the markings, which are located on the back cover of the key fob. Under it there is a barcode and a model of 1 letter and 1-2 numbers (like 02) is written. If the set does not have the main key fob, then on the back of the additional copy there is a designation like StarLine 2Way-Remo.FCC ID: NJQEP02 (when decrypted - A91 or marked with id NJQLTX67C - A6). If the factory markings have been erased, then the name of the security system is duplicated on the inside of the remote control body (under the cover covering the battery).

By built-in functions

The next method to find out the Starline alarm model is to be able to determine its ownership by the functionality of the key fob. A certain brand has characteristic operating modes. The main options on an old device or a new one are indicated in the instructions and the table below:

According to the accompanying documentation for the car

When comparing alarms, it is worth predicting situations when the purchased car (especially a used one) was serviced at the same service center where it was purchased. Therefore, it makes sense to use the accompanying documents for the car and find the organization where the alarm was installed and serviced to request information. If there were any papers left over during the purchase, you can determine the company where the last adjustment was also carried out. Specialists from the dealership should help determine the Starline model using the key fob through a concluded sales agreement.

Using Internet services

You can correctly recognize the car alarm model using the key fob using the following Internet services:

1. Official catalog on the Starline website. For each device (even discontinued ones) there is an image and the user can visually compare their remote control with pictures and instructions.
2. Web resource "Ugona.net". There are photos of keychains of various series. And the specialists of this portal have additionally created a community where the car owner can find recommendations from other users.
3. Google image search engine. Through it, you can easily upload a photo of your device and see the result of issuing pictures, under which the full name of the model is indicated.

We must not forget thematic forums and social network groups based on interests: they are less popular, but there you can also quickly get an answer.

What's inside the alarm box

The alarm kit includes all components necessary for installation in the car.

• Wires are required to supply power to the control panel and connect the rest of the system.
• Remote control is carried out using a key fob. It is also called a transmitter or pager. The set includes two: main and spare. The second is without an LCD screen. Of course, this is not always convenient, but it will be of great help if the main key fob is lost or broken.
• The central alarm unit (CBS) is the “brains” of the entire system. All encrypted codes go to him. And using it they are decrypted and the signal is transmitted to the appropriate parts of the car to perform the desired function.
• The transceiver receives the signal and sends it to CBS. Usually it is mounted on the windshield, since it must be directly accessible, otherwise the remote control signal will not work.
• Ending station. This thing is needed to send a signal to the pager about unauthorized opening of the hood. It is installed above the left headlight.
• Also included is an LED. The owner must be informed that the system is working.
• The service button is installed in the car.
• To simplify the operation and installation process, instructions and user manuals are included in the kit.

A key fob that transmits an encrypted signal to CBS to control all service functions of the vehicle. A keychain is a common item, so a comfortable position in the hand is not the last thing we paid attention to during development. In addition, the keychain is made with the expectation that the owner will look for it in his pocket by touch. This way, the buttons and their locations are easy to remember and can be easily found blindly later. The buttons are convenient and contain graphic images that only increase their information content. In addition, there is a slight click when pressed. This is necessary so that the owner is completely confident that the signal has been sent and the requested action has been completed.

Choosing a key fob for an alarm

: 3 years ago

Every motorist strives to provide maximum protection against burglary and theft for his car. The same goal is pursued by companies developing security systems for cars. Modern alarm systems allow you to provide reliable protection thanks to unique individual codes that are exchanged between the key fob and the system processor stationary unit. They help to avoid outside interference and ensure that another device cannot be reprogrammed and disable the alarm.

In addition to the functions of turning the alarm on/off, you can use the key fob to control a number of options, including receiving a signal about a car impact. The key fobs themselves take up no more space than a matchbox, are practically weightless, consume very little energy and operate over impressive distances. For example, using them you can monitor the condition of a car parked in the yard while in an apartment on the 15th floor.

However, if you have lost your key fob or need another one, finding a new one will not be so easy. At a minimum, because different manufacturers use encryption codes that do not correspond to each other. Moreover, finding a key fob for an outdated alarm can be problematic.

In addition, key fobs differ in a number of functions, so you need to select a model that suits your alarm system. Also, to work with the security system, the key fob needs to be programmed - information about this is contained in the alarm operating manual. Therefore, sometimes it will be easier to replace the security system than to select a new key fob.

However, if you still decide to choose a keychain yourself, you need to understand how they differ from each other.

Alarm model

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a key fob is its compatibility with the alarm model installed on your car.

Firstly, this is the manufacturer. As we noted above, different manufacturers use different encryption code algorithms, and it is impossible to control your alarm with a key fob from another manufacturer.

Secondly, it is worth looking at the signaling model. As a rule, all key fobs indicate alarm models compatible with them, so this should not be a problem. If you were unable to find a keychain that suits you in this way, you should contact your keychain manufacturer directly.

Radius of action

An alarm key fob is a remote control module for your car's security system. All models are equipped with a built-in antenna, which allows you to use the device at a considerable distance from the stationary system processor unit in the car. The most popular values ​​are from 500 to 2000 meters.

It should be taken into account that there are indicators for urban and non-urban conditions. In the second case, we mean a direct distance with no obstacles in the path of the signal. That is, concrete walls, trees, fences, other cars - all this reduces the range of the key fob antenna.

Therefore, the best key fobs will be those whose range indicators both in urban conditions and outside will be closest to each other. Ideally, they should be the same.

Signal encryption

The car alarm control code can be of several types, the most popular of which are dynamic and interactive.

Dynamic code is most common among car enthusiasts. The bottom line is that each press of a button on the key fob generates a new code. Given its length, it is quite difficult to calculate the law of change. However, any key fob has a descriptor - the law of code changes during the next generation - which allows you to synchronize a new key fob with the alarm system. This descriptor is constant for all alarm systems of the model range, which makes it a vulnerable point of the security system. That is, the newer, less serialized and unique the alarm, the lower the probability of calculating a descriptor from this model range.

Conversational code is the last step in encoding data transmission. It is based on the principle of “friend or foe” requests and the transfer of dynamic passwords. Each time you press a button, the key fob sends its unique ID number to the system processor stationary unit.

The system unit accepts it and, if it matches, sends a code generated according to a dynamic law, which must be used to encode the transmission of the command. The key fob encodes the command corresponding to the button pressed on it, using the received code, and sends it to the system unit.

He, in turn, decrypts the received code, executes the command and transmits confirmation of this back to the key fob.

Turning security mode on and off with one button

Today, the most popular key fobs are those on which the security mode is turned on and off using one single button. There are also models in which one button is responsible for turning on, and another for turning off. However, the second option is increasingly becoming a thing of the past.

Availability of display

An important parameter for many car enthusiasts may be the presence of an LCD display. On it you can see some data about the state of the car, a key fob charge indicator, as well as other optional functions. Key fobs without a display have only a few buttons, the execution of commands of which is confirmed by a light and/or sound signal.

Additional functions

Key fobs can not only turn the security mode on and off - they can also have a number of optional functions.

The presence of interception protection helps to calculate the interception of your key fob signal.

visual execution of commands simplifies working with the key fob. Typically these are beeps and flashing of the built-in LED, but on devices with LCD displays there can be much more variation.

Self-installation of alarm systems

If the driver wants to install the alarm himself, this can be done relatively quickly using the instructions. But there are times when a driver is poorly versed in electronics and needs the help of an electrician.

What is needed to install the starline a6 alarm system yourself:

• The reporting itself;
• driver's door activator (I didn't have one);
• soldering iron, soldering iron, rosin;
• Screwdriver;
• Insulating tape;
• additional protection diode (1N4007) (there are only 4 diodes for the limit switches in the kit, but one more must be connected to the warning lamp in the handbrake instrument panel).
• And, of course, installation instructions that come with the car alarm.
