How to open a key fob
Before disassembling the Sherkhan Magikar key fob, you should prepare an instrument screwdriver with a Phillips blade and purchase a fresh battery. Additionally, you may need a soldering station and hot melt adhesive, which is used to fix electronic components. Communicator cases consist of 2 halves connected by a screw and latches located on the sides of the case. Since irreversible damage to the remote control is possible during the work, you should turn off the alarm in advance or prepare a spare key fob.
Magicar 5
To disassemble the head remote control from Magikar 5, you will need:
Remove the protective cover of the battery compartment, and then remove the battery from the niche. Remove the rubber element covering the installation site of the fastening screw. The plug has a round configuration and is located on the front of the remote control housing. Carefully unscrew the screw with a screwdriver. Insert a thin piece of plastic or a knife blade between the housing sections and then separate the halves
When performing work, it is important to prevent breakage of the latches located around the perimeter. Inspect the internal components, remove dirt with a clean cloth. After replacing or repairing faulty parts, reassemble in reverse order.
When performing work, you should take into account the cost of components, which may exceed the price of a new communicator. Test the operation of equipment in various modes.
Magicar 7
If the driver disassembles the Magicar 7 remote control (or a similar device from the Magicar 8), then you need to remove the plug located on the back of the case. A plastic mounting spatula is used to separate the halves; when using metal devices, there is a risk of damaging the plastic parts. Then a circuit board with a soldered display and a rubber protective cover is removed from the case, protecting the button mechanisms from foreign objects. After repair, the removed parts are installed on standard points.

How to get the key fob into working condition?
The procedure for binding a new communicator is as follows:
- The key is inserted into the lock, after which the ignition is turned on and off three times. The light alarm should sound once, indicating that you have entered the setup mode.
- Over the next four seconds, you must click on the first button on the communicator.
- Then the pager code is entered into the memory of the microprocessor module.
The car owner can register no more than three communicators. Therefore, when setting up the fourth device, information about the first is deleted from the microprocessor memory. To exit the settings mode, you must not touch the key fob for four seconds.
The MasikBonLive channel talked about independently linking a new communicator to a microprocessor alarm module.
Instructions for setting up autorun
Automatic engine start is one of the most useful functions of all Sherkhan alarms, so every driver needs to know how to set up autostart by studying the instructions for the Sherkhan alarm, on the basis of which the Magikar key fob is prescribed. Before starting programming, you need to deactivate the security functions, turn off the ignition and the hands-free option.
Next, Scher-Khan Magicar 5 is programmed taking into account the following rules:
- Automatic launch can only be used in open space with the ability to visually assess the situation.
- Do not start the engine if there are people behind you.
- If the car is parked, it is important to first apply the parking brake.
- When turning on the autostart function, make sure that the gearshift lever is in the neutral position.
- Constantly monitor the coolant and oil levels.
- Do not allow children to play with the keychain or perform any manipulations.
If you want to bind key fobs with auto start on cars with a manual transmission, you need to use one of the following options:
The first option involves programming the key fobs registered in the system after stopping the vehicle, fixing the parking brake and pressing the neutral position of the gearbox lever. If the engine remains running, open the door, go outside, and then slam it - the power unit should turn off.

If you need to get things out of the trunk, you should use the second method:
- After selecting the neutral position of the lever, go outside without closing the door behind you.
- Open the trunk and take out the necessary things from it.
- Close the door, slam the lid.
There is a third option. It is based on this principle:
- Select the neutral position of the gearbox and lock the handbrake.
- Close the doors and press the 2nd button on the key fob, holding it for 2 seconds.
- Turn off the ignition and leave the cabin.
- Close the door and wait for the engine to stop.
By time
To flash the autorun firmware using a timer, you need to be guided by the factory diagram and programming table. First you need to press buttons 3 and 4 and use the diagram with the programming table, which tells you what to do and how to do it. There are two options:
- Launch every day with an interval of one day.
- Automatic restart after 2/4 or 8 hours.
By temperature and voltage
When programming key fobs (v) to configure autostart according to the temperature range and on-board voltage, you should follow these instructions:
- Disable timer start.
- Press button 4 at least 21 times.
- Select the switching threshold.
- Turn on the timer.

Setting up the Sherkhan 7 key fob using algorithm number 2
- Turn the key in the ignition switch from the initial OFF position to the final ON position, this action must be performed within a certain time - no more than four seconds. The car will give a light signal, confirming that it is ready to register the key fob.
- Press the I button on the first key fob; the alarm light will flash once to confirm that you are ready to record the code. Then, in the same way, register the next two key fobs. After registering the last of the available codes, the alarm will flash a couple of times, after which the system will exit the programming mode. After recording the codes of the three existing key fobs, do not use them for several seconds.
After completing this procedure, you will be able to program the key fob for the alarm, and you will be able to use all its functions remotely. In the same way, programming for the following types of alarms occurs: sherhan magicar 7 and sherhan magicar 5.
Setting up Sherkhan Logicar 1
All actions are performed with the protection mode turned off. To sync your Logicar 1 pro 2 remote control, do the following.
- Turn off the ignition if it is on. Press and hold the key located on the body of the diode element for two seconds. The lights will flash once.
- Within five seconds. Press the key a second time. If no password is used, the turn signals will light up twice. If there is a code - 1 time.
- Enter your PIN if you use one. The hazard warning light should blink twice.
- After 5 sec. The LED will light up continuously. This means you can register a new key fob. Three remote controls can be activated in the memory of the Logicar security system.
- Within five seconds, press the first key on the pager. The installation procedure for the remaining switches is similar.
Scher Khan Magicar B remote control installation diagram
The Magikar system has a protective algorithm for recording new switches, so without appropriate actions, not a single device can be recorded. To attach an additional remote control, you must enter the emergency shutdown code PIN 1.
- Within four seconds, turn the ignition key three times from the “Off” to the “On” position. Leave the ignition off. The hazard lights will flash once.
- Turn on the ignition. The number of activations must correspond to the first value of the personal code (setting). The emergency signal will sound once.
- Turn on the ignition. The number of activations is the second digit of the PIN (setting). The emergency lights will light up once, confirming that the pager code is ready to be entered.
- For four seconds, press the 1 key on the programmable key fob. On the remaining remote controls, we also press one. Perform actions at four-second intervals, giving the system time to remember the codes.
- To exit the programming mode, do not press any keys for four seconds. Two alarm flashes will confirm exit.
The anti-theft system's memory can store up to three remote controls. When recording new key fobs, do not forget to reprogram the old ones to avoid them being deleted from memory. Learn about starting the engine with the Scher-Khan alarm key fob.
Functions and alarm modes of Sherkhan 5
Description of options on the Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm system:
- Automatic engine start. The option can be turned on and off using the key fob. This function can be implemented based on timer readings or at a certain temperature. The system will start the power unit as a result of closing the contacts on the starter relay. To adjust the security system parameters, use the buttons on the remote control. The period or duration of operation of the power unit must be set by the user.
- Monitoring the current operating mode of the anti-theft complex by voltage. The alarm control unit monitors the generator and battery signals, which allows you to detect any “noise” in the network.
- Availability of a personal password to control the security system and change parameters. The use of the code is relevant if the communicator is lost or damaged, if it is not possible to disable or activate the security.
- The use of several outputs for connecting light alarms, central locking or a locking product on the trunk door.
- Automatic arming if the user does not open any doors after disabling it.
- Possibility of activating silent protection, without siren alarms. A tamper alert should be sent to the display communicator, but the alarm will not produce audio pulses. This is done so that the attacker does not realize that there is a security system in the car.
- Availability of several programmable channels for controlling auxiliary equipment and devices.
- The ability to turn on and off the door locks when the power unit is activated and stopped.
- Warning the user about an unlocked door when arming the car. The system installed on the car will be able to operate in protection mode only when the locks are closed.
- Indication of battery charge in the key fob. The remote control also displays information regarding the voltage in the on-board network and other functions.
Turbo mode
Turbo mode is intended for vehicles equipped with turbocharging. In such cars, to maintain the functionality of the power unit after stopping it, you need to let the engine run for about 5-10 minutes. This will cool the turbine and prevent it from deforming. When the function is enabled, the vehicle is armed with the engine running, and it is turned off automatically.
Hands-free mode
Hands-free mode allows you to arm and disarm the car automatically when the user moves away or approaches the vehicle. To enable protection, the consumer does not need to press the key fob buttons. The function is controlled by fixing the radio tag, which should be in the user’s pocket or hands, via a wireless communication channel.
Video about car alarm functions
The “Ramin Dave” channel in its video spoke in detail about the functions of the Sherkhan Magikar 5 security systems.
Programming key fobs Sherkhan Magikar A and Logicar A
The anti-theft system is remotely controlled by a special remote control containing a radio transmitter. For a number of reasons, there is a need to program pagers. You can register the Sherkhan Magikar A keychain yourself by carefully studying the instructions. The control unit's memory can store up to three communicators. If you doubt your abilities, contact the service center .
User guide
The system comes complete with an instruction manual in Russian, which outlines all the design features of the Scher Khan Magicar 5 system, tips for setup and use.
PIN Programming
To configure the code you need:
- Turn on the ignition and open the driver's door.
- Hit the call sensor ten times with slight force, with a break between blows of no more than 1.5 seconds. When there is an impact, the sensitive element in the sensor will begin to signal by turning on the green diode.
- After the last hit, the diode will start flashing red. If this does not happen, then errors were made in the procedure and it should be started again.
- If the diode is turned on normally, it is necessary to strike the sensor several times (the number corresponds to the first digit of the code). Wait until the number is confirmed by flashing the diode (red, turns on 1.5 seconds after the last strike).
- After confirmation, the diode will return to its previous flashing mode. At this time, the second digit should be entered.
- The third and fourth digits are entered in the same way.
- After recording the last digit, the system will give a single short signal with a siren and an alarm.
How to open a car using a code?
In order to open the car by entering a code, you will need:
- Apply ten light blows to the sensor at intervals of no more than 1.5 seconds. Each blow should cause the green diode to blink briefly.
- Wait until the red diode starts blinking and apply the number of blows to the sensor corresponding to the first digit of the code. Confirmation of the correctness of the input will be flashes of a red diode with a different frequency. After this, it will switch to private flashing mode, which is a signal to enter the second digit.
- Enter the rest of the code data in the same way. If the entry is successful, the system will turn off and the door lock will be unlocked. If an error occurs, the procedure must be started again.
Magikar 5 allows only five input attempts within 30 minutes. After this, the system is blocked for a day and can be turned off during this period of time only by a signal from the key fob.
Enabling security mode
In order to put the electronic system into operating security mode, you must briefly press the first button on the main or additional key fob. When setting, the turn signal lamps turn on and a short signal is given by the siren and buzzer of the key fob. A closed lock icon is displayed on the screen. The shock detection sensor turns on half a minute after the system is turned on.
Enabling security using key fobs
It is possible to disable the security by pressing the first button of any of the key fobs, which will produce a double alarm with lamps and a siren. The icon (open lock) will change on the display.
Deactivating the alarm from the key fob
The system can operate in passive mode, when security is activated half a minute after all doors and covers on the body are closed. If the doors do not open when the system is turned off, it will automatically arm. To use the passive mode, it should be activated by briefly pressing the second and third buttons of the main key fob.
Passive operating mode is active (the Passive icon is lit on the display)
If the doors and trunk lid were opened and closed, the system will turn on the protection half a minute after the lock of the last element is latched.
Programming a new Scher Khan alarm key fob
To remotely control a car security system, a special alarm command key fob is used, in which a radio transmitter is installed.
Due to some circumstances, there is a need to register a key fob in the alarm unit. Programming a key fob is not difficult, but this process has a number of its own peculiarities.
ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"
The main control unit of the scher khan alarm system is capable of storing signals from only three key fobs. There are two ways (algorithms) for registering key fob codes:
- With the need to enter PIN-1 (personal code);
- No need to enter PIN-1.
When you try to register a new key fob for the Sherkhan alarm system, the code of the very first one registered is deleted. When using two key fobs simultaneously, you need to register one of them in the central unit twice.
The programming mode is opened by simultaneous, long-term pressing of buttons 3 and 4, the system will sound a sound signal and the emergency lights will flash once.
Characteristic “responses” when activating/deactivating the hands-free function
When enabled, the function performs:
- one-time car siren signal;
- single short-term signal from the key fob;
- single flash of alarm;
- on the LCD screen of the key fob the inscription “SV. HANDS". In this case, the headlight and lock icons will blink five times.
When the function is deactivated, the following will happen:
- car siren signal twice;
- double short-term signal from the key fob;
- double flash of alarm;
- on the LCD screen of the key fob the inscription “ST. HANDS". In this case, the headlight and lock icons will blink five times.
This mode can only be used on a switch with an LCD display. The function will not be available on a key fob without an LCD.
When disabling the “Hands Free” mode, one nuance must be taken into account: if the programmed function 1/19 (two-step disarming) is activated, automatic disarming will not occur.
Alarm system Sherkhan 6 (Scher-Khan Magicar) is quite ancient, but can still be found on the shelves of car dealerships.
Sherkhan 6 does not have an automatic engine start, and differs from Sherkhan 5 only in the blue key fob body and the absence of the Absolut 202 launch module in the kit, otherwise the models are completely interchangeable.
If your main Sherkhan 6 key fob is broken, you can safely change it to the Sherkhan 5 model without losing functionality. Also, the case from Sherkhan 5 in gray color fits Sherkhan 6 without any problems
Sherkhan 6 mini (Scher-Khan Magicar 6 mini) the main difference is that the kit does not include a key fob with an LCD display and feedback, only an additional one.
Autostart from the Sherkhan 6 key fob - autostart is possible only if there is a launch module. If such a module is present, you need to press button 2 for 2 seconds. The car doors will close and the engine will start.

The “hands-free” mode is a kind of mode that allows you to determine friend or foe. That is, when approaching a car with the mode on, the car opens on the main key fob, and closes when moving away. With constant use of this mode, the main key fob is disconnected from the system; for it to work fully, it must be re-registered to the car according to the instructions.
The recording of Sherkhan 6 key fobs differs from Sherkhan 5, therefore, if you purchased a key fob from the fifth model, you need to register it according to the instructions for the sixth.
To record key fobs, Hands Free and Valet modes must be disabled.
Disable hands-free mode (if enabled). To turn off the mode, press the key fob button “1” for 2 seconds. Mark under the inscription SV. HANDS will disappear from the display.
Valet mode, if enabled, to exit VALET mode, use a short press of the key fob buttons (I+III).
Recording new key fobs is a little more difficult than for the fifth model, since Pin1 is hardwired into the programming mode, which does not turn off if it has not been changed, the factory value is 1 -1.
How to correctly register the Sherkhan 6 keychain, even if you are holding a keychain from the 5th model (gray body).
Within 4 sec. Turn the ignition key three times from the OFF to the ON position. Turn off the ignition, the hazard warning lights will flash once. If the alarm is not connected to the emergency gang, the relay should click.
After the alarm flashes, turn on the ignition the number of times corresponding to the first digit of the personal code (). The alarm will flash once to confirm that the second digit is ready to be entered.
After the alarm flashes, turn on the ignition the number of times corresponding to the second digit of the personal code (). The hazard warning light will flash once, confirming that the key fob codes are ready to be entered.
After the alarm flashes, press button 1 of the key fob, the code of which must be entered into the memory of the processor unit. To confirm that the code has been recorded, the hazard warning lights will flash 1 time.
If you need to record the code of only one key fob, then briefly press the I button of this key fob three times.
To exit the programming mode, do not take any action for 4 seconds. after recording the code of the last key fob.
The system has three memory cells for storing key fob codes. When you try to record the fourth key fob, the code of the first recorded key fob will be deleted.

- Turn the ignition key three times from the initial position to ON, then turn off the ignition. The action must be performed within a certain time - 4 seconds. The engine must be turned off and the driver's door open.
- Change the ignition key position from OFF to ON. The number of times the key can be turned is the first digit in the PIN code. After four seconds, the alarm will flash once, thereby indicating that the system is ready to accept the next digit. Repeating this sequence, enter all the digits of the existing code.
- In a time period, no more than four seconds after recording the code of the first key fob, press the I button on the second key fob and repeat the sequence specified in the second paragraph. After registering each of the key fobs, the alarm will light up once to confirm the correctness of the action.
- After you have finished reprogramming the last key fob, the alarm will flash twice and the system will completely exit the mode in which programming was carried out. After registering all the codes, do not perform any actions for several seconds.
Where is the Valet button?
Scher-Khan security systems do not have a separate Valet button, which puts the equipment into programming mode. On equipment from other manufacturers there is a special switch, which is located under the instrument panel or on the processor unit. To enable the service function on the Sherkhan 5, 7, 10 alarm system, you need to disarm the car, and then briefly press keys 1 and 3 located on the end of the communicator.
After pressing the keys, the car emits a short siren signal, which is accompanied by a flash of external lights. On all car alarms, the control diode located in the signal sensor to the owner lights up continuously. A light signal notifies the driver and service station personnel that the security system is in sleep mode. The icon for the headlights and the security mode status flashes 5 times on the communicator; an additional short signal is given by the buzzer.
It is possible to activate the function on the Magicar 7 product without using a communicator:
- After the security mode is released, press the call sensor multi-function switch for 2 seconds.
- You should wait for the lights to flash.
- After the light signal, a 5-second timer is activated; the owner needs to briefly press the toggle switch. An impulse is given by external lamps, and the control diode goes into rapid flashing mode.
- Enter 1 digit of the password into the memory of the central unit. Programming is carried out in short pulses, the interval between impacts does not exceed 1.5 seconds. 4 seconds are allotted to enter the number; if the driver does not fit within the time limit, the procedure begins again.
- Wait for the control diode to blink rapidly, and then program the second register.
- Using a similar scheme, enter the 3rd and 4th password fields.
- After entering the last digit, a 5-second timer is activated, the driver briefly presses the sensor button. You can pause for 5 seconds, then the Valet mode will be automatically activated.
- Wait for the siren to sound, confirming that the Valet function has been activated. Simultaneously with the sound signal, the vehicle's external light alarm is activated.
On the Magicar 5 system, it is possible to enable the Valet parameter during an emergency disarming of the security mode. The driver opens the door and the alarm mode starts at the same time. The key is turned three times in the lock from one extreme position to the other, then the ignition circuit is deactivated. Turning off the alarm is accompanied by the start of a 4-second starter lock disabling timer, then the equipment goes into the “Jack” state.
The additional Valet mode used during the programming process is set by a long complex press on buttons 1 and 4 or 2 and 4. The car will sound a single beep with a siren and flash the hazard lights; the communicator display does not show any additional symbols. Then the car owner makes the necessary adjustments in accordance with the tables and recommendations given in the operating instructions.
Autorun setup instructions
