The Starline A93 operating instructions include an electrical diagram that must be followed when connecting the alarm. The service manual will allow you to perform the initial setup of the security system, including programming anti-theft options and automatic engine start.
Main characteristics of the model
Let's look at the characteristics that all models of the anti-theft system belonging to the A93 line have:
- The device provides protection in three stages. First comes the password, then the immobilizer, after which the car is opened by the standard system.
- The system includes controllers with remote adjustment functions. If they try to lift the car with a tow truck or a jack, the alarm will record the attempted theft and the siren will sound.
- Availability of an option for remote engine start - “smart” start at a specified time or by command from the key fob. Automatic start of the power unit can be carried out when the temperature drops to a certain threshold, using a timer, alarm clock, or after a set time period.
- If the machine is equipped with CAN and LIN lines, then the alarm installation procedure will not take much time. Thanks to their presence, the car owner will not have to plug the device into the car’s electrical circuits, which makes the security system even more reliable. The presence of the above tires helps to reduce the number of “brakes”.
- The anti-theft remote control is made of durable plastic. It withstands mechanical stress and does not crack.
- The presence of additional channels allows you to configure the car's light alarm, the activation of the side mirror folding device, etc.
- The range of the signal can be up to two kilometers.
You can learn about the features of using and setting up the A93 alarm using the example of a Kia Sid car from the video filmed by Andrey Popov.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages characteristic of this model of security systems:
- Remote engine start makes it possible to remotely start the engine and start driving in an already warmed-up car. For intelligent remote start of the power plant, the consumer does not need to purchase and install additional modules.
- Thanks to the t° sensors of the engine and the interior, you can set the autostart of the car based on temperature.
- Possibility to expand functionality by installing additional modules.
- A complete set of alarm systems is considered to be an advantage, since some alarm models do not have sirens or limit switches.
- The two-way communication function allows you to find out about the status of the anti-theft system without approaching the vehicle.
- Self-installation is possible thanks to CAN and LIN buses, which allow you to quickly install the alarm with minimal interference in the vehicle’s on-board network.
Disadvantages highlighted by consumers in reviews:
- Incorrect operation of the key fob. Over time, the communicator begins to function intermittently. This is due to wear on the device or damage to the internal components of the board. If the key fob does not work correctly initially, most likely the problem lies in the low noise immunity of the security system. Perhaps the reason is a factory defect in the signaling system.
- Low cost/quality ratio. Consumers note that the price is too high.
- Starline A93 alarms cannot be installed on all cars. For example, consumers note that this model does not fit the Lada X-Ray car.

Installation of car alarm Starline A63
Operating and installation instructions for Starline A91 with auto start
There is nothing difficult about installing the Starline A63 alarm yourself. The operating instructions clearly illustrate the connection diagram and procedure. But there is one feature that can spoil the mood. The compact housing of the central unit does not allow the connectors to snap off. Once you have inserted the connector into the socket, it will be impossible to pull it back out without removing the top cover. It opens quite easily, but the board is not secured with anything. You must be extremely careful not to short-circuit the contacts of the elements to the machine body during installation.
After the system is installed, it must be programmed according to the table that is published in the operating instructions. You should take this stage most seriously and check the settings of all functions. Otherwise, at the right time, the Starline A63 alarm will not work as you would like. For example, the siren volume is set to two levels out of 10. It must be increased. A correctly installed system does not cause failures during operation.
The Starline A63 car alarm provides a full range of security functions, is protected from burglary and will reliably protect your car from theft or robbery.

Starline a93 autostart
A93 allows you to start the engine automatically:
- by alarm clock - at a certain point in time; by voltage – when the battery voltage drops below the programmed one; by interval - after a certain number of hours (2, 4, 6, 8, 10... 24); by engine temperature – when the engine temperature drops below the programmed one (-3°C, -6°C, -9°C... -27°C).
2.1. Auto start on alarm clock
Before setting up autorun on an alarm, make sure that the time on the key fob is set correctly, the alarm is turned on and programmed for the time you need.
To activate the alarm, move the cursor to the alarm icon in the manner shown in the figure below.
Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, for five seconds the remaining time until the start of autostart will be displayed on the screen, the alarm icon will light up permanently.
2.2. Periodic autostart
In this mode, Starline A93 allows you to automatically start the car at certain time intervals - from 2 to 24 hours in increments of 2.
To enable interval autorun, move the cursor to the watch face icon as shown in the figure below.
Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, and for four seconds the current value of the interval autostart will be displayed on the screen (2H - 2 hours, 4H - 4 hours, etc.).
Short presses of button 1 change the value of autorun periods. Each press increases the interval by 2 hours.
When you select the autorun interval you need, press button 1 for a long time or simply do nothing for 4 seconds. The key fob will sound 2 beeps, the icon on its screen will light up permanently, indicating that automatic start by interval is activated.
After a few seconds, the engine will start automatically. You can turn it off immediately or let it run for the programmed time.
2.3. Starline a93 starting by engine temperature
The Starline A93 alarm allows you to autostart based on the engine temperature if it drops below the programmed one. The trigger range is assigned from -3°C to -27°C in steps of 3.
At least one hour passes between two consecutive temperature autostarts. For example, the autostart temperature is programmed to be -20°C. When the temperature dropped below -20°C, the car started, ran for 10 minutes and stalled. 40 minutes after stopping, the engine temperature again dropped below the programmed temperature. But the car alarm will not allow auto-start to occur. The next automatic start will occur only an hour after the car stalled.
To enable automatic start based on temperature, move the cursor to the snowflake icon as shown in the figure below.
Now briefly press button 1. One light signal from the car will follow, the key fob will emit a melodic signal and for five seconds the current temperature at which autostart will occur will be displayed on its screen.
Short presses of button 1 change the autostart temperature value. Each press changes it by 3°C.
When you select the autorun interval you need, press button 1 until you hear a beep or simply do nothing for 4 seconds. The key fob will sound 2 beeps, the icon on its screen will light up permanently, indicating that automatic start based on temperature is activated.
2.4. Automatic engine start based on voltage
In this mode, the Starline A93 alarm starts the engine when the voltage in the car drops below the programmed one. The voltage can be changed in 0.1V steps from 11.7V to 12.3V.
Just as with autostart based on temperature, autostart based on voltage drop occurs no earlier than 1 hour after the last engine start.
This function is useful when the car owner leaves the car for a long time, for example, when he goes on a business trip. Then there is a high probability that the battery will be discharged and upon arrival from a business trip the car owner will not be able to start the engine due to a dead battery.
To enable the function, follow the steps shown in the pictures below.
2.5. How to disable automatic launches
To disable autostart on Starline A93 by alarm, temperature and interval, move the cursor to the alarm clock, snowflake or dial icon in the manner shown in the figure below.
Then briefly press button 1 on the key fob. A melodic signal will sound, the turns will blink 2 times, and the corresponding icon will disappear from the screen.
To turn off voltage autostart, follow the same steps as when turning it on. Just select the value 00 00.
Advantages and disadvantages of the system

- There is a simulation of a power unit malfunction;
- It is possible to enable the “panic” mode.
Programming security and service alarm functions
We looked at the main security alarm functions available in the key fob setup mode, but these are not all the available functions of the system. To configure each alarm parameter to your liking, you must go into programming mode. To do this, you will need the Starline A93 programming table and perform the following steps:
Starline a93 programming table
- Turn off the ignition and press the service button 5 times.
- Turn on the ignition, 5 siren signals and a characteristic sound signal from the key fob will sound, confirming entry into the programming mode.
- By short pressing buttons 2 and 3, you need to select the “AF” item (to set up security and service functions) and press the third button, first long, then short. In this case, the display will indicate the first function of the programming table number 1.
- By briefly pressing buttons 2 or 3 you need to select the required function (see table No. 1). Then, after selecting a function, briefly press button 1 to select the desired option for this function. Let's take an example of setting up the automatic activation of the car security mode. To do this, follow steps 1-3 to enter the programming mode according to the first table. Then, by briefly pressing buttons 2 and 3, select function 4, which is responsible for the automatic security mode. Next, using the same buttons, you need to select a function option, for example, 3, and the screen should display the value “4-3”, where the number 4 means the serial number of the function, and the number 3 is the option for performing the function.
- To exit the programming mode, you must turn off the ignition by turning the key, or without touching anything, wait for the system to automatically exit this mode.
Using an example, let's look at setting the “programmable neutral” function. To do this, follow steps 1-3 to enter the programming mode according to the second table. Then, by briefly pressing buttons 2 and 3, select function 15, which is responsible for the “programmable neutral” mode. Next, using those buttons 2 and 3, you need to select a function option, for example, 3, and the screen should display the value “15-4”, where the number 15 means the serial number of the function, and the number 4 is the option for performing the function.
How to register a key fob
You can register up to 4 remote control key fobs in the memory of the Starline A93 car alarm. To do this you need:
- disable security mode;
- press the Valet button seven times;
- turn on the ignition - the car will emit seven siren signals;
- briefly press buttons No. 1-2 - the car will emit one siren signal, and the key fob will emit one sound signal;
- turn off the ignition - the car will respond with three light signals.
If there are several key fobs, then the second point is repeated for each of them. In this case, the interval between recording key fobs should not exceed 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT! When registering key fobs, all information about the previous key fobs is deleted from the system memory. Therefore, all new and old key fobs must be registered within one programming cycle
Setting up autostart alarm Starline A93
Starting the car:
- Move the gearshift knob to the neutral/parking position (switch off all gears);
- Turn off the ignition and remove the key from it (the engine must be on);
- Activate the parking brake (on manual)
- Close all doors tightly, as well as the hood and trunk lid;
If any step is missed, remote launch is not possible. But with proper preparation of the car (the engine is turned off by the alarm itself), it can be started from the remote control in different ways.
Press and hold button 1 (until two melodic beeps appear), then release the button
Periodically starting the engine from the key fob:
This function is especially relevant in winter, when periodic warming up of the engine is required. The starline a93 key fob can automatically start the engine to warm up (after 2, 3, 4, 24 hours).
How to set up autorun by time
The Starline A93 alarm system allows you to regularly start the car engine at regular intervals. The start period can be set from 2 hours to 24 hours with a minimum increment of 2 hours.
To activate the mode, you must:
- place the key fob cursor on the icon with the image of an hourglass and briefly press button No. 1 - the car will respond with one light signal, and the key fob with one melodic sound;
- The key fob display will display the current value of the car engine autostart period for 4 seconds (for example, “4H” means that the engine will start every 4 hours).
To change the engine autostart period, you need to lightly press button No. 1 until the desired value appears on the display. Each press of button No. 1 increases the automatic start period by 2 hours.
After the desired autorun period value is displayed on the display, press button No. 1 and hold it until a melodic trill sounds, or wait until the selected autorun period is automatically saved, which will occur 4 seconds after selecting the desired parameter. At the same time, two short melodic signals will sound on the key fob, and an icon with an hourglass will begin to appear on its display. A few seconds after setting the selected parameters, the engine will automatically start and warm up.
Activate autostart mode based on temperature
This feature monitors the outside air temperature and, if necessary, starts the car engine to warm up. The start temperature is set within the range from -3 °C to -27 °C, the minimum step is 3 °C. The minimum period of time between restarts (excluding time spent warming up the engine) is 60 minutes. Once the user activates the temperature-based engine start feature, the number of temperature starts is not limited.
To enable engine autostart mode based on temperature, perform the following steps:
- press the icon with the image of a key and button No. 1 - the car reacts with one light signal, and the key fob emits a melodic trill once;
- over the next 4 sec. the key fob display shows the current value of the starting temperature;
- to change the temperature value, you need to press button No. 1 (1 press = 3 oC);
- after selecting the desired temperature parameters, hold down button No. 1 until a sound signal is heard, or wait for automatic saving, which occurs after 4 seconds.
If the engine autostart function based on temperature is successfully activated, the key fob emits two short melodic signals, and the icon with the image of a key on the key fob display becomes active.

Setting up the key fob
In order for the consumer to be able to use all functions, including starting the engine remotely, the communicator must be linked before use. Without this, it will not be detected by the system. When binding each new key fob, information about the old ones is deleted from the memory of the microprocessor module.
If several communicators are programmed at once, each device must be prepared before starting the procedure:
- The vehicle is disarmed. When the ignition is deactivated, the user must quickly click 7 times on the Valet service key.
- The key is inserted into the lock. The ignition is activated. The siren should emit seven beeps. This indicates that the security complex has entered code setting mode.
- Then the consumer needs to press the first and second buttons of the remote control. These keys are pressed and held until the communicator and the machine give a single signal.
- With a time interval of no more than five seconds, you should perform similar actions with the second remote control.
- Then the ignition in the car is turned off. The turning lights of the car will blink three times, this indicates the successful completion of the procedure.
You cannot allow a pause between programming two Starline A93 alarm remotes for more than five seconds, otherwise the system will exit the programming mode.
Factory reset
To reset the Starline A93 car alarm settings to factory settings, do the following.
- Press the service button 9 (to reset table 1 settings) or 10 (to reset table 2 values) times with the ignition off and turn on the ignition. The siren will sound 9 or 10 times.
- Press the service button once. The siren will chirp 1 time.
- Briefly press button one of the key fob. A short siren signal means that all settings in programming tables 1 or 2 have been reset to factory values.
- Turn off the ignition.
Be careful! Resetting the settings to factory settings may result in the car no longer starting with the key. There will also be problems with autostart - both automatic and remote starts will stop working.

Installation of the module in the StarLine A93 2CAN+2LIN Eco alarm system
Installation of the module in the security complex
We carry out it on a de-energized car. It will take literally five minutes in time if you know the installation location of the main alarm unit and in the absence of artificial complications in dismantling the unit.
Remove the cover by unscrewing the four bolts:
We remove the board from the case:
We install the GSM module “sandwich” on top of the board to the left of the 2CAN-2LIN module:
You should be careful when doing this, because... there is a possibility of bending the pin legs:
By this time, you should already decide on a cellular operator. It should be remembered that the module operates in 2G frequencies, and, for example, a Tele2 SIM card will not work in Moscow, because Tele2 is presented in it only at 3G/4G frequencies. You should also be guided by the quality of coverage of specific operators in your region. In Crimea, out of the entire zoo of complete SIM cards, only MTS will work.
Insert the SIM card all the way to the left:
And we assemble the main block in the reverse order.
Initial setup of the GSM module
For the GSM module to operate, the following information must be recorded in its memory:
- The PW access password, consisting of 4 digits, is required for authorization when making calls from phones that are not registered in the module’s memory, as well as for the ability to delete and add new user phones using SMS messages.
- the PS access password, consisting of 4 digits, is required to provide additional protection when entering a new owner’s phone number (M1) into the module’s memory from phones that are not registered in the memory; The PW or PS password is NOT the PIN code of the SIM card!
- telephone numbers of users from which the module is controlled and to which alerts are sent.
To simplify entering this data, the device has an initial setup procedure, which is automatically activated when you call the module if there are no phone numbers stored in the module’s memory.
Initially, the GSM module’s memory contains neither phone numbers nor PW and PS passwords, so the M1 number is recorded when calling the module. Install the SIM card into the GSM module.
Accordingly, we supply power to the alarm and wait 30–40 seconds. The module will register in the network and will be in waiting mode for an incoming call.
From the phone that will be used as Master (M1) we call the number of the SIM card installed in the GSM module.
The module will answer the call and hear a greeting:
— StarLine welcomes you! Enter password #1!
In tone mode, enter 4 digits of the PW access password. After successful entry, we hear a confirmation beep and a request to enter the PS access password, also consisting of 4 digits:
— Enter password number 2!
Again in tone mode we dial 4 digits, now the PS access password. After successful entry, we hear a sound confirmation. The M1 phone number and passwords PW and PS will be recorded in the module’s memory, and a confirmation SMS message with the recorded data will be sent to the M1 phone (I recommend rewriting the passwords and deleting the SMS from the phone’s history).
Module initialization
If the module does not control the security system regardless of the channel (SMS, calls, application, website), then it is necessary to carry out the initialization procedure (linking the module with the main unit).
For this:
- press the service (VALET) button 7 times and turn on the ignition without pausing;
- 7 short signals should be played;
- after that, wait for three flashes of the emergency lights and a melody on the key fob (after about 30–60 seconds);
- turn off the ignition.
If everything is done correctly, the GSM module icon will appear on the key fob:
It wouldn’t hurt to immediately connect the application to your online telemetry account. To do this, download the appropriate version of your smartphone’s OS, and when you first start, log in using the data from the red card included in the kit:
Recommendations for installing car alarm components
Although the connection diagrams and installation maps differ for Starline alarm models, the locations of the main components are identical.
According to the numbers on the diagram, the main components are placed as follows:
- The central control unit is usually located under the center console near the driver's seat or behind the glove box. It is better not to install the unit in the engine compartment, since there are a large number of devices there that can affect the purity of the digital signal. In addition, the control unit contains a temperature sensor, so there should be no heat sources nearby, for example, heating system pipes.
- The transceiver module together with the antenna is installed in the upper part of the cabin, usually in the area of the windshield, to improve the quality of signal reception and increase the maximum control range. It is necessary to ensure that there are no metal objects or other electronic devices nearby. The distance must be at least 5 cm. The transceiver is connected to the 5-pin output, which is located on the control unit using the wire that comes with the car alarm.
- A flashing LED informing about the status of the security system is connected to a 2-pin output in the central unit. If the indicator flashes, it means the car is protected. A non-working indicator indicates that the car alarm is disabled. It is advisable to place the LED in the area of the windshield so that it is visible from a distance and informs the driver that the alarm is activated.
- The siren is mounted in the engine compartment away from heat sources, with the horn facing down so that moisture does not accumulate. If the siren operates for a long time after the alarm is triggered, it may fail. To prevent such a situation, it is advisable to include a 5A fuse for the siren in the electrical network.
- The power unit temperature sensor is attached to a metal part of the cooling system, preferably close to the thermostat, near the standard coolant temperature regulators.
Limit switches for the luggage compartment and hood must be installed so that there is a gap of at least 3 mm when closing. They must be in reliable contact with the body (video author - AvtoDobryak.ru).
The secret Valet button is installed in a place where it is difficult for an attacker to reach when breaking into a vehicle. With its help, the security system is switched to service mode. Similar requirements apply to installing a button to activate the anti-robbery mode. Both buttons are connected by wire to the control unit.
The two-level shock sensor is connected to the control unit using a four-wire cable. Before you turn on the sound on the Starline alarm system, you need to correctly adjust the sensitivity of the sensor during installation. If the sensitivity is too high, false alarms may occur due to strong gusts of wind or from passing cars. The adjustment is carried out using potentiometers located on the regulator body.
Engine blocking increases the anti-theft characteristics of the alarm, as the thief will face serious problems after breaking into the car. Connection to the system is carried out via a black-yellow cable, but you need to program the connector type to HP. These actions are performed according to the instructions and connection diagram for the Starline alarm system.
Installation should begin by connecting the power wires of the main units. The negative must be connected to the standard mounting bolts of the car's grounding wires. They are located either in the area of the mounting block or in the front of the car in the lower corners. If you cannot find the fastening bolts, you can make your own ground fasteners to the metal parts of the body for grounding. Typically, such fasteners are mounted under the dashboard.
To enable the autostart mode, the alarm system has an immobilizer bypass.
What to do if a car alarm starts to take on a life of its own

This is usually said if the alarm system starts to go off randomly in security mode, does not allow you to disarm the car, or performs other independent actions that are not associated with human activity or other factors. In this case you should:
p, blockquote51,0,0,0,0—>
- check the limit switches of all doors, hood, trunk, there may be rattling;
- examine the installation location of the central car alarm unit (for moisture leakage), its elements, power circuits (no sparking);
- check the key fob battery;
- If the previous steps do not reveal a malfunction, reset to factory settings.
If the set of measures listed does not change the situation, you need to temporarily turn off the alarm and contact a specialist.

How to install it yourself?
The system installation procedure is as follows:
- The battery is turned off because the on-board network must be de-energized. The ignition in the car must be turned off.
- The microprocessor unit is being installed. This device is installed first, since wires from all components of the anti-theft system will be supplied to it. It must be placed in a secret place, preferably dry and inaccessible to strangers. It is best to install the module behind the dashboard, in this case, if the car is broken into, it will take a criminal time to find it. The block must be properly fixed using self-tapping screws or clamps so that it does not vibrate during movement.
- A siren is installed under the hood of the car. It should be placed with the horn facing down so that moisture does not collect inside the device. The siren should be installed away from the engine. After installation, you need to make sure that there is no access to the device and wires from under the bottom of the car.
- Limit switches are installed on the hood, luggage compartment and each door. To do this, you will have to dismantle the upholstery, since the wires from the switches will pass under it. They must be placed so that there is no access to the devices when the doors are locked.
- The shock and tilt controller is installed in the central part of the body. It can be placed on a partition that separates the car interior and the engine compartment, the main thing is not under the bottom of the vehicle. In this case, the attacker will have the opportunity to dismantle the device. The shock sensor must be fixed on a flat surface; there should be no plastic or rubber gaskets between it and the controller. Their presence will cause the device to function incorrectly.
- The antenna module with indicator light is being installed. It is recommended to place the device on the windshield of the car, in the cabin. Before performing the task, the internal surface is cleaned and degreased; this will allow the transceiver to be effectively fixed. There should be no metal parts or electronic devices near the device at least 4 cm, as this will cause interference with its operation. The wiring from the antenna adapter must be laid under the side rack trim, and the transceiver itself must be placed as high as possible on the glass.
- A service key is installed to control the emergency mode. It must be placed in an inaccessible place, but so that the consumer has access to it from the driver’s seat. You can place the button under the instrument panel and wrap it with electrical tape to disguise it as a harness with standard wiring. But you need to remember where it is located.
- All elements are connected via CAN bus. The wiring is laid under the interior trim; to do this, it must be dismantled. Additionally, the cables can be wrapped with electrical tape. This will increase security in the event of a break-in, since the criminal will have to deal with the conductors, and also prevent them from quickly deteriorating.
