How to install and connect the system

The installation instructions for the Magicar 7 system describe the connection diagram in detail and give the driver the opportunity to install it independently. To accomplish this task, you need to follow the following installation guide:

First you need to install an electrical circuit, which uses a microprocessor model. It is fixed under or behind the control panel after preliminary dismantling of the instrument panel. Depending on the features of the car model, you will need to remove the steering column trim and fasteners.
Next you need to fix the transceiver module on the inside of the windshield. When performing installation, you need to make sure that the distance to metal objects is at least 5 cm.
The call controller is installed in the corner of the windshield. Before this, the working surface is treated with an alcohol-based degreaser. When performing installation, you need to make sure that the sensor housing does not touch the plastic panels.
The warning siren is installed under the hood in a hidden place.
Limit switches can be installed on the hood or tailgate.
The remaining working units are fixed in the cabin.

Alarm Settings

To change system settings, use any of the previously registered key fobs. The car must be disarmed and the ignition must be turned off.

The system has two separate settings menus. The first menu is entered by pressing and holding buttons 1+2, and the second menu is entered by pressing and holding buttons 1+4. After the sound signal, you need to select the function number by pressing button 4 and make a short pause, after which the machine will sound the number of the selected function with siren signals. Using buttons 1,2,3 and 4 you can then set the desired function value.

In menu 1 the following functions are associated with autorun operation:

12: engine warm-up time at auto start, 5, 15, 25 or 45 minutes for settings 1 to 4, respectively.
13: Timer start type. In value 1, the launch occurs every 24 hours according to the time specified on the key fob, in values 2,3 and 4 - every 8,4 or 2 hours from the moment of activation.
14: limit the number of auto-starts, maximum 5, 7, 16. When set to 4, the number of timer starts is not limited.
16: autostart reservation type. In option 1, ignition interception occurs every time the ignition is turned off, but with a noticeable pause, during which the engine may stall. Option 2 introduces an additional condition: the doors must be closed. If you do not need auto start reservation at a specific moment, just open the door first and then turn off the ignition. There is also a delay before the ignition is intercepted. Therefore, the only adequately working backup option on Magicar 5 is manual reservation (function value 3), when you need to press and hold button 2 of the key fob before turning off the ignition.
17: way to complete the algorithm. In option 1, the car will stall after closing the door without arming, in option 2 - similarly, but with automatic arming. In option 3, the engine will stall only after manual arming. This is the only method you should use.
20: limitation of periodic starts based on battery voltage. In option 1 it is not set, option 2 sets a threshold of 11.5 V - until the voltage drops below, the start will be blocked. If you select to run every 24 hours, the setting is ignored.
21: autostart temperature threshold. In option 1 it is not installed, in options 2-4 the temperature is set to -15, -25 and 60 degrees, respectively (the last option is for operating the air conditioner in the heat).

In menu 2 autorun settings you need:

12: minimum starter rotation time, 0.6, 0.8, 1.2 or 2 seconds. It should be set to the possible minimum, since there is no automatic starter cut-off, as with alarms with a tachometer input.
13: maximum starter rotation time, 2, 4, 8, 10 sec. It should also be as low as possible in order to preserve the life of the starter and flywheel ring gear.
14: increase in starter rotation time during subsequent starting attempts after an unsuccessful one. In option 1, each new start attempt lasts 0.2 s longer than the previous one, in option 2 – by 0.4 s. Option 3 sets the fixed scroll time set by function 12.
15: pause between turning on the ignition and attempting to start, 2, 4, 8 and 10 seconds. The first two options are relevant for gasoline engines, options 3 and 4 – for diesel engines with glow plugs.
16: pause after stopping the engine until the ignition is turned off. 0, 4, 15 seconds or 4 with restart attempts.

The remaining autorun settings are related to the connection diagram to a specific car and should not be changed by the user.

User manual

Automatic engine starting is possible only after the system has been correctly configured. To do this, you need to study the Magicar 7 instructions for dummies in Russian, which describe in detail all the intricacies of programming. The instruction manual will help you set up the system yourself in a couple of minutes.

Purpose of buttons and icons

The functions of the car alarm buttons are specified in the instructions. Before starting the system, you need to carefully study them.

How to program a key fob

The key fob is programmed as follows:

When starting to install the system, you need to disable the security functions, place the ignition key in the “On” position and hold the call sensor button for 2 seconds.
Over the next 5 seconds, you need to make 1 more press.
Next, press the call sensor key the required number of times (it must correspond to the first digit of the password). A similar action is carried out for the remaining numbers.

To avoid mistakes, you need to follow the programming table.

Emergency disarming

How to turn off the alarm if the key fob is broken or the battery runs out at the wrong time? Magicar 7 has an emergency shutdown algorithm that can be used both with and without PIN code protection activated (factory setting).

Please note that without PIN code protection, it is very easy to turn off the alarm. It is enough to open the door with the key, turn on the ignition, hold down the button on the call sensor for 2 seconds, and then briefly press it again. That’s it – the system will be disarmed.

Therefore, we recommend that you definitely program a PIN code, since with it, in order to disarm the car without a key fob, you will need to enter the code each time in the same way as described above for programming key fobs.

Activation of PIN code protection is carried out as follows:

The car must be disarmed without turning on the ignition.
The required settings item is located in the first programming menu; to enter it you need to press and hold buttons 1 and 4 on the key fob. For the second menu, which will be described below, you need to press buttons 2 and 4.
Using button 4, the number of the desired function is dialed - in this case it is function 6, that is, the button is pressed 6 times. The system will confirm each press with a single beep.
Having selected the desired function, wait until the system repeats its number with sound signals.
Press one of the four buttons on the key fob to set the desired function value. In option 1 the PIN code is disabled, option 2 sets a four-digit PIN code, option 3 sets a two-digit PIN code. Option 4 is not used for this feature.
Wait 4 seconds until the system exits programming mode.

The pin code is now activated, its factory value is 11 for two digits or 1111 for four digits. Next we set our own code:

Having disarmed the car, open the door and leave it open (important!)
Having turned on the ignition, hold down buttons 3 and 4 on the key fob. After a single siren signal, we proceed to input.
Enter the first digit of the code by pressing one of the key fob buttons. The entered number will correspond to the number of the pressed button.
After the system repeats the entered digit with the appropriate number of signals, enter the second, third, and fourth in the same way.
After entering the last digit of the code, the system will automatically return to normal mode.

Interestingly, the system has two PIN codes: we discussed above the use of PIN code 1. There is also a second code, which does not have a factory value and has strictly 4 digits, which can take values from 1 to 9 - that is, if the PIN -code 1 has a maximum of 16 options, while pin code 2 has more than 6 thousand.

PIN code 2 protection is activated in function 1-7, which must be set to value 2. Next, write down PIN code 2 (note that it can be used in conjunction with PIN code 1, since the input method for emergency disarming of the machine is different):

After disarming the car, leave the driver's door open.
Turn on the ignition.
We hit the glass at the location where the call sensor is installed 10 times - after each hit, the sensor should emit a short red flash.
After the tenth strike, the LED should start blinking blue quickly.
Next, we enter the first digit of the code with blows and wait for a while - the LED will stop constantly blinking and repeat the entered digit with separate flashes, then start blinking again.
In the same way, enter three more numbers.
The recording mode will be exited automatically after entering the last digit.

Emergency disarming occurs in the same way - we activate the entry mode with ten blows (note that for this you do not need to open the doors or turn on the ignition), then “tap” the code numbers one by one. After successfully entering the last digit, the machine will open.

How to turn Magikar 7 into security mode without a key fob? In exactly the same way: by closing the doors and “knocking” PIN code 2.

The siren will give a specific signal.
The emergency light will turn on once.
The LED indicator will blink once per second.
The main key fob will emit a short signal.

It will not be possible to start the car if the parking brake is not applied. Owners of cars with a manual transmission are forced to first perform a backup procedure for starting the engine.

If, after doing the above, the engine does not start the first time, the system will try to start the engine two more times. The remote engine start did not work, which means you need to contact service.

To turn off the engine, you need to press the button on the main key fob II for 2 seconds. The shock sensor should turn on half a minute after the engine is turned off.

You managed to turn off the car using the key fob if this is indicated by:

Siren sound twice.

The motor is in activated state.
Ignition circuit is disconnected.
The door is not closed.
The user has not configured the start backup features for the manual transmission.
The handbrake lever is deactivated.
The brake pedal is depressed.

If other errors are made, the indicator lights will blink 8 times. To fix this problem, you will need to seek help from a specialist, but do not try to solve it yourself.

How to use the alarm

The user manual supplied with the equipment contains a section devoted to working with the communicator. There is a separate chapter describing the functioning of the security complex. The driver of the car is recommended to study the manual and then write out individual sections (for example, a description of the emergency shutdown algorithm) in the form of a memo, which is stored along with the documents for the car.
