Operating instructions for StarLine A61 alarm system with auto start
To correctly install and configure the automatic start module for Starline A61 M31, you can use the detailed instructions from the manufacturer. It is also available in pdf format for downloading or viewing.
Good day. I have a question about the Starline A64 alarm system. The question is related to autostart. He sets some strange conditions for the implementation of this function. That is, in order to remotely start the engine, you must first turn off the engine with an alarm (for example, you arrived at work, took the key out of the lock, the car continued to work, got out of it, set the alarm and it died), it seems to be good and autostart works when such actions. But if I need to get into the car during the day, I open it, take what I need and set the alarm again, then it is after that that it gives an error, like this neutral has not been maintained. I'm wondering if it's possible to somehow change these conditions so that it starts no matter how I get out of the car, what hand I scratch my butt with, etc.

How to install?
Installation Guide:
- The microprocessor module is mounted inside the car. It is not allowed to be installed in the luggage compartment or under the hood. It is advisable to choose a hidden place for installation. For example, behind the control panel or in the free space behind the center console.
- Depending on the chosen installation location, the plastic lining around the steering wheel or dashboard is dismantled. There is a temperature controller inside the microprocessor unit, so the device must be installed away from heat sources. If the unit may be exposed to moisture at the installation site, it must be installed with the connector facing down to prevent liquid from getting inside. Secure the device with screws or ties to prevent it from vibrating.
- The antenna module is fixed on the inner surface of the windshield (it must first be washed and degreased). There should be metal parts of the body no closer than 5 cm from the transceiver, this will ensure the best range of the communicator. Inside the antenna module housing there is a tilt and shock controller. To prevent the controller from operating without reason, it should not be placed on the plastic lining in the passenger compartment.
- An LED indicator is installed on the dashboard or center console. Its installation must be done so that when blinking the light bulb is visible from the street.
- A siren is being installed in the engine compartment. It should not be installed near the cylinder block or sources of moisture. The horn of the device is located downwards, this will prevent the accumulation of moisture inside. Choose a place for installation so that there is no access to the siren and its electrical circuits from under the bottom of the car. If you purchased a siren with a built-in battery (autonomous), then during installation you must ensure unobstructed access to its lock.
- The service button is mounted in the cabin. It is advisable to hide it; to do this, the key can be disguised as one of the bundles with standard wiring.
- After installing all the components, the electrical lines are laid under the plastic upholstery. When laying, please note that electrical circuits should be placed as far as possible from possible sources of interference. These include high-voltage cables, ignition coils, electronic devices, etc. After installation, wires should not come into contact with moving structural elements.

StarLine A61 autostart module
For the StarLine A61 anti-theft complex, the M31 module is the only opportunity to acquire the auto-start option for the power plant. But this is not the only advantage of this device. Along with the desired function of setting up remote start, the car owner also gets the opportunity to:
- turn off the windshield wipers using remote commands;
- turn on and off remotely the heated seats or windows in the cabin;
- simulate the functioning of an intelligent ignition switch;
- program all the necessary engine parameters;
- simulate a second starter signal in the event of an unsuccessful engine start during the first start.
One of the main advantages of the module is its versatility. It can be easily installed on any car model, no matter what type it is.
User manual
Full use of all options is allowed only after binding the key fob.
Guide to linking the keychain:
- Turn off the ignition with the key in the Off position. With the system turned off, click on the service button seven times, then set the key in the lock to the ACC position. The siren speaker will play seven beeps, this indicates successful entry into the binding mode.
- Simultaneously click on the first and second pager keys. The siren speaker will play one sound pulse, and one melodic signal will be played by the remote control beepper.
- The previous paragraph is repeated for programming each communicator. The time interval between binding each subsequent remote control should be no more than five seconds.
- When the communicators are paired, you need to exit the programming mode. To do this, turn off the ignition. The car's lights should blink three times.

How to disable?
If you were able to turn on the security, but cannot turn it off using the key fob, you can disable the security mode using the service button. For emergency shutdown, the consumer must know the password.
Procedure for turning off the alarm:
- The door lock is opened with a key, the alarm siren will start playing alarm pulses. If the protective mode was activated without using the communicator, the vehicle's lights will blink four times.
- Activate the ignition by inserting the key into the lock and turning it to the ACC position. Click on the service key several times. The number of presses must correspond to the first digit of the code. If it is 8, then the key is pressed eight times. When using a unique password, the alarm will disable the protective mode and the lights will blink twice. If the password is two-digit, then after entering the first digit the ignition is turned off.
- The ignition is turned on again. The second digit of the password is entered into the service key. If the code was entered correctly, the protective function will be deactivated and the lights will blink twice. If a three-digit password is used, the ignition is turned off.
- The key is again set to the ACC position, and the third digit of the password is entered.
Malfunctions that may require emergency shutdown of the alarm are described in the Falcrums channel video.
Is there auto start?
Initially, the Starline A64 alarm system does not have the option of automatic engine start. But it can be implemented by installing an additional special module from Starline M21 or M31.
Installation of these devices can lead to the following consequences:
- Starting the power unit will only be possible using a smartphone application, as well as by calling and sending messages. Using a standard communicator will not allow you to configure this function.
- There may be nuances regarding engine blocking. The consumer may have to block the ignition zone with the M21 or M31 module. The same goes for restoring blocked electrical circuits. It is almost impossible to perform the correct setup yourself; you will have to contact qualified installers.
- Locks performed by the Starline A64 anti-theft complex will be canceled using the TX cable, which is blue. It is possible that the firmware of the M31 module and the A64 microprocessor unit will be different. As a result, you can try to solve the problem by updating the software. However, this procedure may be meaningless due to hardware incompatibility.
How to check if there is autorun?
The verification algorithm is not that complicated, follow all the steps sequentially:
- Put the car on the handbrake, move the gear selector to neutral position.
- Turn off the ignition; if the engine stalls, use the starter to start it again.
- Next, on the Starline key fob, press the button with the key icon.
- Now try to remove the key from the ignition, if you succeed, then your car has auto start. When you lock the doors, the engine will automatically stop after 30-60 seconds.
If, when you press the autostart button, you hear the engine cranking, but the engine does not start, you should check the settings. Read the security alarm operating manual carefully, then you can configure its operation correctly.
Malfunctions and ways to eliminate them
Problems that the consumer may encounter:
- The alarm does not respond to commands sent. First of all, you need to diagnose the condition of the battery installed in the key fob. The battery is changed by removing the cover and removing the old power source. When replacing, observe polarity.
- The signaling system reacts to sending commands every once in a while. The reason may be that the control button on your device is damaged or worn out. To solve the problem, you will have to disassemble the device case, clean it and replace the damaged button. To do this, you will need a soldering iron with a thin tip, as well as consumables (rosin and tin). If purchasing a new button is problematic, monitor the secondary market.
- The range of the communicator has decreased. The problem may be that the battery is low. If the battery is working, you need to check the transceiver. Incorrect installation will result in reduced range. It may make sense to reinstall the device.
- The alarm does not block all doors. The reason should be sought in the wires. Using a multimeter or voltmeter, the integrity of electrical circuits is diagnosed. If damaged wires are found, they must be replaced. If the cable insulation wears out, it is also recommended to change it. Before re-installation, we recommend additionally wrapping them with electrical tape, this will prevent rapid wear of the electrical circuits.
- If the alarm does not work correctly, “glitches”, or turns on and off the protection mode for no reason, check the microprocessor unit. Malfunctions in the operation of the module may be due to the need to update the firmware or external influences. The latter include mechanical damage, regular vibrations, and moisture ingress. To solve problems, we recommend drying the module and checking its operation again. If the problems persist, you need to seek help from a specialist to reflash the device.

Alarm Starline autostart from key fob
Remote autostart starline
Before learning how to perform starline remote autostart, it is important to study some features. In order for you to be able to enable autostart from the key fob, it is important to meet the following conditions:
- The first step is to put the car on the parking brake.
- Turn the key in the ignition switch, and then remove the key (the engine must be turned off).
- Next, move the gearbox lever to the neutral position.
- Finally, it is worth closing all the doors tightly, as well as the trunk and hood.
Only if all the above conditions are met, then only in this case the security alarm will allow you to set it to autostart.
Switching to security mode with auto-start is also carried out in a special way:
- Park and then put the car on the handbrake.
- Move the gearbox selector to neutral.
- Hold down button 1 on the key fob for 3 seconds, after which a ringing melody will sound.
- Remove the key from the ignition.
- Get out of the car (check that the doors are closed tightly). If you did everything correctly, the alarm will automatically turn off the engine, after which it will switch the alarm to security mode.
To perform a car factory remotely there are 2 ways:
- Press button 1 for exactly 3 seconds, and then press button 3 until the signal appears.
- Select the “start” icon, and then press button 2 once.
If the engine starts, you will see the symbol “exhaust gases” on the screen. The car will warm up for the time that you previously set in the settings. 1 minute before turning off the engine, the code “r01” will appear on the display. If the time is up, this code will change to “r00”.
Auto start on alarm clock
First of all, check the time of the on-board computer, it should be as accurate as possible. To enable auto start on an alarm clock, you must follow all the steps according to the instructions:
- First, enable the option on the keychain with the bell icon.
- Having set the desired time for the alarm, press keys 3 and 1 in turn, confirm your choice on the dial icon. If autostart is configured correctly, the car will blink its side lights.
When the function is turned on, the picture of the bell and dial will change on the display, and a long melody will also be heard.
Auto start by timer
Activation of this option is done as follows:
- Move the cursor over the hourglass, then confirm your choice by successively pressing buttons 3 and 1.
- Set the desired time, and then confirm the activation of the function in the same way.
If you decide to disable the enabled engine start by timer, then this is very simple - press button 2 twice quickly. The previous timer display will disappear from the display, and the key fob will also notify you with a signal that the timer has been turned off.
Autostart based on temperature indicators
This option is one of the most useful; sensors monitor the ambient temperature, and when the desired temperature is reached, the engine starts. You can activate the option using these instructions:

How to install autostart on Starline A61 alarm system
Before proceeding with installation, you must make sure that the selected location is not close to the radio or walkie-talkie. Otherwise, radio interference will interfere with the correct transmission of the signal from the key fob and you will have to reinstall it.
In general, the M31 installation instructions are quite simple and allow for independent installation of the device. To install the module, you must perform the following steps:
- First of all, insert a SIM card inside the module, which is used to connect the system with the car owner’s mobile phone. The card is placed in a special hole hidden by a lid. This action must be performed with the power turned off. You can use SIM cards from any operator, although in some cases they are included with the device when you purchase it. But the consumer is not obliged to use the SIM cards supplied by the manufacturer.
- At the next stage, the module itself is installed. A rather secretive place in the cabin is chosen for it, but one to which the driver has free access. Most often, this is the area behind the dashboard or control panel. M31 is placed so that the connector faces down - this will protect the device from moisture. Secure in place using plastic clamps or the included sticker. In some cases, it is possible to use self-tapping screws. The reliability of the fastening plays a big role, since vibrations of the car while driving can lead to incorrect operation of the module or even damage to it.
- Finally, the module is connected. To do this, it is connected to the main control unit of the anti-theft complex, using the block provided by the manufacturer with three contacts on it. The required connector is colored blue. To connect, you need to use the cable that is included in the package.
