To ensure that the instruction manual is always at hand at the right time, you can download it from the links below.

Modern anti-theft systems produced by the Pandora brand are very popular in the Russian market. This is due to their reliability, functionality and practicality. To figure out how to use such a system, you should study the Pandora alarm device, the operating instructions for the key fob and other operating points.

Comparison with competitors StarLine and Scher-Khan

The Pandora DX-9x review also includes a comparison with 2 car alarm models from other brands - StarLine A93 and Scher-Khan Mobicar B.

If we compare the DX-9x with Scher-Khan products, the closest in functionality is the Mobicar B model. The second anti-theft system is cheaper. It has a similar set of functions (automatic start, control from an iPhone or Android smartphone, intelligent turbo timer), but is inferior to the Pandora security system in terms of burglary resistance and operational reliability.

Identification of symbols and buttons

If we consider the Pandora DXL model, the key fob will have 5 buttons and an informative LCD monitor, where symbols of basic functions are indicated. To understand what these icons mean, you need to study each icon separately and become familiar with the indications.

On the DXL5000 signaling the buttons are designed for the following tasks:

Enabling security functions.
Disabling security.
Switching modes and deactivating the “Panic” option.
Checking the status.
Emergency call.

There are a large number of icons on the LCD screen. Their designation is indicated in the operating instructions.

Setup via Pandora Alarm Studio

The differences of this program are support for Bluetooth connection and work with a proprietary server that provides CLONE technology (creating a software copy of the standard immobilizer chip). However, this program is more complex and, being intended for branded installation centers, will require registration. The simplest registration without confirming your work with an official Pandora partner is possible, but...

Key fob programming

The communicator is entered into the microprocessor unit using the “Valet” service button. To configure the remote control, you need to do the following:

Disconnect the ignition circuit.
Turn on the pager.
Find the service button and press it the required number of times, which will correspond to the PIN code.

When you enter 1 digit, you should wait for the light indication and only then enter the next values. Depending on the signaling model, the programming principle may vary. Thus, the DXL3210, DXL3000 and DXL1870i devices are programmed according to the following instructions:

Turn off the ignition and press the service button once.
Hold down the remaining buttons until a sound or light appears.
Wait for the sound to sound once.

Manual

To configure the Pandora alarm without using computer programs, you need to launch the corresponding option using the “Valet” service button. In most cases, recording and resetting the configuration is carried out by sequentially pressing “Valet” and the ignition key. The designation of all symbols and combination of settings are indicated in the instruction manual.

To link a key fob or remote control, you need to perform the following steps:

Launch the communicator.
Turn off the ignition.
Enter the secret code value by pressing the service button (the number of presses depends on the numbers in the code). After this, the indication should blink red. The steps are repeated for all other values. If the entire code is entered correctly, the key fob will emit 2 light alerts, which will confirm that the programming mode has been activated.
Next you need to click on “Jack” so that the signal sounds. If you manage to program the system within 20 seconds, the settings will be saved. Otherwise you will have to do everything all over again.
The next step is to simultaneously press all 3 buttons on the key fob until a sound alert appears.
When the recording is completed, all that remains is to press the service button again to confirm exiting the programming mode.

How to start with key fob

Remote engine starting is possible only if several prerequisites are met. This is necessary in order to prevent unauthorized access to control the vehicle and minimize the likelihood of theft.

You can start the engine using the Pandora car alarm remote control under the following conditions:

the security system is switched to security mode;
handbrake is on;
the lever is in “P” mode.

In all other cases, it will be impossible to start the engine from the key fob.

When using an automatic or manual transmission, the process of turning on the engine will be approximately the same. The vehicle owner's task is to:

On the control panel, press the key with the image of a closed lock and hold it for 3 seconds.
The key fob will emit 3 loud beeps, which will indicate the start of the engine.
A flashing fan icon and a crossed out icon of the switched off shock sensor will appear on the remote control display.
After a few seconds, the security system will start the engine.
When the engine is started, an image of a rotating fan will appear on the screen.
The device will notify you of the completion of the process with a long beep.

How to enable autorun

To activate the automatic engine start mode on the Pandora alarm key fob, you must carefully study the operating instructions. Sometimes technical concepts and symbols remain unclear to drivers, so in order to simplify setup, beginners can watch training videos and detailed instructions.

Most basic commands are set using the keys on the pager. The principle of autostart is to send an electronic signal from a key fob or mobile application. It is also performed according to a given timer, on-board voltage or temperature indicators inside the cabin. Modern alarms from Pandora use the following option control options:

Timer control. The car owner using the system sets the desired time interval, after which the power plant will autostart.
Key fob control. The user independently turns on the engine using a communicator without leaving the room.
Launch via SMS message. The car owner sends the required command from a mobile phone, which is convenient.
Launch via the Internet. The function is convenient for those drivers who are far from their car.

To turn the engine on and off from the pager, you must perform the following steps:

Turn off the ignition.
Activate security functions.
Hold the arm button for 5 seconds.

To deactivate, similar steps are performed.

Troubleshooting

Autorun may not work well for the following reasons:

the mode is set incorrectly;
no handbrake control;
The battery is dead.

To properly configure autostart from your communicator, it is recommended to turn off the car and arm it for 5 seconds. Then press the security mode activation key three times. The engine will start. The actions are repeated and the engine stalls. Now you can program the remote start of the power plant based on temperature and timer.

If autostart based on temperature does not work, the reasons may be different. You need to carefully check all settings. The engine temperature sensor may be faulty. Some models will require a firmware update to restore automatic startup. The cause of the problem may be oxidation of the contacts. In case of major problems, it is recommended to contact a service center.

Table: causes and methods of eliminating autorun not working

If the remote starting of the motor does not work or difficulties arise in the operation of the option, it is necessary to determine the reason:

Problem	Corrective Actions
Low battery in remote control	The battery changes: The back cover of the communicator opens. The battery is removed from the device. A new power supply is inserted into the rear compartment. The device lid closes and the remote control turns on.
Failure of the key fob	You can fix the problem yourself only if the defect is not serious: The battery is removed from the remote control. The device body is disassembled. To do this, use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the screw that secures its parts. The board is removed from the key fob. All components of the remote control are diagnosed. If damage to the buttons is visible, the controls are replaced with new ones by soldering. All components are cleaned from dust. If the remote control has been exposed to moisture, the board must be dried. Software malfunctions can only be eliminated by flashing the device. The remote control is assembled in the reverse order.
Incorrect installation of system elements	You need to make sure that all components are installed correctly. The antenna module must be fixed on the glass as high as possible to ensure high-quality signal transmission. The temperature sensor must be mounted directly to the engine or adjacent components. If necessary, the controller is reinstalled. A possible reason may be that the locking relay is connected incorrectly; you need to check the quality of the connection.
Conflict between the standard immobilizer and the alarm blocker	To fix this problem, there are two ways: Disable the standard immobilizer. This option calls into question the reliability of the car's protection. Install an additional blocker bypass module.
Malfunction of the components of the ignition system	To fix the problem, you need to diagnose and replace damaged components, meaning: spark plug; high voltage wires; egnition lock; distribution unit (distributor); contacts on all constituent elements (the reason may be their oxidation).
Lack of preparation of the car for autostart	To fix the problem, you need to configure the “Software Neutral” option
Service mode enabled	This feature must be disabled
Damage to alarm wires	To resolve the problem, follow these steps: The integrity of all electrical circuits of the security system is visually checked. If no visible damage is found on the wires, they are tested using a multimeter. Defective electrical circuits are replaced with new ones of the appropriate cross-section. After replacing the cable, you can wrap it with electrical tape to prevent rapid wear.
Low battery	When the mains voltage drops, the battery may not have enough capacity to start the engine. You need to visually check the battery. If there are cracks on its body, the device is replaced with a new one. The battery voltage is also diagnosed using a multimeter. With the engine turned off, the operating parameter should be about 12.5-13 volts, and on a car with the engine running - about 13.4 V.

Possible problems and their solutions

Like any other gadget, the Pandora alarm key fob often malfunctions. In most cases, they are associated with the inexperience of the car owner and non-compliance with programming rules.

Drivers often encounter this problem when all the settings are set correctly, the power unit starts and warms up at the appropriate temperature value or time interval, but after stopping, the autostart stops functioning. The cause of this problem may be the temperature dropping below the set parameter. As a result, the engine will refuse to start and the user will have to re-tune it. As an additional measure, you should check whether there is a temperature prohibition on starting.

With proper and timely maintenance, the security system will last up to 10 years.

Specifications

Pandora car alarms differ from their competitors in the high quality of their parts and their security against code reading and interception. Most keychains are made of ABS plastic, which makes them shock-resistant. All joints of the case are sealed, and the buttons have special stops. This allows you to prevent moisture from entering the electronic components of the transmitter and reduce the load on the pressing mechanism.

The control unit is made of sealed plastic. All necessary sensors and controllers are connected to it, like other systems, via waterproof multi-pin connectors. This solution reduces the likelihood of contact oxidation and reduces the frequency of maintenance. In the latest models, the architecture of the board and microcircuits has been redesigned, which makes it possible to achieve a high response speed to the control panel command. Also, the updated circuit increased the service life of the device.

Many of the latest models, in addition to a large number of functions, are released with a label. The installed radio tag will reduce the likelihood of theft, including such a type of car theft as “hijacking”.

Key Features

Pandora alarms are equipped with a large number of different functions, for example, a “turbo timer” and “anti-hijack”.

Main features of car alarms with feedback:

Supports RFID tags and app control. This eliminates the need for large key rings.
Most sensors are built inside the control unit. This simplifies installation and makes it faster.
Setting up the system is done using software rather than analog. This achieves high accuracy and speed of work.
The use of a large number of semiconductor elements in the circuit, which makes the controller energy-saving and smaller in size.
Possibility to connect additional radio modules.

An example of the Pandora application

Alarm for those who don't need a key fob

Practice shows that the Pandora alarm system, installed in accordance with the operating instructions, is suitable for any car - both domestic and imported. One of the most budget-friendly is the Pandora 3910 alarm system, which, nevertheless, provides a high level of vehicle protection. This version of the security complex has several control options:

car owner's smartphone;
special immobilizer tags;
separate Internet service;
standard vehicle key.

The fact that there is no control key fob in the Pandora 3910 alarm system, according to reviews from car owners, does not limit the functionality of the system at all, and allows you to get rid of a fairly large “add-on” that you will need to constantly carry with you.

A smartphone, which almost every person keeps with them at all times, in this case will be an almost ideal alarm control device. The undoubted advantage of such a “remote control” is the fact that you can control an abandoned car from any distance from it. Using a smartphone, it is easy to control the temperature of the engine or interior, receive real-time information about the voltage value in the on-board network, send commands to autostart or turn on the preheater. In addition, you can additionally install a GPS module, which will make it possible to always have the exact coordinates of your car.

The control process can be carried out either by making calls to the system number, or by installing a special mobile application on your smartphone, available for iOS and Android platforms. The Pandora 3910 alarm system can be installed on any car. If there is a digital bus, this can be done using a CAN or 2CAN bus, and if there is no “digital”, the alarm can be installed analogue. The presence in this modification of special tags, which must be constantly with the driver, allow the immobilizer to recognize “its own” and not block the car’s engine.

Installation of car alarms with work algorithm

You need to install Pandora in the following order:

The car interior is being prepared for installation. The trim of the pillars and the instrument panel are removed. The on-board network is disconnected from the battery.
The control unit is fixed behind the “tidy” using screws. They must be properly tightened to avoid rattling and premature failure of the element.
The radio module is mounted on the rearview mirror, and the wiring is routed behind the trim. If possible, it is advisable to secure it with ties or special clamps.
The “Jack” button is located in the fuse compartment.
The main sensors and other attachments are installed. The siren is attached with self-tapping screws under the hood, and the temperature sensor is placed on the engine. If you place it in a different location, the controller will receive distorted data.
The alarm system is connected to the central locking (CL). If it is not installed on the car, then you need to purchase it. Without central locking (central locking), it is impossible to configure the correct operation of the equipment.
Limit switches are installed on the doors, trunk and hood.

Main features of the automotive security system

The basic functions that the Pandora alarm has include independent control over the following areas:

car doors;
trunk and hood limit switches;
starting the ignition system;
shock sensor signals;
brake release;
voltage value in the vehicle's electrical network;
triggering of a two-level motion (position) sensor.

Any incidents or triggering of security sensors automatically send a signal to the Pandora alarm key fob, and a record of the event is stored in the memory of the main unit of the system. It is noteworthy that the Pandora auto-start alarm system is an exclusively domestic development, so it is ideally suited for operation in the difficult climatic conditions of our country.

In addition, it implements such a large number of the latest, innovative developments that it is not inferior to the security systems that are equipped with all modern luxury-class cars. Depending on the specific modification of the Pandora security alarm, it may be standardly equipped with key fobs for two-way communication via a radio channel, a GSM module, and immobilizer tags, in the absence of which the car will not be able to move. There is also the possibility of integrating the module into the GPS/GLONASS system, which allows the vehicle to be provided with the maximum level of protection. The Pandora satellite alarm will allow you to quickly detect a car even when it is in underground parking lots, as well as independently track its location using the appropriate Internet services, access to which will be possible after connecting the appropriate package.

How to use the alarm (step by step instructions)

Before using the alarm, the manual recommends:

study the instructions;
install the device;
study the key fob and the purpose of its buttons;
Perform programming of the key fob and remote control.

Only after completing the above points can you begin to fully use the security system.

Control key fob

With its help, almost all available functions are activated and deactivated. This is realized by pressing certain buttons or their combinations.

Designation of symbols and buttons on the key fob

Most often, the main feedback control key fob is equipped with five keys and a liquid crystal display. Which buttons do what and their combinations are described in detail in the operating instructions.

For example, the Pandora DXL5000 buttons perform the following functions:

activation of security;
alarm deactivation;
switching between modes and disabling the “Panic” mode;
state of the system;
special SOS button.

Pandora DXL5000

The Pandora DX50 liquid crystal display has many icons, the designation of which can be seen in the instructions.

Key fob programming

The key fob is recorded in the control unit using the “Valet” service button.

VALET button

The Pandora alarm system with auto-start allows you to disable the security mode using the “Valet” service button:

Using the key, the first digit of the personal code is entered. The number of clicks must correspond to the sign.
The next three characters are entered in the same way.
If the password is entered correctly, the LED indicator will start blinking red and green. The security mode should be disabled.

The protection can be turned on using the service button, but the ignition must be turned off. The key is pressed and held for three seconds. Over the next 30 seconds, the user must exit the vehicle and close all doors. After thirty seconds, the security mode will be activated.

System programming

Working with modern Pandora control units can be done either manually or via a computer.

With the programming function you can:

— autorun settings; — resetting and recording key fobs and control panels; — equipment diagnostics and so on.

Manual

Programming without a PC and applications is performed using the Valet service button. Typically, recording and resetting is carried out by a sequence of pressing the button and the ignition key. Combinations of “clicks” are available in the operating instructions.

To bind a Pandora 3210 DXL key fob or remote control using the service button, you must complete the following steps:

Turn on the pager.
Turn off the ignition.
Enter your secret PIN code. To do this, you need to click on the “Jack” button the number of times that corresponds to the first number of the code. When you finish pressing, the indicator on the key fob will blink red. Perform this procedure for each PIN value. If it is entered correctly, the key fob will flash two indicators simultaneously. The control unit has entered programming mode.
Press “Valet” once, after which the alarm should sound a beep. Programming must be completed within 20 seconds, otherwise you will have to start all over again.
Press all 3 buttons on the key fob simultaneously and wait for the characteristic squeak from the alarm.
After finishing recording, press the service button once, which will confirm exiting the recording mode.

Computer

Programming via a running PC is performed by connecting the special cable that comes with the kit to the computer. Through the Pandora DXL Loader or Pandora Alarm Studio application and a simple interface, you can perform all the necessary settings or even diagnose the equipment.

For example, Pandora DXL Loader allows you to set up autorun in a few steps:

1) Connect the USB cable to the computer and control unit, and then launch the program. 2) To configure autorun, switch setting II-1.1 to “Allowed”. In the same way, activate the start during a voltage drop and its frequency. 3) Go to group II-1.1 and specify additional settings. 4) At the bottom of the screen, click the “record” button

Military technology to protect a civilian vehicle

The Pandora 5000 alarm system with auto start can be considered the most advanced security system for a car. The maximum degree of vehicle protection is ensured by using a proprietary dialogue code - this encryption technology is used in our country's military aviation. The Pandora 5000 new alarm system cannot be hacked using a code grabber (not a single such case has been recorded), and it is also impossible to “interfere” in the communication process between the units of the complex, since 128-bit AES encryption is used here.

Installation of the Pandora 5000 alarm system will require minimal “disassembly” of the car’s interior trim, since its main units “communicate” with each other via a secure wireless communication channel. The main key fob for the Pandora car alarm deserves special attention - it is equipped with an LCD display, has the ability to set different melodies for each event, allows you to control 12 security zones simultaneously and adjust the sensitivity of the sensors, displays the current temperature and state of the car battery. Naturally, the Pandora alarm system is equipped with instructions for operating the key fob.

The innovative (digital) interface of the Pandora car alarm allows you to connect directly to 2 digital buses of the vehicle. Unlike previous versions of the complex, Pandora 5000 new has a more advanced non-volatile memory unit, and overall power consumption has been kept to a minimum. This complex has a built-in GSM module and the ability to integrate into the GLONASS/GPS receiver system. Installing a Pandora alarm system allows you to control online car parameters such as:

its location;
cabin temperature;
power system parameters;
turn on wiretapping in the cabin;
track the locations and number of refills.

Despite the presence of a convenient key fob in the Pandora DXL 5000 alarm system, you can control the entire system via a smartphone; just install a specially designed mobile application on it, which can be downloaded on the official website for iOS and Android devices, and you can watch the process of managing the system in the video:

In addition to the fact that control of the Pandora alarm system via a smartphone has no range restrictions, it will be indispensable if it turns out that the key fob does not work (for example, the battery is dead). The mobile phone screen displays all current information about the car’s condition, and the owner can issue absolutely any supported commands, for example, remotely start the engine or turn on the air conditioning. This security system comes standard with two additional immobilizer tags, which allow you to unlock the car in Hands Free mode. Their use will prevent a situation where the driver is simply thrown out of a running car - the tag remains with him, and the car's immobilizer, having stopped receiving a signal from it, will simply block the engine.
