How to install a Pandora DX-50 alarm system?
Installation Guide:
- Turn off the ignition in the car and open the hood. Installation of the “alarm” begins with the fact that it is necessary to de-energize the on-board network of the car. Using a wrench, loosen the terminal on the battery and disconnect it, put it aside.
- Consider where you will install the central unit. The device must be installed in a place inaccessible to a potential criminal. But you just need to install it in the cabin, and not in the trunk or engine compartment. It is not a good idea to place the unit under the driver's seat or under the center console in the area of the handle for opening the hood, since these places are checked by car thieves first. It is better to place the device behind the dashboard or glove compartment. For installation, disassemble part of the lining in the area of the steering column of the passenger compartment. Unscrew the screws that secure the control panel and disconnect all connected plugs from it. Find a free space behind the dashboard and install the module in it. Secure the device with self-tapping screws. You can additionally wrap it in foam rubber to reduce the impact of vibrations.
- A siren is installed under the hood of the car. It should be installed in a more hidden location so that a potential criminal cannot find the device. Do not place the siren in close proximity to the power unit.
- To implement the option of autostarting the engine based on temperature, a temperature sensor must be installed in the engine compartment. It must be installed in one of the cooling system lines. The sensor cuts into the pipe and is securely fixed so that it is not washed away by the flow of coolant. The wires from the controller are routed outside. The electrical circuits from the sensor and siren should be immediately routed into the passenger compartment through a special technological hole in the partition separating the engine and the passenger compartment.
- The signal transceiver is installed inside the car. It should be placed as high as possible to ensure high-quality impulse transmission. The antenna is usually mounted on the windshield or side pillar. There should be no metal objects or mechanisms near it, as their presence will cause interference during signal transmission.
- A diode indicator should be installed in the area of the windshield. It is important that when the security mode is activated, when the light flashes, it can be seen from the street.
- Limit switches are installed on the hood, doors, and luggage compartment. The devices are mounted in standard places; if they are not available, holes of the required diameter are cut using a drill and cutter. The end switches are fixed in the seats with self-tapping screws. The wires from them are led out into the cabin to the control device.
- Install the Valet service button. It can be used for emergency shutdown of the alarm system, changing the password, and also setting up the complex. Therefore, you should choose a hidden installation location. You can disguise the service button as standard wiring, in one of the harnesses.
- Install a tilt and sensitivity sensor in the cabin. For installation, it is better to choose a place in the central part of the body. It is allowed to place the device on the partition separating the car interior from the engine compartment. Securely fix the sensor so that it does not vibrate. Otherwise, false alarms of the device may occur.
- At the last stage, all components of the security complex are connected to the central unit. To connect the devices, use the circuit included in the package.
User manual

Autostart
The functionality of the security system includes options for automatic and remote engine start. It is most relevant in cold or hot seasons and allows you to save free time on warming up the car interior in winter or cooling it in summer. You can perform a remote start using a key fob with a liquid crystal display. With it you can program autorun. Several engine starting modes are available:
- Scheduled.
- Every day at the set time.
- Upon reaching a certain battery charge level.
- At set intervals.
The system also has a turbo timer function.
Compactness of the complex
The layout of the security complex is monoblock. The main signaling module and the radio part, equipped with an 868 MHz antenna, are located in a compact central unit. Concealment of components and saving of space for placing the system are ensured due to the absence of an external wire antenna. On the body of the main unit there is a quick programming key and a micro-USB port, with which you can configure the system in detail.
False alarms of the security system are completely eliminated thanks to the digital tilt/shock/motion sensor with adaptive processing and the radio blocking relay on the Pandora DX50. The accelerometer functions and protects against tilt, impact and movement even when the car engine is running. The sensitivity of the sensor decreases only while the starter is operating. Each time the car alarm is turned on, the initial angle of the car’s position is recorded: even if it is parked at an angle, the complex will work and notify the owner.
Possibilities
The DX-50 security complex is developed on the basis of the LX 3257 system. This is one of the Pandora alarm models, characterized by a high remote control range and reliability. During production, the developers were able to preserve all the advantages and main characteristics, and also added many useful options. The security complex allows you to work with digital interfaces of many modern machines of foreign and domestic production. The presence of a LIN bus allows you to connect the security system to UAZ and Lada vehicles.
The system control module is equipped with a built-in accelerometer, characterized by the presence of adaptive mathematical processing. The central unit has features that security systems from other manufacturers do not have. For example, the system protects the car from impact, as well as movement and tilt when the engine is running. The sensitivity of the shock controller is reduced automatically when the internal combustion engine is started, when the starter device is cranked, and transient processes of the power unit also occur. An intelligent algorithm monitors this and automatically increases sensitivity after starting the internal combustion engine.
Pandora Clone - imitation of a standard key
The Pandora DX50 car alarm is connected via a CAN bus, which reads the signal produced by the standard key and stores it. When starting remotely and giving the appropriate signal to start the engine, the system simulates the signal from the standard key, which is received by the immobilizer and allows you to start the car engine.
Keyless way to bypass the immobilizer
The security system is integrated into the vehicle's electrical system via a LIN bus. When a command to start the engine is received, the standard immobilizer is switched off by an alarm, after which a signal is sent directly to the ECU to allow starting.
Both of these options eliminate the need to manufacture chips, use additional equipment, or have a standard key in the car to implement autostart.
Reviews about the Pandora DX50 system note that this function is not implemented on all vehicle models.
