What is the first thing a person thinks about after buying a car? About its safety! The most popular way to protect your car from theft or accidental collision in a parking lot is to install an alarm system. In addition, the security system can combine other useful functions, for example, automatic engine start or remote trunk opening through an additional channel.

We install an alarm system on a Lada Granta with our own hands: connection points and diagram

Almost every owner of his car has thought about how to equip his iron horse with protection against theft. This also applies to owners of the Lada Granta, because the standard and standard configurations are not equipped from the factory with any anti-theft system other than an immobilizer. And in this article we will tell you how to install an alarm system on a car with your own hands, because in essence, despite the wide variety of different types and companies, the procedure for installing them is quite similar.

Alarm connection point options

Once you have decided to start installing the alarm yourself, you need to make a choice. Don't choose the latest model with the latest bells and whistles. It is enough to turn your attention to a strong middle peasant whose brand has long established itself in this market. Consider installation on a popular car alarm model from Starline .

Depending on the model, equipment may vary.

Since the manufacturer equipped the car from the factory with a limit switch only for the driver’s door, you should purchase new elements for the remaining three, as well as connection blocks, from the store.

In addition, you should purchase about 10 meters of wire, as well as an alarm bell (siren) if one is not included in the kit.

Step-by-step installation process

1. First of all, we install the alarm siren under the hood.

It is worth choosing a place for fixing it where there is no possibility of water ingress.

A European-type end cap (additional option) will easily fit into the base location.

After the wires are in the cabin, check the plug for secure fixation.

Not far from the shock sensor, we place a service button.

In most cases, the transmitter is attached using double-sided tape.

We fix the indicator on the stand body with glue.

From the end switch of the driver's door, we stretch the “positive” wires to the other doors.

We connect the alarm approximately according to this scheme:

General tips for installing alarms

• To supply power to the alarm unit, you should take energy only from the constant positive, which goes directly to the battery, bypassing fuse protection.
• It is best to attach the light indicator not to the dimensions (as recommended by the instructions), but to the turn signal network.
• If possible, the alarm antenna should be connected as close to metal parts as possible, as this will result in a better signal.
• After connecting all the elements, check and adjust the shock sensor to the optimal values.

Conclusions and Conclusion

As you can see for yourself, installing a car alarm yourself is not such a difficult task that a car enthusiast can face. All you need is a little desire and some theoretical preparation. After reading our instructions carefully and acting strictly in order, you can install the alarm within 3 hours.

Installation

Installing an alarm system on a Lada Granta with your own hands consists of several stages:

1. Removing the plastic trim of the steering column. Then the instrument cluster is removed and the card installed on the driver's door is removed. The parts are secured with screws and plastic pistons, which are removed with a special mounting spatula.
2. The installation point of the head unit depends on the dimensions and characteristics of the product. Small-sized modules of Starline or Pandora products are located behind the instrument cluster.
3. Connect the control diode to the front roof pillar trim on the driver's side. The antenna unit (some of the complexes contain an impact detection sensor) is glued to the upper edge of the windshield. If the owner has previously installed the unit on a different point on the glass, it is recommended to replace the layer of 2-sided adhesive tape that is applied to the module body at the factory.
4. The siren horn is placed in the engine compartment, the cable is routed into the vehicle interior through standard channels made in the engine panel. Since overheating of the housing leads to damage to the electronics of the unit, the horn is protected from the exhaust manifold. The base of the siren is secured with screws that are screwed into pre-drilled holes.
5. When installing an alarm with auto start, it is necessary to install a sensor that measures the temperature of the engine block. The device is secured with a nut in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations; it is prohibited to squeeze the element during installation.

Installation Rules

An alarm installation map (individual for each device model) is attached to the factory installation instructions. When performing installation work, secure fixation of the elements with screws or plastic clamps is ensured. When using 2-sided adhesive tape, the adhesive layer may be destroyed due to temperature changes, loose parts are damaged and can destroy the standard electrical wiring of the car.

It is not recommended to install parts of the security system next to the standard electronic controllers of the car. The location of the head unit is located at a distance from the ventilation ducts of the standard air conditioning unit. To ensure cooling, natural ventilation must be provided.

All work related to connecting electrical wiring is carried out with the vehicle de-energized.

The wires are connected by twisting; to improve the quality of contact, solder or special metal tubes are used. It is not recommended to cut cables that are not used for switching. The cords are neatly rolled into rolls and attached to the car’s structural parts with plastic clamps.

Immobilizer and its location

The immobilizer is a ring antenna located in the ignition circuit control lock. The plant equips cars with 2 keys, inside of which there is a special chip. If the microcircuit is correctly recognized, the blocking of the engine starting circuits is disabled. Automatic engine start, performed without a key, is only possible when an immobilizer bypass is installed. The device is a separate unit with a chip or a copy of the key; some alarms use an electronic unit that simulates the signal from a standard key.

To access the ignition switch connector, remove the steering shaft protective cover. To do this, first remove the plastic trim under the steering column (fastened with clips). Remove the decorative trim (fastening with clips). Unscrew the two bolts and five self-tapping screws securing the steering shaft protective casing and remove it. To access the wires of the LIN bus and the trunk limit switch, remove the driver's door threshold (fastened with five self-tapping screws).

Remove the instrument panel of Grant 2 . To do this, you must first remove the decorative trim (fastening with three screws), then unscrew the four fastening screws and remove the panel, disconnecting the connectors.

Finalization of the scheme

The installation or modification scheme will require special equipment to test the electrical circuit. The first place on the list of accessories is a tester and a soldering iron. You will also need a screwdriver, additional wires, electrical tape and a new sensor. When connected, the driver can use the button in the threshold or the door lock contacts.

To do this, you first need to open the sensor housing with a screwdriver and remove the element, remove the block with wires using a screwdriver. Then replace the wire and solder. Insulate the ends and assemble the structure in reverse order. The process is carried out in parallel so that the process involves elements that go to the working positions of the door.

Step-by-step installation of an alarm system on a Lada Granta with your own hands

The alarm is very useful and multifunctional.
With its help, you can protect your car from thieves or accidental collisions in the parking lot. More complex security systems are capable of using a key fob to open the trunk from a distance, start the engine, or perform a host of other interesting functions. Lada Granta models such as Norma and Standard do not have an anti-theft system in their factory equipment. The factory simply does not install them, since the designers considered this part superfluous, if you do not take the immobilizer into account.

That is why this article was created, since the relevance of the issue of installing an alarm system on the Lada Granta is soaring at exorbitant heights. Despite the fact that there is a huge range of security systems for cars on the market, they have almost identical installation schemes, with only minor differences.

Connection points

As soon as the thought of purchasing an alarm has occurred to you, you must first decide on your choice.
What exactly do you want from a security system? You only need protection or some other additional functions that a device of this kind can provide. It’s worth saying right away that in most cases there is no point in buying the most sophisticated newest model. A strong middle player will be more useful for Granta. Typically, brands of such systems quickly become popular or fly off the shelves like melted popsicles. An alarm system that has proven itself to be excellent will be in demand simply because it has been tested by many, and nowadays information reaches consumers much faster than even just five years ago.

The configuration of the security system completely depends on its model, so the presence or absence of any elements does not yet indicate a defect, etc.

Next, we will look at one of the proven autostart systems - Starline. It is chosen by car owners who prefer to service their iron horse themselves, rather than throw it into the hands of service station masters on every occasion. Moreover, this system is perfect not only for Grants standard, but also for liftback and luxury.

Features of installing an alarm system on Lada Granta

I'm completely tired of using the standard central locking. This was followed by the fact that a couple of times I forgot to lock the car before work (fortunately, the parking lot was near work), and when I remembered on the way, the standard key fob clearly did not have enough range.

As a result, it was decided to install an alarm with auto start, and with a normal range, according to reviews. The choice was not easy, I was tossing between Starline A 91 and SCHER-KHAN LOGICAR 2. In the end I decided on “SCHER-KHAN”.

I installed it in a friend’s garage, but only because I was confident in his professional knowledge. As a result, my hands guide his head. If you have never done this on your own, you shouldn’t start. So, let’s open and understand the wires of the mounting block, this is necessary for understanding, and so as not to cut off unnecessary things.

[adsense]

The central locking relay slightly jumped off the contacts, which is probably why it didn’t always work.

I was then faced with the choice of creating an additional secret button; at the moment it was possible to insert it into the ignition switch circuit, these three standard wiring. I changed my mind and am going to install an ignition switch from Garant. And later we’ll put a seal on the fuel pump.

And then the most interesting part begins - finding a place where we will crash. We take out the wiring harness from the central threshold and disassemble the wires.

The main thing here is not to confuse anything - there are blue and black wires going to the turn signals, and brown and green wires to the left front door.

But for the rest of the doors you don’t even have to look for wires for limit switches - you’ll have to lay them yourself. Since I was interested in installing an alarm system with auto start, a handbrake is strictly necessary.

It was decided to take the wires for it from under the instrument panel (closer to the alarm control unit, it was also placed under the panel). Fortunately, there is plenty of space under the Grants panel.

Next, open the glove compartment and look for the engine control unit. You need to take a signal from the generator from it - this is a brown-blue wire.

We connect a white-black wire to the trunk end switch, into the gap of which it is necessary to insert a diode, but we had to install a Euro end switch in the engine compartment.

Next was the long installation of limit switches on the remaining doors, the main thing was to connect them to the driver’s door, and not according to another scheme. Tested and produces fewer glitches.

At first there was a defect - when arming, the locks in the passenger doors kept clicking. this is because their locks also have limit switches. They simply fixed it - diodes were soldered into the circuit (as on the trunk end) and now the control unit receives the signal correctly.

Taking into account these features of installing an alarm system on a Lada Granta, you can be guaranteed to install the system in 1 day, and not overpay for a service station.

Programming the duration of control pulses

Even if the alarm is connected correctly, it is not a fact that the owner will be able to control the locks from the key fob. The point is that it is necessary to correctly select the duration of the control pulse (for locking and for opening). There is no need to make it too large so as not to overheat the actuators.

Screenshot of Starline signaling instructions

See what exactly the manufacturer Starline offers. We can set the pulse duration to 0.7 s, which should be enough. The value “3.6” will be redundant at the same time.

The “Lux” package has the following property: after 15 minutes of inactivity, the electronics “fall asleep”. It may take an extra boost to wake her up. So, try to use the option that provides for a double pulse. The main thing is not to activate the “comfort” option, which uses a 30-second duration. To connect the signaling with “comfort”, you need to install an additional unit in Grants (AvtoVAZ does not produce it). We wish you success.

basic information

Quite often, buyers decide to purchase cars from a domestic manufacturer. Naturally, this has its advantages, but there are also disadvantages. As a rule, domestic cars have a low cost and this is their main advantage.

The presented fact even covers the fact that such a car will have less efficiency. So, the car that we will discuss today is precisely one of these budget cars. The most popular configuration of the Lada Granta car is the norm configuration.

When choosing such a vehicle, the buyer naturally hopes that it is equipped with a standard alarm system, since, for example, the Lada Kalina is equipped with such an alarm system. But the Lada Granta is not equipped with an anti-theft system; the only thing the buyer can count on is an immobilizer.

1. At a car dealership, the buyer will simply be given the keys to the car and wished a safe journey.
2. In this configuration, the alarm is triggered when the doors are opened, thus preventing unauthorized entry into the vehicle interior.

How to properly install anti-theft alarm system on a Lada Granta?

Installing an anti-theft system today is a priority for many of our compatriots. For obvious reasons, leaving a car without a signal on the street is not at all safe. From this material you can learn how to install an alarm on a Lada Granta and how to activate the immobilizer yourself.

Standard anti-theft system Grants

Installing an alarm system on a Grant with your own hands is a rather labor-intensive task, which not every car owner can handle correctly. The system must be installed taking into account all rules and standards, since the safety of the vehicle depends on this. Although the central lock of the Lada Granta protects the car, in the event of a break-in or a broken window, it will not notify the owner of the car.

Immobilizer and its location

An immobilizer is a standard car alarm system. Its purpose is to block the engine starting system if an attempt to start it is unauthorized. The device blocks the main components that prevent the engine from starting. Such a Lada alarm system will not be able to signal with a siren about illegal entry into the car, but it will block the engine, so the maximum that a potential thief can do is to “surround” the car’s interior (the author of the video is Ivan Sergeev).

Of course, in this case, the car owner may lose personal belongings, but you don’t have to worry about the safety of the vehicle. The main immo block is located in a hard-to-reach place for obvious reasons, so that a hijacker cannot disable it. To get to the unit in your car, you need to partially disassemble the center console. The unit itself is located behind the stove, and the immo control sensor is located in the ignition switch.

How to activate immo?

Activating the immobilizer is a procedure that many of our compatriots encounter. An activated immobilizer will be able to fully perform the functions assigned to it.

How to properly activate a node:

1. First you need to close all the doors, then turn on the ignition, but to do this, use a red training key. Wait at least six seconds; if the immo is not activated, the corresponding indicator should appear on the device.
2. Remove the learning key.
3. Then, within five seconds you need to turn on the ignition with your working key. Having done this, you can hear the immo making beeps, there should be five of them in total. If there is no sound, there may be several reasons - either you did not meet the time limits, or the working key is configured to work with another device, or the node is not working.
4. Next, turn off the ignition and remove the key.
5. Then you need to quickly turn on the training key again while the car is blinking (you have no more than six seconds). Five beeps should sound again - 3 and 2.
6. Now turn off the ignition, but do not remove the key. Another beep should sound. When this happens, within 6 seconds, turn on the ignition for 3 seconds, no more, then turn it off, and the key can be left in the lock.
7. After these steps, three more signals should sound, but the key does not need to be removed. Wait at least ten seconds before removing the key. If for some reason the system was not activated, the procedure must be repeated.

Alarm Installation Instructions

Installing an alarm system with or without auto start on Granta begins with a careful study of the connection diagram . If errors are made during connection, it will be difficult to identify them later, so at this stage, be careful to take into account all the nuances.

Stages

Installation of the anti-theft system is carried out in the following order:

1. First install the siren in the engine compartment; when installing, keep in mind that it should not be exposed to moisture or high temperatures.
2. Attach the hood warning switch.
3. It is necessary to install a power unit temperature controller on the motor itself.
4. To the left of the cylinder block you can see a plug - through it you need to pull all the cables from the siren, the controller and the installed open hood limit switch. When all the wires are in the cabin, it is necessary to diagnose the plug and the reliability of the wires.
5. After completing these steps, you need to install the anti-theft system control unit; it is best to place it behind the control panel. When installing, keep in mind that the unit must be securely fastened, otherwise vibrations will affect it, and this will not lead to anything good.
6. Now open the fuse box - you need to mount the Valet service button on its bottom bar. You can also install a shock sensor here, in accordance with the signal of which the siren will turn on.
7. Next, we move on to installing the transmitter; it can be placed near the rearview mirror or opposite the driver’s seat. As a rule, this adapter is fixed with tape. If the kit comes with a separate light indicator, it can be installed in the rack housing. The light bulb is fixed with glue.
8. The next step is to connect the wire to the door end switch, to this wire you will then connect the wiring from the remaining doors. We move on to the luggage compartment and lay out the wiring, connecting the corresponding cable to the end switch.
9. Now all you have to do is connect all the necessary contacts to the control unit, as well as to the ignition switch. To do this, use the diagram above.

Connecting the signaling to the central locking system

The alarm unit itself is equipped with two relays, which are designed specifically to connect them to the central locking system. One relay is a locking relay, the second is an opening relay. The contacts usually close for 0.8-1.2 seconds, which is enough to open or close the locks. The wiring of the signal connector is as follows:

In your case, the color designation may be different, but the essence is always the same - there will be 6 “important” wires.

Connection to Volkswagen central locker

So, you know where the control cord is located and where it is connected to the central lock control unit. The standard location is in the trunk where the compressor is installed, or under the rear seat, etc. The cord itself near the central locking control unit needs to be broken. Next, lay a cable (2 wires) running from the signaling unit to the break point. Each wire of the cable is connected to one of the halves of the cord, everything is simple.

Here is the signal connection diagram:

Please note the following:

• Wire “b” is connected to that half of the control cord that goes to the control unit;
• Wire “a” is connected to the other half of the control cord (you can’t mix it up!);
• Additionally, ground is connected to the relay contacts, as well as “+12 Volts”.

It is recommended to assemble an adapter that is connected directly to the signaling unit. Its circuit is shown above, and the adapter will have four outputs: ground, “+12 V”, “a”, “b”. That's all.

At the point of contact between the cord and the body, use a heat-resistant tube (can be replaced with green electrical tape), otherwise there will be a short circuit. In general, before installation, always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Before applying power, double check that the connections have been made correctly. The considered connection option has the following property: if no errors are made, damage to standard equipment cannot be caused.

Connection to the Siber central locker

As mentioned in the first chapter, Mazda and GAZ-GM use the following control principle:

1. The “close” command corresponds to one value of resistance between the ground and the control cord;
2. The “open” command corresponds to a different value of this resistance;
3. When no commands are given, the cord is not connected to anything.

In order not to bore you with individual details, we immediately present the diagram (according to it, the signaling is connected to the central locking):

Note that the control cord does not break here. The wire coming from the alarm unit is simply connected to it

Compare this diagram with what was discussed in the previous chapter (there are also general tips there).

So, everyone has already understood that the “open” command corresponds to a resistance of “300 Ohms”. And blocking occurs when another resistor (1000 Ohm) is connected. Denominations may vary. For example, Mazda requires the following resistances to be included:

The most common mistake

The most common error P0133 indicates the inability to fully accelerate

Please note that if the display shows error number P0133, we can conclude that the car has stopped accelerating well. This is due to the fact that the control oxygen sensor requires information about the concentration of the air-fuel mixture to be transmitted to the control unit

The sensor itself is located directly in the exhaust pipe, without touching the catalytic converter. The engine control unit is located behind the oxygen sensor when the closed-cycle operating time has passed. In addition, the composition of the air-fuel mixture itself is directly regulated by increasing or decreasing the pulses that occur when the injector opens.

Diagnostics

To decipher the error codes that appear, it is necessary to diagnose the vehicle. The machine can be checked in several ways. We will talk about them further.

Diagnostics with a scanner

To check using a scanner, you need to connect the on-board computer “State X1” to the tester or laptop using a diagnostic cable. The scanner or laptop must be equipped with software designed specifically for diagnostics. In our article we will look at an example with the KWP_D program.

In addition to this utility, you will also need to find a specialized OBD-II adapter. It is necessary in order to transfer information from the bookmaker to the laptop via USB output. The diagnostic connector is located next to the gearbox selector, under the cover. You need to connect a scanner to it.

The Check lamp indicates possible breakdowns of the battery

When the program is installed, when you connect, you will see that a COM output with a specific number has appeared in the system. This number will need to be reassigned to any of the four - 1-4. When this is done, the laptop needs to be connected to the bk, then start the ignition and turn on the software.

As you know, any car engine has its own characteristics that determine its operation. If these characteristics differ from the standard ones, this means that there is something wrong with the engine.

The first point to pay attention to is the DTC characteristic. If malfunctions are detected in the BC system, then open the “Error codes” tab and find the number along with the decoding

Please note: everything will be fine with your Lada Granta if the measured characteristics do not differ from the standard ones by more than 20%.

Diagnostics without a scanner

Checking a car without a scanner is not a difficult task at all. The disadvantage of such diagnostics is that it does not always allow you to identify all errors in the operation of the car:

1. On the instrument panel, press the button that resets the daily mileage. At the same time, turn the key and turn on the ignition, but do not start the engine. In this case, the instrument panel test mode starts, which will help determine whether all panel elements are functioning properly.
2. Then press the button on the windshield wiper lever. Thus, the firmware version of the bookmaker “State X1” will first appear on the screen, and then you will see combinations of possible faults, if any.

Instrument cluster diagnostics

You can diagnose faults on your car. To do this, turn on the ignition while continuously pressing the Reset button. Next, the LCD is monitored and all segment positions are displayed on it. Now you need to activate the button closest to you on the control panel, after which the version of the firmware made should be displayed on the screen. Press any control button again. If there are errors in the Lada Granta, special digital symbols should be displayed on the first two lines of the screen, which, in turn, may indicate various malfunctions.

Presence of increased voltage in the on-board system. If within 20 seconds the on-board computer was unable to detect a malfunction in the Lada Granta, then three significant error signals may occur. The first in this case indicates an open circuit in the sensor responsible for reading the fuel level. The second reacts to an open circuit in the sensor circuit that responds to the coolant temperature. And the third detects errors when the outside temperature sensor circuit is broken, which is within minus levels.

Next come error signals that directly indicate that the engine has overheated, emergency oil pressure levels, a defect in the brake system, or a completely discharged battery.

Dismantling Guide

It is necessary to remove the old alarm from the car when installing a new one. Removing the main car alarm unit may be necessary when updating the software or updating its settings so that it meets the security requirements of modern security systems. Sometimes it is necessary to dismantle parts of the anti-theft system for repair and replacement (video author - SpetsAvtoSystems).

Modern security systems reliably protect cars from theft and entry; they have an increased degree of protection against code reading and interception.

Tools and materials

It is difficult to dismantle the alarm system, since its elements are hidden as far as possible so that they are invisible. Many owners do not know where the car alarm is installed, so it is better to entrust the dismantling to specialists.

If you decide to dismantle the anti-theft system yourself, you will need a small set of tools:

In addition to tools, dismantling work will require patience.

Stages

Dismantling the anti-theft system consists of the following steps:

1. First of all, you should turn off the power to the car by removing the negative terminal from the car battery.
2. First you need to find the LED on the dashboard. A wire goes from it to the control unit. It is necessary to disconnect the connector with wires.
3. Now you can disconnect the standard wiring from the electrical power system, and you also need to remove the immobilizer.
4. The electrical circuit of the anti-theft system is connected to turn signals, side lights, hood, trunk, door switches, and engine blocking. When removing each element, it must be correctly disconnected from the car alarm.
5. Next, you need to remove the shock and internal volume sensors, which are usually located under the handbrake lever.
6. You should be very careful when disconnecting the contacts on the motor. Modern security alarms are equipped with locking mechanisms for the starter, fuel pump and ignition system.
7. After disconnecting the contacts, you need to find and dismantle the Valet service button, as well as the siren, which is located in the engine compartment. After removing the fasteners, you need to remove the wiring coming from the interior.
8. Now you can try to start the engine. If the alarm was correctly removed, the engine will start without problems.

If the anti-theft system is dismantled on your own, then the following consequences are possible if dismantling is incorrect:

• the integrity of the electrical wiring is compromised;
• malfunctions of electrical equipment;
• the decorative trim of the interior is damaged;
• engine starting is blocked for no reason;
• the removed element is damaged and can be reused;
• damage, the elimination of which can be costly.
