Autostart machine with keychain: instruction, description and recommendations

With the onset of cold weather, many car owners faced the problem of warming up the vehicle's engine. How nice to finish your morning coffee, go down, get in your car and leave immediately. But - looking reality in the eyes - we go to the frost, sit in a cold car, start the engine and wait until it warms up, so that it's possible to go.

Time does not stand still, therefore, all car owners have the opportunity to install on their vehicle an alarm system with an engine start system.

Description

Signaling with autostart - a system that gives not only protection, but also warming up the engine. The latter is activated through the autoplay of the car with a keychain. The price varies between 3000-70000 rubles, depending on the availability of a variety of additional settings.

The main components of the system for all manufacturers are similar, but, of course, there are differences. Therefore, the choice of alarm should be approached carefully, weigh all the pros and cons. For example, the car alarm Starline includes:

• Keys remote control in the number of two pieces.
• The central unit.
• Paging decoder.
• Shock sensor.
• Led indicator.
• Service button.
• Remote controlled relay that locks the motor.

Installation

Each car alarm is installed in accordance with the instructions to it. In this case, of course, it is better to trust professionals. After all, how it will be installed depends not only on warming up your car, but also if it will not be stolen.

In case of self-installation of car alarms, the algorithm of actions will be basically similar for all system manufacturers. Therefore, let's look at how the autorun machine is set up from the Starline key fob.

The central unit of the system is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. It is most convenient to place it under the dashboard. There it will not get moisture, and the length of the connecting wires is reduced to a minimum. The block is fixed using self-tapping screws. This is necessary so that it does not move with vibration. The paging decoder is placed near the block.

The siren finds its location under the hood of the vehicle. Her mouthpiece must be lowered down - so you will avoid collecting water in it. The siren should be away from sources of moisture and heat. Be sure to check that the wires are not accessible from the outside of the bonnet.

Place the shock sensor in the vehicle's interior. LED indicator on the panel. It should always be in a prominent place. The service button, as well as the central unit, must be hidden from the eyes of strangers. But unlike the last, put the button in the reach zone.

After installation of pushbuttons in the trunk and under the hood of the car, they should be checked.

All wires should be kept away from electrical noise, moving structures and other elements of the car, which can subsequently interfere with the normal operation of the car alarm.

The main assistant at installation of such system, as autostart for the car, - avtoshemy. Schemes for cars are in the instruction manual of the system. It is through them that all the components of the car alarm are connected.

Functions

The main functions that the installed alarm system with autostart are:

• Protection of the car. Every part of the vehicle is protected. The engine is from start-up. Wheels, windows and bodywork react to bumps and shocks. Ignition - on. Doors, trunk and hood are protected from opening.
• Vehicle protection. The car alarm gives visual or audible signals when trying to rob, steal and so on.
• Alarm protection. The car alarm itself is protected from the selection of codes for hacking.
• Self-diagnosis. Car alarm automatically diagnoses security sensors, reports the status.
• Service functions (at the request of the car owner, various operations are configured - search for a vehicle, locking the door locks after a certain time and so on).

Engine start-up options

Previously, the security system had only a function of remote engine start of the car. To date, it has become possible to configure and combine various types of car alarm systems, which gives maximum comfort to the life of the owner of the vehicle.

Depending on the purpose of launching the car is divided into the types:

• Remote. This type of start-up is used to warm up the engine before driving.
• Automatic type of start-up is short-term switching on the car engine when a certain temperature is reached in the environment or after a period of time. Parameters, which will trigger autorun, are pre-specified in the settings.

Remote start

The main function of the alarm system with auto start is by pressing the button on the remote control "Start engine". With the development of the Internet and mobile communications, it became possible to manage the settings and the car itself via GPS-GSM. Now the car owner can send a message from a mobile phone, computer, tablet, and the engine will be launched remotely. This function is especially convenient in a city where the key chain can be obstructed by buildings and other structures.

Auto start

This autoplay machine with a keychain is an excellent addition to the remote. However, many underestimate it. And in vain, because under certain circumstances, he very much helps. Automatic launch has a lot of settings, whether conditions, time, turn-on time and so on. All the parameters of the automatic start of the engine are built according to the climatic conditions of the region, the time of year and so on. With more or less stable weather conditions, only the warm-up time and periodicity are set. In winter, the engine running time increases, in autumn and spring, respectively, decreases.

That is, the periodicity and warm-up time vary depending on the temperature outside the vehicle. Starting the engine can be set on the alarm clock, so your vehicle will be ready to go to a specific time. In regions with changing weather and leaps of degrees on the mercury column, car owners are actively using temperature warming. The function is as follows: a sensor is connected to the car alarm, which, when the temperature falls below the specified value, gives a signal and the engine starts.

Instruction manual for manual transmission

There are several sequential steps in which autorun will work correctly without unexpected circumstances. How do I start the car with the remote startup key? There is no general algorithm for cars with automatic and manual transmission.

Algorithm for mechanical:

• Turn the gear lever to neutral.
• The car put on a hand brake.
• Leave the vehicle, close the doors.
• Activate the alarm, enable the engine startup.

Nuance, which will have to get used to motorists after installing the autorun, is the habit of putting the vehicle on neutral transmission. If you leave the car on the gear, and then try to use the auto start, it just will not work.

Operating instructions for automatic transmission

The sequence of actions after which the car is started by an auto start from a key fob, on an automatic gearbox is partially similar with manual transmission.

Algorithm for automatic:

• The lever of an automatic transmission to rearrange to a mode Parking.
• Leave the vehicle, close the doors.
• Enable alarm, enable autorun.

The algorithm should be performed strictly in the above sequence. If you skip any of the steps, the engine's startup to the machines does not work.

pros

Undoubtedly, the autoplay of a car with a keychain, like any automated process, is endowed with positive and negative properties.

Pros:

• In winter, a warm cabin and a warm engine. In the summer - a chilled out salon.
• Minimum time costs.

Minuses

The resulted minuses rather concern cars with a mechanical transmission.

Minuses:

• Increased fuel consumption.
• In winter, the icing of the exhaust pipe (this is due to the water condensate that forms in the exhaust system).
• In winter, freezing of cables of the handbrake or brake pads (when the car is parked in neutral).
• If the car is parked on a slope, the handbrake mechanism is weakened - there is a risk of spontaneous movement of the vehicle.
• At the time of startup, there is a threat of vehicle hijacking, as the security system is turned off for this time.

The car owner, only meaningfully weighing all the pluses and minuses of autorun, will be able to decide whether to install the system on his vehicle.

Myths

Autoplay machine with a keychain has both fans and opponents. The subject of this system is heated debate. Many car owners refuse this car alarm, having heard different rumors and myths that have no evidence.

Myths about autostart:

• Independent movement of the car. The most common myth about the autorun. And he is not unfounded. Rollback of the car occurs in the event that the driver leaves the car on the transfer after stopping. With the installation of this car alarm habits will have to change. Now, after the stop, turn the lever to neutral and put the vehicle on the handbrake.
• Example of brake pads. This myth becomes a reality only in those car owners who do not dry the brakes after driving in wet weather. Make it easier than it seems. It is enough to perform several intense braking. And if this problem has touched you, then a two-liter bottle of hot water will come to the rescue. The liquid pours on the rear brakes, and you can move in the way.
• Hijacking. Undoubtedly, a car with a starched engine is a tasty morsel for a thief. Therefore, do not use the autorun in a deserted place and at a significant distance from the vehicle.
• The steering lock is due to a person's inattention. This is as follows: the car owner sits in the vehicle with the engine already started and forgets to insert the ignition key. This, in turn, leads to locking the steering wheel. The solution to this problem is the forced muffling of the engine before the start of the movement.

Any problem with the remote start-up with the alarm keychain is solved. Therefore, the main obstacle to installing a car alarm is the reluctance of the owner of the vehicle.
