Signaling "Starline E90": user manual, description, reviews

A car is a rather expensive thing, and even in today's economic realities - so much the more so. Therefore, it does not hurt to take care of its safety by installing a new security system. On the market today, you can find dozens of different options, but the constant popularity of domestic motorists uses the "Starline E90" alarm system.

Since modern devices of this kind relate to very sophisticated electronic equipment, in the course of operation, often there are various errors that often lead to complete disappointment with your purchase. To avoid this, the car enthusiast should know about the basic nuances of how the "Starline E90" alarm system functions and also have an idea of the main stages of its adjustment. This article was created as a short memo containing the most necessary data.

For starters - a couple of words about how, in fact, include a security mode for the safety of your car in the parking lot. To do this, you just need to click on the key icon on the keyfob display. Everything, your car is protected from encroachments of dark persons.

Entering the car number in the alarm memory

All cars that have a supported CAN interface are permanently registered in the manufacturer's database. The list of models you can find in the list of supported cars, which is available in the instructions supplied with the alarm when it is purchased.

What does the "Starline E90" signaling instruction with the autoload right after the installation of the security system provide? You will enter the CAN number in its memory. To do this, you will perform the following actions (be sure to follow this sequence). Enter service mode:

• Completely disconnect the power of the complex, and then temporarily disconnect the CAN interface cable.
• While holding the service button, apply power. Attention! If you did everything correctly, then five short beeps of the siren will follow, during which the button must (!) Be held clamped.
• After the signals have sounded, the key can be released. There will be four more short beeps. They testify that you did everything right, and the alarm system actually went into service mode.

Entering numbers, possible problems and their solution

• After entering the service mode, press the service button once. In confirmation of the alarm once briefly "missed" the siren. After that, press the service key as many times as the first digit of the code of your car (for example, if it starts with three, then you have to press the button three times).
• The system again "missed", confirming the adoption of the first figure. You can press the button one to nine times. If you mistakenly press ten or more times, the system will automatically be returned to the service mode, and you will have to start everything from the beginning.
• All other digits enter the same way, waiting after each series of the confirmation signal of the alarm system.

Two seconds after you entered the last number, the signaling "Starline E90" GSM can give the following signal options:

• In case it briefly "doubles" twice, the operation was successful, the number was saved in the internal memory of your device.
• If she peeped four times, then during the input there was some error, and therefore the information was not saved.

Regardless of the results of the input, the "Starline E90" signaling (the feedback we will consider) goes to the programming menu. If you need to re-enter the number, you must start again.

Does the security system detect the presence of a running engine?

Since electrical and electronic circuits of cars are constantly changing today at the production stage (and quite often motorists do not know about it), immediately after connecting the alarm system it will be superfluous to find out whether your device detects the fact of the engine's operation. From this will depend not only the possibility of its convenient remote launch, but also your safety. How is the "Starline E90" signaling set up?

To test this function, you will need a regular keychain with an LCD display. What does the audit involve? It's quite simple: you have to check two states of the car and see if your "Starline E90" signaling distinguishes them. If there are no problems when checking the problems, then there should not be any difficulties with the remote start of the engine. So, here is the sequence of your actions:

• The first state at which the ignition is, but the engine is not running. Briefly press the third button on the key fob. The icon of the key should appear on the LCD. Remember that the smoke icon does not normally appear.
• Accordingly, in the second case, the engine is running. Just briefly press the third button of the key fob. At the same time, not only the icon of the key should appear on the display, but also the smoke icon.

How to evaluate the results of a test

If you see an incorrect indication in at least one of these cases, this indicates an incorrect connection of connector X3. The options here are two, and both are bad: either you will not be able to use the remote engine start, or the motor will start ... even if the car is on the included gear. So, the first option of incorrect indication, when the "Starline E90" signaling displays the correct pictograms of the car engine started and turned off. The reasons for this behavior can be:

• If the control of the engine operation is based on the reading of the generator, then, perhaps, during installation, the polarity was simply reversed.
• In the case when the tacho signal is used, its amplitude is extremely small, and therefore the security system does not distinguish it.
• When the state is controlled by the voltage indicators, then, with a high degree of probability, there is again a problem in the generator.

Here is how the "Starline E90" alarm system is controlled. The instruction manual clearly states that in these cases it is necessary to use the help of qualified specialists. Alas, not all motorists follow this simple and competent advice. This is very bad, since the consequences of this inadequate behavior of electronic systems can be extremely serious, leading to numerous problems.

Than it threatens?

• As it has been repeatedly said, the car owner simply can not use the remote start function of the engine.
• Probably, that the alarm system simply will not pick up ignition on neutral (it is valid for cars with a manual check point).
• A similar situation - in the turbo timer mode and protection of the car with the engine running, if it is a question of technology with a modern automatic transmission.
• The software neutral will be erroneously checked when the engine is off. Simply put, the next remote launch of the owner is waiting for a big surprise when his car will go by himself in the parking lot.
• Getting information about the running engine will happen almost instantly. Under normal conditions, there is nothing to worry about, but if the ambient temperature is much below zero, then the motor is unlikely to start normally.
• If the polarity of the connection to the generator has been confused, the motor will start constantly, but immediately go deaf (after a couple of seconds).

How to use the remote start function correctly?

What if you have a modern car with automatic transmission? Put the box in the "parking" position, and then close the trunk, hood, all doors. For cars with a manual transmission all the same, but the box, respectively, must be put in the "neutral" position. After this, the program "neutralization" is performed.

In most cases, you need to reliably tighten the handbrake, remove the key from the ignition lock, and then exit the car and close all doors, the hood and the trunk. The engine must then decay automatically, after closing the doors, or after pressing the first button of the key fob.

In some cases, the "Starline E90" (the operating manual allows this option) includes a neutral "by pressing the button of the key fob". Thus it is necessary, without switching off the motor, carefully tighten the parking brake and press the second button on the control panel. Only after that from the ignition lock it is possible to take out a key, to leave the car and to close all doors, a luggage carrier and a cowl. After that, the motor will also automatically decay, and the program neutral will be activated.

There is another option when this function is activated after the parking brake is tightened. The official description of the "Starline E90" alarm system provides that you also need to tighten the brake first, leaving the key in the ignition lock, and then exit the car and close all doors, the trunk and the hood. As in the first case, the software neutral will be enabled either after this, or by pressing the first button on the remote control.

First Remote Engine Start

Here everything is simple. First, hold down the first key and wait until you hear two melodic bells. The engine will automatically start. To muffle it, pick up the Starline E90 alarm sticker and press its first key, wait for one signal, and then press it four times (briefly). The engine stalls. And what if the "Starline E90" alarm system, the instruction manual for which we are considering, could not get the engine running?

Possible problems with the automatic launch of the engine

Firstly, after at least four attempts to start (and the system can "brake" for the first time), the launch did not take place. This indicates that the regular bypass of the immobilizer for some reason does not work. How can this be checked? Simply: remove the key or chip from the bypass module, then attach it to the ignition when trying to start automatically (to check whether it can be read). In the case when the engine starts, the problem is really in the module: perhaps somewhere in the car there is another regular immobilizer; There is a possibility that there are not enough skeins in the bypass module coil.

Another problem - the engine starts, but almost immediately stalls. Here, the cause may be hidden in an incorrectly defined polarity when the alarm is connected to the generator. It may be that the matter is in the security system itself, which does not have the right program for controlling the engine's performance in a specific car model. Usually, the firmware is updated to a newer version of the software in the service center, after which the alarm with the "Start-up E90" autorun starts working normally.

Another option is that the engine also does not start, and "OST" appears on the LCD display of the keyfob. If so, then you need to install software neutral. We have already spoken about the procedure for carrying out this operation. Finally, the engine may also show no sign of life, but the display of the key fob will display the pictogram of the running motor properly. In this case, you have not connected the 100% cable that is responsible for transmitting data from the corresponding sensor. Probably, the connectors of the wire were not inserted securely.

The last option is hinted by the situation when from time to time the car is started from the key chain normally, but more often than not it does not react to it. If you have checked the cable, but it is firmly plugged into the connectors, and there are no backlashes in them, we recommend that you immediately contact the service center where the "Starline E90" alarm was installed.

Reviews of motorists

Domestic motorists have long appreciated and loved this security system. What so bribes our motorists, who, in general, tend to critically examine almost any type of electronic equipment?

Firstly, the "Starline E90" alarm system (the instruction for its use we already mentioned) is really reliable. If it is properly installed, then stealing is almost impossible. Grateful motorists say that this complex works equally reliably in any operating conditions, without delivering any problems even in our frosts. Something to do with the machine, which is protected by this complex, is impossible.

Secondly, this manufacturer really has adequate and polite technical support, it is always possible to call, regardless of the time of day. The testimonies indicate that your problems will in fact be dealt with, if necessary, by connecting highly qualified engineers. If the alarm does not work, or it does not work correctly due to the fault of the company itself (production marriage), then it will be replaced in the shortest time, without taking a penny for it.

By the way, how often does the Starline E90 bug? Problems with signaling (which was repeatedly proved in practice) arise only through the fault of the installers. The system itself is very reliable, and technically caused malfunctions in the equipment are extremely rare. If you have doubts about the qualifications of the employees who set you up for alarm, you can again contact the support service. You will be contacted and sent to the highest-quality service center within reach.

Thirdly, the manufacturer is really "not greedy." For example, you bought an ordinary Starline kit, in which there is no GSM module. Do you think that if you need it, you will have to buy a new alarm system? Fortunately, no. It's enough just to buy the corresponding module. Compare this with the situation in which buyers regularly buy cheap "signal": for any "sneeze" you have to pay extra, and only the installation of some additional equipment - and not an achievable dream!

Conclusion

Thus, we can safely recommend this protection system to the widest range of domestic motorists: from beginners to dumb professionals. The system will not let you down in any conditions, and the car will be really reliably protected from the possibility of theft. Given the difficult economic situation, it is not surprising statistics GIBDD: experts show that only in the past year the number of hijackings only in the suburbs has increased by 27%. The overwhelming part is cars that are not protected by signaling. So do not skimp on the safety of your "iron horse"!
