Programming the Starline A9 key fob, like other models, begins with binding (maximum 4 pieces) to the microprocessor control module using the Valet button and keys on the remote control. After this, you can configure the assignment of buttons and the launch of modes (autostart, immobilizer, turbo timer, etc.) on the main or additional communicator - both devices can perform similar options.

How to remotely turn off the shock sensor

This option has several levels. You can use it as many times as you need. This will be counted during one security cycle. To carry out this action, move the cursor over and make two clicks on the button located on the key fob. After that, you will see this icon and hear sounds - sirens and key fob melodies. This means that the first level of this sensor has been disconnected. To turn off the second one, do the same steps again. If you need to enable this function again, repeat the manipulations and the image will disappear. One beep will also sound.

Recording key fob codes

The maximum number of key fobs that can be used to record into the car alarm memory is four. This must be done with the security mode turned off. The plan is as follows.

1. Turn on the ignition.
2. Next, find the Valet service button. Now you need to press and hold it until the siren appears. Only 4 signals.
3. In order to record the main key fob with a screen, you need to simultaneously press buttons 1 and 2. Additional key fobs without screens are recorded by pressing buttons 3 and 4. This action is done with all additional key fobs. The main thing is to maintain an interval of no more than 5 seconds.
4. When finished, turn off the ignition. It will be accompanied by 5 size flashes.

Important! When you need to record new key fobs, overwrite the old ones as well, otherwise they will be deleted from the system.

Programming the control panel

You can program the buttons of the new Starline A9 alarm remote control with auto start after installing the batteries in the device. To do this, remove the cover protecting the rear compartment of the pager, into which the battery is inserted. It must be installed taking into account the polarity.

Setting the I Button

Setting modes

The Starline A9 alarm system allows you to program the following modes:

• energy saving;
• notifications and warnings to the car owner;
• security;
• autostart;
• engine blocking;
• turbo timer.

Energy saving

This function allows you to reduce the battery discharge in the remote control. The battery will consume less current two minutes after the security mode is turned off. This occurs due to the fact that the electrical board of the receiver is deactivated.

Activation is done as follows:

1. Key 3 of the communicator is pressed and held until the device plays a double sound pulse.
2. The third control is pressed sequentially to move the cursor on the screen to the position of the indicator labeled “Save”.
3. The first button activates the energy saving mode, the second button turns it off. When using the keys, an indicator with the words On or Off will appear on the key fob display, respectively.
4. Control 3 is pinched and held to exit the setup menu. You can release the button after the remote control plays a short beep.

Alerts

The Starline A9 communicator has two modes of alerting the user - with sound signals or via vibration.

To select the type of warning pulses, press the third and first keys of the remote control simultaneously. When the vibration mode is activated, the key fob will trigger with two vibration pulses, and an icon with the inscription “Mite” will appear on the device screen.

Security

When activating protection with audible support signals, you must make sure that the ignition is turned off and all doors, including the hood and trunk, are locked. The parking brake lever must also be raised. If the first key is configured to activate security by default, then this element is pressed briefly. In confirmation, the siren will play a short beep and the car's parking lights will blink once. Icons in the form of a loudspeaker and a locked lock will appear on the communicator screen.

To activate silent protection, the conditions must be similar: all doors with the hood and luggage compartment are locked, the handbrake is raised. To arm the system, the cursor on the key fob display moves to the position of the corresponding indicator F. After this, the second button on the remote control is pressed. When the protection is activated, only the car's headlights will blink, the siren will not work. The alarm status LED will blink as usual, and the device display will show an indicator in the form of a crossed-out speaker and a lock.

Activating the security of a vehicle with the power unit running is done as follows:

1. On a car with the engine running, the parking brake lever rises.
2. The first button of the communicator is pressed and held until the device plays a melodic signal. The vehicle's side lights should blink three times. An indicator in the form of smoke from the muffler will be displayed on the remote control screen, the diode will light continuously. The operating time of the power unit with configured heating during automatic start will be 10, 15, 20 minutes or without limitation.
3. The key is removed from the ignition, the driver leaves the vehicle. The motor will remain running.
4. All door locks, luggage compartment and hood are manually locked.
5. The first key of the communicator is pressed. The car will sound with one siren signal and the lights will blink. The impact controller and ignition system are not protected when this security mode is activated. Automatic closing of the door locks will occur if these devices have been connected to the anti-theft system control unit.

Autostart

Setting up different modes of automatic engine start:

1. For daily autostart and warming up of the power unit, the cursor on the key fob display is set to the indicator labeled “Start”. The second key of the communicator is pressed twice. The side lights of the car will blink once, the siren will sound, the remote control will play a melodic pulse, and the diode light will begin to blink with an intensity of two flashes. To disable this feature, move the cursor to the position of the same icon, and then press the second button.
2. Autostart by temperature is activated by moving the indicator to the corresponding icon, after which key 2 is pressed. The temperature value is set by entering the options programming menu. Pressing button 1 will start the motor at -5 degrees, button 2 - at -10°C, button 3 - at -15°C, and button 4 - at -20°C. To disable this feature. The cursor is moved to the position of the indicator in the form of a thermometer, then control element 2 is clicked.
3. To configure auto-start at a certain time, the alarm settings must first be adjusted. The option is enabled in the same way, by moving the indicator to the position of the clock icon. If all parameters are set correctly, then the second key of the communicator is pressed. To stop the power unit, started according to the alarm clock, the first button of the remote control is “clicked”.
4. If it is necessary to increase the engine warm-up time, the cursor on the display must be moved to the position of the indicator with the inscription “Start”. Each time you press the second button, this value increases by five minutes. If it is necessary to extend the operating time of the power unit by 20 minutes, then key 2 is “clicked” four times. The key fob screen will display the total time remaining until the engine stops.

The “Nuyr Gun” channel in its video showed what problem a user may encounter when setting up autorun on Starline A9.

Immobilizer mode

If this function is configured, the power unit will be blocked automatically, 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. The operation of the security function does not matter. When the immobilizer is turned on, the system status LED will be constantly on. To disable the mode, use the first button of the communicator; as confirmation, the side lights will blink twice.

Turbo timer mode

Setting up the turbo timer function:

1. On a car with the power unit running, press and hold the first key of the communicator. It must be released after the vehicle blinks its lights three times and the key fob plays a melodic impulse. An indicator in the form of smoke from the muffler will be displayed on the remote control screen, and the turbo timer duration will also appear. If it is one minute, then the inscription will be “r01”.
2. The key is turned to the “Off” position, after which it can be removed from the lock. The power unit will operate for the configured time. Use of this option is only permitted on vehicles with the handbrake applied.

User Dmitry Tonoyan in his video showed how the turbo timer works on cars with a Starline alarm system.
