Manual

For initial system setup, it is recommended to use the main key fob equipped with a display. This will allow you to correctly configure all operating parameters.

Setting up the control panel

Before setting up the system in accordance with the instructions, you must bind the communicator.

Without this, managing basic functions will be impossible. In total, the user can bind no more than four key fobs to the control unit.

Purpose of key fob buttons

Description of the functions performed by the pager keys:

Button number 1 is used to program options when pressed briefly. If you hold down the key for three seconds, this will enable or disable the protection mode with sound.
A short press on the second button will select a command that corresponds to the cursor position on the screen. If you press this element, it will open the lock installed in the trunk door.
A quick click on the first and second keys will allow you to monitor the condition of the vehicle and control the temperature level in the cabin. When you press the buttons for a long time, the car search option is activated.
Quickly pressing key 3 allows you to control the position of the cursor on the pager screen, as well as stop the alert signals. By pressing the button for three seconds, the user can configure the clock, timer, alarm, and energy saving mode. If you hold down the key for 6 seconds, this will enter the programming mode of the first button.

Pressing keys 3 and 2 allows you to set the timer.

Identification of buttons on the key fob

Key fob programming

To bind the communicator, you need to configure the operation of the first key:

Button 3 is pressed several times, the user must move the cursor on the key fob screen to the position of the required command. If the key will be used to control the protection mode, it must be set to the corresponding indicator position. To change the direction of cursor movement, you need to pause briefly between clicks.
After selecting an option, the button must be pressed for 6 seconds. You need to wait for a double and then a triple beep.
To enable the function, press the first key.

Setting up the second key is done in the same way:

By clicking on the third button, the cursor is moved on the display to the desired position.
After selecting the option, the second button is clicked.

After binding, the clock parameters are configured:

To complete the task, the third key is clicked. It must be pressed until the key fob emits two short beeps.
The clock indicator on the display will start flashing. To increase parameters, use the first key, to decrease - the second. To change values quickly, this button must be held down.
After changing the settings, the minute parameters are adjusted identically. To do this, click on the third button.
To exit the settings mode, press the third key. It must be held until the communicator beeps.

Programming alarm clock parameters:

To complete the task, the third key is pressed. It must be held until the communicator plays a double signal.
The third button is pressed to move the cursor on the screen to the alarm position. The clock indicator will flash. The first button is used to increase the parameters, and the second button is used to decrease them.
After setting the hours, the minutes are adjusted. To do this, click on the third button.
When the parameters are set, you need to click on the third button, so the system will go to the menu for activating or disabling the option. Turning on is done by clicking on the first key, and turning off is done by clicking on the second. To exit the setup menu, use button 3; the communicator should emit a beep.

Recording codes

Programming new remote control codes is done as follows:

The key is inserted into the lock and turned to turn the ignition on.
The service key is pressed for six seconds. You can release the button after the siren sounds four times.
The first and second keys of the main communicator with a screen are pressed until the siren plays a sound signal. This indicates that information about the first remote control has been added to the system. To bind a spare communicator, click buttons 3 and 4.
The previous action is repeated for each added communicator. The siren will play signals to confirm the recording. You need to have time to bind each key fob within six seconds after recording the last device. Otherwise, the alarm will exit the programming menu, which will be indicated by five headlight flashes.
When the procedure is completed, the ignition is turned off.

User Viieer Aleks talked about independently recording key fob codes into the memory of the Starline A6 microprocessor module.

Setting up autorun

This model does not provide the option of automatic engine start, but the consumer can implement it independently. To do this, he needs to additionally purchase and install the Starline 02-12 module.

Description of the contact elements on the main block of the device:

the red contact is intended for connection to output 30 on the ignition switch;
yellow is used to connect to the ignition line tap;
green is for connection to terminal 15/2 if the vehicle is equipped with two ignition lines;
The blue contact is used to connect to the ACC output on the lock;
a thinner yellow-black wire is needed to connect to contact element 50 on the switch;
a thick cable in a similar sheath is designed to power the starter mechanism.

A 12-volt voltage is generated at output 50 of the ignition switch. A relay installed inside the autostart module begins to power the starter mechanism. It closes contact elements numbered 30 and 50. It is not allowed to connect the module without breaking the electrical circuit of the starter device.

Pinout of low current block:

the black contact is used as a negative one to power the unit;
the wire in a gray-black sheath is the input for monitoring the operation of the power unit; it must be connected to the battery charge indicator or tachometer;
The lilac-orange output must be connected to the limit switch of the parking brake lever;
the pink contact must be connected to the control output of the anti-theft system;
the red-black contact is an output on the immobilizer bypass device, it is activated only during automatic start;
the wire in the gray-orange sheath can be left untouched;
The black and yellow contact is an output that is activated when the ignition is turned on and the starter mechanism is turned off.

Autostart module Starline 02-12

Inside the autostart module body there is a set of toggle switches and switches, each of which must be set to a specific position:

Operating time of the starter mechanism. If the toggle switch is set to Off, then this indicator will be 0.8 seconds, if in On, then 1.8 seconds.
Method of controlling the power unit. If in the Off position, then according to the tachometer, if in On, then according to the contact elements, to which 12-volt voltage is supplied after the engine starts.
Power activation algorithm for terminal 15/2. If in the Off position, then when the starter mechanism operates, power will remain on the device. If it is On, then the power supply stops. The second option is the most common.
Transmission type. Initially, this toggle switch is set to Off; this is an automatic transmission. It should be left like that.
Ignition delay time before starting the power unit. If the toggle switch is set to Off, this indicator will be less than one second, if On, then several seconds.
The service switch must be left in the Off position.

Activation of security mode

In the Twage model, the user himself assigns buttons to enable the protection function. Therefore, activation is carried out taking into account which key was selected to control this mode.

If your communicator is broken or lost, you can enable protection using the service key:

The key is inserted into the lock and the ignition is activated. The button to enter the service mode is clicked 4 times.
Then the ignition is turned off. The siren should play one signal, after which the car's lights will blink.
Within 20 seconds, the driver must leave the vehicle and lock all doors with the key. The siren will sound once, and the communicator will play a melodic signal.
20 seconds after the actions are completed, the protection mode is activated. The car headlights will blink once and the status indicator LED will flash.

Disabling security mode

One of the control buttons can be used to turn off the protection function. The purpose of this option is selected by the user. If the remote control is lost or broken, the Valet service button can be used to disable the security mode.

The deactivation procedure is carried out as follows:

The car doors must be unlocked with a key. The security complex will start the siren. An icon in the form of an open lock will appear on the key fob display.
The key is installed in the lock and turned. Once the ignition is activated, there is no need to start the engine.
To disable the protection mode, the user needs to know their personal PIN code. To enter the first digit of the password, the Valet button is pressed several times. The number of clicks corresponds to the first character.
The key is turned to turn off the ignition. Then it turns on again.
The steps to enter the PIN code are repeated, only now you need to enter the second digit.
The ignition is turned off. If the password is correct, the siren will stop working. Protection mode will be disabled.

The AVTOservis Nikitin channel talked about deactivating the protective function using the service key.
