And in other cases what?
Panda? A96? In general, I’m the same, only 90% of requests from users are just cheaper, but of maximum quality. So it turns out A93, the best price/quality ratio. And if there is no heating on the windshield, then the range is more than enough. Nobody complained. If anyone needs 1 km or more, then take a fuel and lubricants module.

Let them move the antenna, for example, under a torpedo. The range should increase to a point that is satisfactory for you.

"Weak" and "Weak"

"with a smiley face are different things even on a technical forum. I’ll be honest - I’ve never seen the 525 model in person, even though I’ve been repairing StarLine alarms since 2009.

, Hello. Use Alec67's recommendations.

Badly. Serious mistakes were made. In particular, on the installation and placement of the communication module.

a) this is a different alarm with a different communication module (there is not a whip antenna, but a dipole, and even with shortening circuits.) b) Its design is such that when sticking it on the glass it is impossible to move the antenna horns closer than 3-4 cm to roof metal (the module body does not allow this to be done). c) It must be assumed that A61 was installed in another place (or by another master).

I emphasized the main thing. Not only that, the alarm antenna is in the area of the heating filaments. so it is also in the silk-screen printing zone AND IS COVERED BY A MIRROR, which is made of metal and screwed to the metal of the roof - it is ALSO a SCREEN for radio waves. So this is not enough - it was probably stuck along the roof close to the edge of the glass (the distance from the pin to the metal is LESS than 5 cm). (And it’s even worse if you stick a tint film in the upper zone of the glass. Most of these films contain metal salts in the composition - this is also a screen. Just metal is a little weaker.) But you wrote that you don’t have anything like that.

Look at the windshield in the light - it has the shape of a trapezoid, and the area of the heating filaments is a rectangle (they are clearly visible in the light) - there are no filaments in the lower corners of the glass.

Following Alexander’s recommendations, place the alarm communication module in the lower corner of the glass farthest from you, so that the pin is directed upward and, IF POSSIBLE, there is at least 5 cm from any point of the pin to the metal, silk-screen printing and heating filaments. If this cannot be done, then at least the pin should be on a “clean” area of the glass and at the same distance from these BARRIERS (body metal, silk-screen printing/tinting, heating threads) for the propagation of radio waves. Let us know the results.

PS I’ll put A93 (A39 is its version for car dealerships) en masse. I follow the manufacturer's recommendations. I did the same with the A91 (the alarm with auto start is the sister of the A61) - no one complains about the range and no one has complained.

Reviews about the work of A39. Positive and negative opinions of owners

Owner reviews were taken from the websites AvtoProfi.ru, https://otzovik.com/, www.drive2.ru, irecommend.ru, avtobez.com.

Positive	Negative
I use Starline a39 dialog turbo timer. Installed in the showroom of a Kia Serato. I didn’t really delve into the intricacies of the connection, since I trust professionals, and there is a guarantee for their work. The alarm performed well. It slows down a little in cold weather, but everything is fine. I've been using it for six months now.	After installation at the car dealership, I encountered several problems. The second key fob did not want to be removed from the alarm. I went to the service center and it turns out I need to install a tag on it. The tag was installed, and another problem began - spontaneous activation. I went to the service center and they set it up. Now, when the handbrake is installed, auto start is set, which should not happen. In short, I'm already tired of going to the service center.
Excellent alarm, all functions work. What I like most is the engine heating and the ability to view it on my phone. It's also good that there is a PIN code and engine lock. Even if someone gets into the car, they still won’t be able to steal it.	Terrible alarm and terrible service. When the A39 started to malfunction, I contacted the official call center, where my issue was not resolved. They sent it to the station where they installed it. But I bought the car second-hand in another city, and I don’t know where it was installed. Now you have to look for specialists yourself and pay money.
The alarm was purchased at a Renault service center. I immediately stuffed it with everything I could, because the installation is free only once. I bought a module for mobile communications (it turns out that a regular chip is inserted there, like on a phone). Now I can talk to my car on the phone))). I also asked to install window closers so that they would close on their own. Of course, I had to buy a few more things, but now it’s a complete set!	It works very poorly in cold weather. It slows down and doesn't work. Autorun cannot be turned on exactly when it is needed most. I didn’t like the keychain at first, it was kind of flimsy in appearance and scary to hold in my hands. I shouldn’t have agreed to this signal.
I haven't been using it for long, about a month. Very satisfied. There are simply a huge number of functions, I didn’t even have time to try them all. It is convenient that there is auto start and a temperature sensor in the cabin. The battery charge also shows. I need this because I often leave my car under guard for a long time.	The manual is very confusing, setting something up on your own is almost impossible.
One of the most reliable and modern Starline alarm systems. It has everything you need and even more. I think that I don’t use half of the functions at all. As for the work, it's excellent. Everything works, the car obeys perfectly. It’s good that there is an additional engine lock; you can sleep peacefully, knowing that your brand new car won’t be stolen.	This alarm was sold to me when I bought a new car at the dealership. I agreed in a hurry, which I now regret very much. There is simply no signal. The key fob is inconvenient and eats batteries like crazy. Often triggered by loud sounds and passing cars. There is not a word in the manual about how to set up the shock sensor. On my previous car I had an old APS, and it was much better. And here there are a lot of bells and whistles, but no sense.

How is it different from the A93 model?

Differences from A93 include the following characteristics:

lack of an interactive authorization system;
impact resistance of the body of the A93 alarm key fob (in the A39 model, the pager is characterized by increased sensitivity to mechanical damage);
functionality (model A93 has a wider range of modes and options).

Differences in alarms Starline a93, a63, a36, a39

These security systems are actually the same product, but with different configurations and different delivery points.

The fact is that the Starline a36 and a39 alarm systems are not intended for general consumption. You won't find them on retail shelves. These car alarms are sold only to car dealerships. Whereas Starline a93 and a63 can be easily bought both on the Internet and in ordinary stores.

Another difference between these systems is the delivery package. In 93 and 39, unlike 36 and 63, there is a starting module and a temperature sensor for attaching it to the engine.

Autostart module and temperature sensor

In other words, Starline a93 and a39 are car alarms with auto start, while a63 and a36 are without.

Also, the A63 does not have a siren.

How to install

According to the installation instructions, the installation procedure includes the following steps:

Connection to power source. The black ground wire is equipped with a metal tip, which is connected to a standard nut on the body. The +12V battery terminal is connected to the head unit connector using a thick cable.
Connecting the relay to the positive cable. The safety switches and the head unit are powered by separate fused circuits. When connecting the processor device directly to the battery, a copper cable is used. A 30 A fuse is installed separately.
Connecting the system to the CAN bus. A separate connection is created to control the headlights and door locks.
Installation of an auxiliary relay. They break one of the engine power circuits, where a protective part is introduced.
Installation of limit switches. When connecting these elements, it may be necessary to disable the CAN bus control capability. The brake pedal and parking lever are connected to the limit switch terminals.
Connection of the unit with the siren and headlights. A standard horn can be used to provide sound notification.
Installing the engine temperature sensor and immobilizer bypass.
Installation of emergency button and LED element.
Connecting the antenna module to the head unit.
Installation of additional blocks and controllers.

Installation of alarm system Starline A39

There are certain rules for installing car alarms. It doesn’t matter which model the Starline A39 is installed on: Mazda6, Hyundai or Skoda 2018: the location of certain elements will be the same.

To install the Starline A39 alarm system on a car you will need:

set of wrenches with socket heads;
drill with drills;
soldering kit: blowtorch, rosin, tin, etc.;
heat shrink tubes, insulating tape.

Car alarms are installed exclusively on cars with an electrical circuit of 12 volts. It is advisable to place the main unit in a place protected from vibrations. The most preferable installation location is under the dashboard - this guarantees concealment from prying eyes, as well as a minimum length of connecting wires. The block is fixed using self-tapping screws or double-sided tape to eliminate the possibility of spontaneous movement.
A transceiver with a signal diode is mounted on the windshield of the car. The main condition is a distance of at least 5 centimeters from metal parts in order to avoid interference or distortion when receiving signals. The interior temperature sensor is mounted so that it is away from heat sources or direct sunlight for it to work correctly.
The engine temperature sensor must be mounted on its body using one of the M6 bolts. It is advisable to attach it closer to the crankcase cover rather than the cylinder head.
A siren is also mounted in the engine compartment. The main condition is to avoid moisture, and also place it away from large heat sources to prevent the horn from melting. Also, the siren connection wires should not be accessible from under the car so that an attacker cannot cut them.
The shock sensor is located near the center pillar. It is advisable to mount it so that you can access sensitivity settings if it triggers too often.
The Valet service button is installed in an accessible but hidden place. The inner sides of pockets for small items, the central tunnel between the seats, the plane under the decorative plugs of the front panel, etc. are suitable.
Also, to connect and configure automatic start on cars equipped with a manual transmission, you will need to program the neutral and connect the limit switches to the handbrake. If the car is equipped with an automatic transmission, then the owner must move the lever to the parking position, otherwise autostart will not occur.
First, all nodes are installed, and then the system is connected according to the diagram below.

Power is supplied through two main wires:

black. The negative terminal that needs to be attached to the car body is ground;
red. The positive wire, which is recommended to be connected to the battery or ignition switch.

If the car can be started using the Start button, then the connection is made in a slightly different way:

the red contact is attached to the battery, but through a fuse designed for a current of no more than 30 amperes;
The blue wire is connected to the brake pedal;
the yellow-black cable connects to the start button;
the yellow and green contacts remain unused.

To implement autorun and turbo timer, an additional algorithm is used:

the red wire connects to the battery;
yellow cable to the ignition system;
green – to the ACC output;
blue is redundant;
the black and yellow contact is connected to the starter.

User manual

According to the operating instructions for the Starline A39 2CAN 2LIN alarm system, the security system is configured and used as follows:

The key fob is switched to tag mode. To do this, long press the “1” key. Activation of the simple security mode is accompanied by the appearance of a red light indication.
Adjust the range. To do this, press the “4” button 11 times, after which the ignition is turned on. Simultaneously pressing buttons “1” and “3” causes a blue indicator to appear. After this, briefly press the “2” and “3” keys and go to the range change menu. The indicator is changed using the buttons “2” and “3”. In a similar way, other settings necessary for comfortable use of the system are changed.
Switch on security mode. To do this, briefly press the “1” button. Repeated pressure deactivates the function. To enable the silent security mode in the Starline A39 CAN alarm system, use buttons “1” and “2” in sequence.

When the engine is turned on or the car doors are open, some functions of the Starline A 39 CN 2 CAN signaling are not activated.

Malfunctions specific to the A39

1. Damage to the key fob body.

The material from which the main remote control is made is quite fragile, so owners are advised to purchase a protective case for it immediately after installation. If the key fob breaks, you can replace it with a new one at the service center.

2. False positives.

Many A39 owners complain about frequent alarms going off for no reason. This may be due to the shock sensor being too sensitive. To fix the problem, it is recommended to configure the device using the key fob buttons according to the instructions. With the onset of frost, the sensor may begin to operate more often, so it is recommended to reconfigure it with each change of season.
