Specifications

Description of the main characteristics of the Starline A62 Dialog Can Flex:

The transmission of commands between the microprocessor and the transceiver is carried out over a radio channel with a frequency of 433 MHz.
This model of security complex is controlled by using 128 channels.
The maximum range of the key fob in message transmission mode varies around 800 meters. When receiving signals from the transceiver, this figure increases to 2000 m.
The range of the spare pager is 15 m.
The sensor for recording impacts and physical impacts on the body belongs to the class of piezoelectric devices.
The temperature range for efficient operation of the microprocessor is from -40 to +85 degrees.
The security system is powered from a 12-volt power supply. Voltage surges in the range from 9 to 18 V are allowed. However, the installation of the Starline A62 anti-theft system cannot be carried out on motorcycles or heavy-duty vehicles.
Protection of power lines of the security complex is carried out using safety devices. The rating of the element depends on the specific electrical circuit.
When operating in vehicle security mode, the system will consume no more than 25 mA of current.
To power the main key fob, equipped with a screen, AAA batteries are used, each of which is rated at 1.5 V. The spare communicator uses CR2450 class elements of 3 volts.

The Starline A62 alarm system uses the “Fast Dialogue” technology with a crypto-resistant dialogue code and a personal encryption key. Thanks to this, the likelihood of electronic hacking of the system is minimized.

Starline A66 is the most reliable security system in its category

Among the models considered, the A66 alarm system has an undeniable advantage. Its functionality is much more extensive, and its security system is an order of magnitude higher than that of the A64 and, especially, the older A62. We can say that this system is a modernized version of previous versions, combining the reliability of Starline security and the latest developments in the field of automotive security systems.

Despite the fact that the A66 car alarm is an inexpensive option, the actual degree of protection it provides is not inferior to higher-class models. The system is equipped with a tilt controller, as well as a two-level shock sensor. If desired, the alarm functionality can be expanded by adding GPS and GSM devices. The automatic start function is carried out when installing security equipment connected via Can-bus.

Equipment

Overview of the elements included in the delivery set of the Starline A62 car alarm for cars:

Service documentation for installation, connection and configuration of the security system. The manual includes an electrical diagram that will allow you to connect all components of the anti-theft system.
User's note.
Guarantee document.
Main pager for system management. The device is equipped with a screen, thanks to which it has a two-way communication function. Information about the operation of the car alarm is displayed on the display in the form of indicators.
Microprocessor module for system control. The device is housed in a rectangular plastic case.
Transceiver with built-in antenna module. Equipped with a wire and connector for connection.
Additional keychain. The pager is not equipped with a screen, so it does not provide feedback.
Shock and sensitivity sensor of two-level type. Equipped with a wire and a connection block.
Battery for use in the main pager.

Basic alarm functions

Options that are implemented in the Starline A62 Dialogue system:

Controlling the security mode using a key fob or a button to enter the service mode. In the second case, the user's personal password is used.
The presence of passive blocking of the machine engine.
Anti-robbery option. This function is intelligent and is used to block the motor in the event of a forceful seizure of the vehicle. After the attack, the user can enable the option, which is activated after 30-60 seconds. This is done for the safety of the car owner, so that the attacker drives away from him, but does not go far from the crime scene.
Self-diagnosis when protective mode is turned off. The alarm system tests its main elements and identifies failed equipment. Information about this is displayed on the communicator screen.
Possibility of separate opening of door locks.
Bypassing the non-working protection zone. If defective security zones were detected during the check, the system will bypass them.
The presence of a memory module built into the microprocessor. The control unit stores data about alarm events indicating the zones that led to their activation. The memory module also stores information about the system state. If the power is turned off, when it is turned on again, the alarm will return to its original state.
Preservation of the power unit locking in case of dismantling the alarm system.
Possibility of installing and connecting additional shock and sensitivity sensors.
Silent security function. When the alarm mode is activated, the siren does not sound. Information about this is sent only to the communicator with a display.
Panic mode. Its essence is to activate alarms and lights upon command from a pager. This will scare away potential intruders from the car and designate the vehicle as protected.
Calling the car owner. The implementation of the option was made possible thanks to the presence of a button on the transceiver module.
Control of door locks from the ignition system.
Monitoring the battery charge in the pager. Information about the operation of the battery is displayed on the key fob display.

Reviews from drivers using Starline A62, A64, A66 alarm systems

Reviews about the A62 alarm:

Positive	Negative
Convenient, good alarm system. It rarely works without a reason. In 4 years of use I have only changed the button on the key fob once, and it works great.	Installed on a Ford Focus in 2012. At first it worked well, but after about a year it started to malfunction. I went to the service center where they installed it for me. The guys reconfigured it, but it doesn’t work as clearly as before. The range of action has decreased and does not work the first time. I will say this: the signal is not bad, but short-lived.
Inexpensive and reliable alarm. There are all the functions for a budget car: LCD display, shock sensor, feedback. Quite enough for my Fifteen. The screen clearly shows whether the car is closed or not, and what exactly is open: the doors, trunk or hood. There is a function to block the engine in case of theft. I think that with such protection you can sleep peacefully.	Not the best option that is offered on the market. The functions are quite weak. Everything you need, for example, a GPS module, must be purchased separately. There is also no auto start, which is extremely inconvenient in winter. I got this alarm along with the car I bought. I'm using it for now, but I'm thinking of changing it soon.

Reviews about the operation of the A64 alarm

Positive	Negative
I have had an a64 2can slave car alarm for 3 years now. There have been no glitches the whole time, nothing to complain about. I didn’t find any disadvantages, only advantages: reliability, high-quality communication (the response is always the first time), a large radius of operation of the key fob.

Advantages and disadvantages

Overview of the advantages that Starline A62 alarms have:

Protection of all system elements from signal interception and hacking.
The strength of the pager, as well as its ergonomics. The key fob is equipped with a shock-resistant case, which eliminates the possibility of its breakage as a result of a fall or other mechanical damage.
The presence of a Russified key fob interface simplifies the process of setting up functions. In addition, the communicator has a backlight, so the user can conveniently change system parameters in the dark.
Affordable price with extensive functionality and reliable operation of the system.

As reviews from car owners about the Starline A62 alarm system show, this model has no serious shortcomings.

Self-connection of a security system to a car

To install a car alarm with your own hands, you need to have some experience in working with electrical circuits and strictly follow the manufacturer's recommendations. The standard instructions for car alarms Starline A64, A62 and A66 contain a detailed diagram of the installation and connection of all elements of the system.

Installation instructions

Installation manual for Starline A62:

The ignition and all electrical devices in the car are turned off. It is necessary to de-energize the on-board network; to do this, disconnect the terminal with the negative contact from the battery.
A microprocessor is installed inside the vehicle. To install the unit, you should choose a place that is maximally protected from external influences, moisture and elevated temperatures. The module is installed on a flat surface, preferably behind the instrument panel, this will ensure a minimum length of wires for connection. Plastic clamps or self-tapping screws are used for fixation. To protect the microprocessor module from moisture and vibration during driving, the device can be additionally wrapped in cellophane and foam rubber.
A siren is installed under the hood of the car if one is to be used. The use of this device is not necessary, since alarm signals can be organized using the steering horn. If an autonomous siren is used, then during installation it is necessary to ensure free access to the keyhole installed in it.
A transceiver with a built-in antenna is placed on the car window. The glass surface is first cleaned and degreased, which will ensure high-quality contact. There should be no electronic devices or metal parts of the body within 5 cm of the transceiver. Their presence will cause interference and reduce the range of the key fob.
The shock and sensitivity sensor is installed in the car interior, preferably in the central part of the body. For installation, you can choose a metal partition separating the engine compartment. The device is fixed on a flat surface using plastic clamps, screws or glue. The use of plastic or rubber gaskets is not allowed; this will lead to incorrect operation of the sensor and its premature operation.
Limit switches are installed on the hood, trunk and doors. Installation of devices is not permitted in drains. The wiring from the sensors is routed to the microprocessor module.
The button to enter the service mode is located inside the car. It is recommended to hide it, but in such a way that the consumer has access to the device from the driver’s seat.

The StarLine2011 channel in its video showed in detail the process of installing the Starline A62 alarm using the example of a Peugeot 308 car.

a-62 change block to autostart (to another block)

Good afternoon, this is a question, it is now installed on a Ford Starline A62 car without autostart, is it possible to install some kind of block to make autostart, or throw out the block from Straline A62 - install a block with autostart from another alarm system, reprogram it and the car so that there is autostart

Answers 1

Since the A62 has a signal connector (the most important one), which is not compatible with any other alarm systems (even outdated and long-discontinued ones - with the same A92 with autostart) and, moreover, modern systems generally have completely different connectors, then the most reasonable thing to do is light

Is it possible to install some kind of block to make autostart,

there will be a complete amputation of all elements of the A62, including all its wiring and installation “from scratch”, for example, the modern alarm system A93+2CANLIN (the presence of a CAN adapter in the alarm system will simplify a number of connections, in particular the implementation of door control). In addition to the alarm itself with the auto-start function, you will need to install an immobilizer BYPASS, for example StarLine BP-3 (with either one of the car keys or an additionally added CHIP installed in it), since according to the car make-model specified in the profile, KEYLESS bypass is not supported and in the near future time is not planned.

Only this option will allow you to fully use automatic launch and security from one key fob.

An alternative option is to install WITHOUT AMPUTATION A62 an ADDITIONAL GSM module in the car, for example StraLine M32 (and an immo crawler, where would we be without it). But in this case, it will be possible to start the car only from a phone or the TELEMATICS mobile application, and during the installation process, installers will also have to solve the problem of how to prevent the alarm from blaring when it sees that someone (M32, to be precise) turns on the ignition security mode. And for security, locking/unlocking doors, etc. as before, only the A62 and its key fob will respond (the M32 will only start.), IN FACT, there will be TWO INDEPENDENT (almost) devices on board.

Moreover, the alarm system is already about 7 years old (provided that the manufacturer has set FIVE years as the forty life of its equipment and failure beyond this period is only a matter of time).

User manual

According to the operating instructions, after installing the car alarm, you need to check the operation of the security mode. If the door locks lock and unlock when you turn the security on and off, you can begin setting up the system.

Setting up the key fob

Before using the pager, you must insert a working power source into the device. The battery is inserted into a special compartment located behind the back cover of the key fob.

To use all options, the communicator must be linked to the control unit:

When the ignition is turned off, the button to enter the emergency alarm maintenance mode is pressed 7 times.
The key in the lock is turned to the “ACC” position. When entering the key fob programming menu, the pager will emit 7 beeps.
On the remote control, press keys 1 and 2 simultaneously and hold for several seconds. You can release the buttons after one siren signal is heard. If linked, an icon in the form of an open lock will appear on the pager screen. These steps are repeated for each key fob being programmed. No more than 5 seconds should pass between pairing devices, otherwise the alarm will exit the programming menu.
To complete the setup process, the ignition in the car is turned off. The lights should flash three times.

Using the fourth control element, the cursor must be moved to the position of the required indicator.
To activate the selected function, briefly press the third key of the key fob, to disable it - the second. The setup menu is automatically exited after two seconds if the user does not press any buttons during this time.

Setting up autorun

Starline A62 alarm systems do not have an automatic engine start function. But its implementation is possible after installing an additional module. To do this, you can use Starline devices (for example, M31) or other analogues. Depending on the model, control is usually carried out through calls or SMS messages. The module, receiving a command with a certain code, performs the function remotely.

Emergency alarm shutdown

If the communicator from Starline A62 is lost or damaged, the security mode can be disabled using the service button:

The driver's door is opened with a key. This will trigger the siren alarms.
The key is inserted into the lock and turned to turn on the ignition. After activation, the button to enter emergency service mode is pressed several times. The number of “clicks” must correspond to the first digit of the personal code.
The ignition in the car is turned off. If a unique password is programmed, the security mode should be disabled. In confirmation, the car's external lights will blink twice. If the code is two-digit, then similar steps are repeated to enter the next character.

Factory reset

To reset all parameters to factory values, perform the following steps:

The car's ignition is turned off.
The emergency service mode entry button is pressed 9 times.
The key is turned in the lock to turn on the ignition. To confirm entering the reset menu, the siren will sound nine times.
Then the service mode key is pressed one more time. One siren signal will indicate that the settings have been reset.

How to set up autostart by temperature, time, alarm clock from the key fob

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

Autostart from the vehicle's engine key fob can be done remotely based on temperature, time, and alarm clock. Before setting up autorun using any of the three options, you must meet the following requirements:

the gearshift handle (gearbox) must be in the neutral position - the gears are disabled;
the vehicle doors and hood should be closed;
turn off the ignition;
activate the car's handbrake.

Any model of the Starline security system is accompanied by detailed instructions that explain in detail how to use autostart. However, not everyone has the patience to study it from beginning to end. Therefore, we will answer which buttons to press to start the car engine remotely. After getting out of the car and closing the last door, we activate the alarm, and then carry out the following manipulations on the key fob to set the system to autostart from a distance:

Press and hold button No. 1 for 3 seconds.
Next, click on button No. 2.

Fact. The Starline alarm system provides comprehensive vehicle protection. Engine and ignition from unauthorized starting, switching on. The body, along with the windows and wheels, reacts to shocks and impacts. Doors, trunk, hood are burglary proof.

Auto start on alarm clock

So, how to set up remote automatic start of a car engine using an alarm clock on the key fob. First you should check the current time on the alarm clock, and then follow the instructions:

we activate the function, which is indicated on the key fob display with a graphic image of a bell;
Having checked the current and set the required time, successively pressing buttons No. 3 and No. 1, move the cursor to the “dial” icon and activate auto-start on the alarm clock, which will be confirmed by a flash of dimensions;
confirmation of activation of autostart by alarm on the key fob appears in the appearance of two icons on the display - a bell and a dial, coupled with a sound signal.

You can deactivate the function by hovering the cursor over the dial image and then pressing the key fob button No. 2. Two flashes of dimensions and the absence of a bell with a dial on the key fob screen are a signal that the function is disabled.

Fact. If an attempt is made to illegally enter a vehicle, the Starline security system emits loud audio and visual signals. Even by turning off the sound siren, the criminals will not be able to neutralize the alarm signal received by the security console, telephone or pager of the car owner.

Autorun by time (timer)

As part of the answer to the question of how to enable auto-start of the engine from the security system key fob at a specific time (timer), we offer you the following instructions:

move the cursor to the “hourglass” icon by clicking successively on buttons No. 3 and No. 1;
A flash of dimensions, a sound signal on the key fob and the appearance of an hourglass icon on its display indicate that the function is turned on and the vehicle engine begins to warm up for the programmed time.

You can deactivate the function by hovering the cursor over the hourglass icon again and pressing button No. 2. A double flash of dimensions, a sound signal and the disappearance of the graphic image on the LCD screen of the key fob indicate that the function is disabled.

Autostart based on temperature indicators

From the autostart unit - key fob, you can also configure the remote start of the vehicle engine based on temperature indicators outside the car. The security system monitors the readings of a temperature sensor installed on the car's engine, and after activation, starts warming up the engine for a programmed period of time.

The option is enabled in the following order:

point the cursor at the “thermometer” icon and briefly press button No. 1, after which the dimensions will flash, a sound signal on the key fob and the current temperature value will appear for 4 seconds;
short presses on button No. 1 set the desired parameters (each press changes the temperature by 30 C);
Holding down button No. 1 for a long time until a sound signal activates the autostart mode based on the temperature outside the vehicle (two short beeps and the appearance of the “thermometer” icon on the display indicate activation of the function).

The option is deactivated using a standard action - move the cursor over the “thermometer” icon and press button No. 2. A double flash of the dimensions, a sound signal and the disappearance of the graphic icon on the key fob display confirm that the function is disabled.

Well, as far as I understood from the TP’s explanations on the phone, I won’t be able to use the AZ from the key fob, and for it I will have to use a mobile phone - that’s fine. That “Telematics” precisely combines both modules in order to receive information from the A62 using the M31, but since A62 is old, so there is not enough information. This is also kind of like figs with him. There’s not much information needed there, except for Security/not security, worked/didn’t work. Those. In theory, there should not be “2 separate” devices, but something like “one and a half”. But it’s not clear about placing the M31 under guard. I'll go look through the manuals. It’s still not clear how well this whitefish fits with my car.

Yes, by the way, they sent me to https://www.ultrastar.ru/8636/13317 for a manual. And the manuals are from the version WITHOUT CAN and Telematics. For telematics, only an additional document. Does anyone have links to the full manual for version CAN + Telematics 1.0?
