Before the question of choosing the alarm isanyone who just bought a car. And the year of manufacture or the brand of the car does not matter. No matter what you own - used vehicles of the domestic auto industry or a brand-new foreign car, protection from detractors is needed by both. It is especially difficult to make a choice when in the eyes dazzled by annoying and numerous advertisements with the one meaningful phrase: “Put up our system and sleep peacefully.”
Today we look at the security system fromdomestic manufacturer - StarLine A93: reviews, range, basic characteristics, as well as denote the advantages and disadvantages of individual lines. In addition, we compare the A93 model with similar devices from competitors for a more visual picture.
Variations of the series A93
The series is available in several branches with different configurations, each of which has its own peculiarities, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Variations:
- Eco.
- GSM
- CAN LIN.
Let us examine each line of A93 in more detail, and on the last branch we will focus on particular attention, because the reviews of the owners on StarLine A93 CAN LIN are the most flattering.
Eso
The complete set of system A93 with a mark "Есо" is a budgetary variant. It includes only the most necessary functionality.
List of basic functions:
- 128-bit encryption with individual keys;
- interference protection for signal stability;
- availability of energy-efficient power supply system (cost);
- self test;
- tracking and protection of the communication channel;
- acceptable work in difficult climatic conditions;
- sensors that are responsible for the level of inclination and impact.
Owner reviews for StarLine A93 in thisbundling ambiguous. Many users purchased the version of Eso precisely at the expense of a modest price tag, so they understand that it is not worth waiting for something supernatural from this system. Nevertheless, it copes with its main task quite tolerably. In addition, the model received the function of “smart” start (by timer, by temperature overboard, etc.) and a flexible service channel for more fine-tuning StarLine A93 (F1). Comments on thorough adjustments are entirely positive: the owner can independently organize the optimal operation of the system, where he controls such parameters as sensitivity of sensors, noiselessness of certain modes, maximum siren volume and other characteristics.
Additional Features
Also in the budget line of Eco presentthe ability to integrate blocks, which allows you to make it, if not premium, then the middle class for sure. The list of additional equipment includes such useful things as a GSM module, access to a car without a key, an “invisible” lock, authorization with a pin code, and installation of a CAN LIN block.
Overall reviews on StarLine A93's alarm systemthe configuration of Eso is positive, but for many users, despite the quite affordable price tag, there is a lack of such advanced monitoring and security functions as GSM and GPS systems.
GSM
This is a more modern and improved equipment security system A93. The presence of a GSM unit has significantly expanded the functionality of the alarm.
Available features:
- Smart tilt and shock level sensors;
- two-way protection;
- radio interference barrier;
- work in a wide range of climatic conditions;
- resistance to voltage drop;
- self test;
- controlled communication channel;
- universal interfaces for service centers.
Distinctive features of the GSM modification
In addition, the system has additional functionality that is not available in the basic version. Among them:
- Super Slave (several ways to control the system);
- user authentication by PIN code;
- “Invisible” arming;
- "Smart" autorun;
- access to the car without a key.
Reviews alarm with auto start StarLine A93GSM versions are mostly positive. Despite the minor flaws that relate to installation on older cars (no keyless access, autostart function), the system turned out to be balanced. Many users were attracted by the presence of a telematic security complex, which allows you to track a car and its current state via GSM and GPS channels. Also, the alarm can be modified as in the case of Eco to a more advanced version by adding a CAN LIN block.
CAN LIN
In this modification there are several variablebranches: CAN LIN, adapted to the Russian Federation and the CIS - 2CAN 2LIN and the premium version - 2CAN 2LIN GSM Eco Slave. Consider each variation in more detail, starting with the first. In the basic version there is no functionality that allows you to track the car in the far distance, but judging by the reviews on the StarLine A93 CAN LIN, this problem is easily solved by installing additional GPS / GSM units.
This modification is incompatible with oldcars that are not equipped with modern interfaces to work with new security systems. The alarm will work, but some important functions will remain inaccessible. Therefore, before buying a system, be sure to check with the dealer its compatibility with your car, or at least read reviews on the StarLine A93 CAN LIN car alarm on specialized forums. You can also find the cars supported by the A93 series on the company's official resource.
Features of the equipment
The CAN LIN modification has the following set of functions:
- 128-bit encryption code with key binding;
- the presence of sensible protection from interference and external radio effects;
- energy efficient system;
- self test;
- management of all communication channels;
- work in difficult climatic conditions;
- tilt and impact level sensors;
- universal set of interfaces for service and individual service.
In addition, the CAN LIN system supportsuser authentication by PIN code, "silent" lock, "smart" autorun and access to the car without a key. Reviews of StarLine A93 CAN LIN are almost entirely positive: here they are cryptographic resistance, and extended locking on technical routes, and “smart” sensors, that is, the car after installing the system meets all the requirements for the protection of equipment against theft.
2CAN 2LIN
This modification is almost identical to the previous one.with the only difference that it was designed specifically for cars 2010-2016. issues that are implemented in the territory of the Russian Federation and the CIS. Just as in the first case, the system is devoid of long-distance communication modules (GPS, GSM), but with the possibility of subsequent installation of the latter.
Reviews on StarLine A93 of this modification are twofold.A good half of motorists, those who prefer to install and configure security systems on their own, complain about the inadequacy of the alarm system: “thoughtfulness”, inconsistent control, constant self-diagnostics and other shortcomings. But here, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the problem is simply the incorrect installation of the equipment: the machine is designed for the usual CAN LIN bus, and the master novice installs a specific version of 2CAN 2LIN, hence the complications. In addition, judging by the polynomial reviews on the StarLine A93, this tire is much more complicated (in terms of installation) of the previous modification. Therefore, the installation of such a serious security system is better to put on the shoulders of professionals.
Main features:
- radio interference protection;
- self test;
- Smart tilt and shock level sensors;
- bilateral protection;
- work in a wide range of climatic conditions;
- stability of the system at voltage surges;
- universal interfaces for service and individual service;
- full control of communication channels.
In addition, the security system includesmodern features such as Super Slave, “smart” engine start, user pin-code authorization, “silent” locking and keyless access to the car. In general, reviews on StarLine A93 version 2CAN 2LIN regarding the features are good. Virtually all car owners respond positively to smart sensors and impeccable work in the harsh Russian climate. Also, many were pleased with the reliable cryptosystem, which completely blocks the ability to intercept an individual security code.
2CAN 2LIN GSM Eco Slave
This modification can be called as “allincluded ", that is, the maximum possible equipment equipment. This is a full-fledged and multifunctional security complex, which is able to provide your car with reliable protection from and to. Here we have advanced monitoring at a long distance, coupled with a crypto-resistant interactive code. This modification is designed to work with cars on the same tire released in 2010-2016. for the territories of the Russian Federation and the CIS.
Main features:
- full protection from radio interference;
- self test;
- communication channel management;
- two-way protection;
- work in an extended range of climatic conditions;
- Smart tilt and shock level sensors;
- universal interfaces for service and individual service.
The system also includes the already familiar Super Slave functionality, pin-code authorization, keyless access, “silent” locking and “smart” autostart.
Owners opinion
Reviews on StarLine A93 at maximumbundling mostly positive. Users appreciated all the obvious advantages of such a security system: a very long range of use, trouble-free operation even in the most severe frosts and hot heat, sensible sensors, as well as excellent protection against theft, thanks to a cryptographic dialogue code. Some, of course, complain about the cost of the alarm, but for absolute calm in terms of theft will have to fork out.
Summarizing
Of course, there is a lot of Starline in this segment.competitors, and the very first is Pandora with its very good solution - Pandora DX50. The DX50 model has a more impressive range of labels, a large number of sensors throughout the body, the compactness of the system and the most secure communication channel at a frequency of 868 MHz.
Domestic competitor in the face of "Pandora"turned out attractive in many ways. The Russian company did its best to launch an alarm system with good noise immunity, crypto-resistant and with an extensive working radius. But it is impossible to note the existing disadvantages. First is the price. The basic and simplest DX50 equipment costs the same as Starline with GSM and GPS monitoring. In addition, our respondent has a powerful siren with the ability to adjust, and a competitor does not have one. It is also worth noting the noticeably greater sensitivity of the Pandora to voltage transmission, while Starline behaves much more stable in the most difficult situations.
What kind of alarm to choose solve onlycar owner - the difference between these two competing models is not so big. But it should be noted that if you need regular monitoring of all possible parts of the car, excellent noise immunity and range of use, then your choice is Pandora. Look for maximum functionality and increased reliability - you are on the shelf to the Starline systems.
