Every motorist wants his car to be well protected and warmed up a few minutes before the driver arrives. In Russia, this problem is all the more relevant - in a harsh climate, you have to freeze in the car for several minutes before it warms up enough. To get rid of such inconveniences will help car alarms with auto start function. Of course, there is a risk of theft of the vehicle during the absence of the driver, but if the car is not expensive, the chance of an adverse outcome is significantly reduced. In this article we will try to answer the question of which alarm with auto start is better.
10. Pantera CL-550 | Cost: 1400 rubles
Despite the low price, Pantera provides reliable car protection and performs all anti-theft functions. It has a dynamic code against interception and hacking, and a system that protects against scanning.
The alarm exclusively performs the remote control function. This means that you will not receive a signal about a car theft.
The device has a powerful speaker that will allow you to hear the signal even 200 meters away. The shock sensor will notify you in time of all possible external influences on the car.
You can configure some settings and functions of the device with autostart yourself, which is a “highlight” for an alarm in this price category. It controls the power window, interior light and central locking.
Signaling, of course, has flaws. But they do not affect the anti-theft function. These are, rather, flaws in the service area.
9. StarLine A91 | Cost: 7-8 thousand rubles
The range of this alarm with auto start up to 1.5 km. Does not respond to interference from third-party radio signals. The engine starts with an electronic timer. The device display has a clear interface and is not overloaded with anything superfluous. The alarm system works with car pressure sensors and power windows. The signal operates at extreme frequencies and has 128 bit encryption, which will protect against code interception and hacking, respectively.
8. Pandora DXL 3910 | Cost: 12 800 rubles
Not quite an ordinary alarm model. Arming and disarming is performed using two buttons on a regular key fob. And all other operations are controlled by a smartphone. To do this, you need to download the official Pandora Info company application or control the alarm system using the GSM interface. It has a wide selection of settings that can satisfy any driver.
The disadvantage of this alarm with auto start is a lot of complicated settings, which even a seasoned motorist will not always be able to figure out.
7. StarLine B64 Dialog CAN | Cost: 8 800 rubles
In addition to its basic functions, the device controls the lighting and temperature in the cabin, reacts to an open door or trunk. You can control the alarm with auto start both from key fobs (two in a set: with and without a display), and from a mobile device. The range is up to 2 kilometers.
An immobilizer and a GPS unit are not included in the kit, due to which the price is reduced. There is no regime of independence from electricity.
6. Alligator C-500 | Cost: 7 100 rubles
Alarm range is 2.5 km. It has channels for controlling additional devices, intelligent autostart, and two-way alerts.
Thanks to standard connectors, any user can configure the device. The alarm includes a turbo timer function and the inclusion of car security, even with the engine running. Advanced startup of the device, seven security zones and additional sensors make Alligator a very reliable device. The dual alarm code and changing frequencies will protect against hacking.
5. Pantera SLK-868RS | Cost: 4-7 thousand rubles
For motorists who do not intend to spend a large amount on a good alarm, the budget Pantera is suitable. It is characterized by stability of operation even in the coldest weather. The range of the device is up to 1 km. The keychain can even be reached by a car parked below ground level (underground parking).
The device has a display on which all the necessary information is displayed: engine status, errors in the security system, autorun operation. Alarm with auto control controls the front and rear windows, hood, doors.
Disadvantages: weak battery, which will have to be replaced every few months. Dynamic signaling encryption - hacking such a device is possible with the help of code interception. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy Pantera SLK on an expensive car.
4. Jaguar Ez-Ultra | Cost: 2 900 rubles
The device allows you to select any of the 8000 free channels, which protects against interference. Alarm with auto start responds to a click in a quarter of a second - a strong result for such a budget model. It has several channels for controlling the trunk lock and additional devices in the passenger compartment.
The special functions include the inclusion of a heater before starting the car, as well as the protection system when the engine is idling.
Of the shortcomings, only one-way alert should be highlighted, but alarms at this price can be forgiven.
3. Tomahawk 7.1 | Cost: 3,500 rubles
In the ranking of several automobile magazines, the device took first place in the price / quality ratio. It has the function of silently activating the protection mode. It has high-quality intelligent startup.
Alarm bonus: non-volatile memory. This means that if the power is suddenly turned off, the settings in the device’s system will not go wrong, which will quickly restore all the functions that worked.
It has a double code from hacking and interception. The keyfob screen displays all the settings and data on the system status. The lack of additional channels for controlling car devices can be called the only flaw in the Tomahawk auto-start alarm.
2. StarLine D94 2CAN GSM / GPS Slave | Cost: 20 500 rubles
Alarm has unlimited possibilities. Using the GSM-GPS module, you can control the device from a mobile phone, search for a vehicle in a parking lot, or determine the location of a car with great accuracy (for example, when a car is stolen).
The magazine “Behind the Wheel” called the StarLine D94 model an alarm with the highest level of protection against any impact.
When you try to raise the car with a jack or tow truck, the tilt sensor is triggered. And the autostart function of the alarm responds to changing air temperatures and automatically adjusts the engine warm-up time.
1. Scher-Khan Media ONE NEW | Cost: 20 500 rubles
The protection system of this device with autostart is based on an innovative code written using a non-decryptable algorithm. It has a JackStop function. Even if an attempt is made to steal a car in the presence of a driver, it will be impossible to seize it. A stolen keychain will not allow to start the car, thanks to the PIN-code. The list of functions of this alarm system includes: turbo timer, “smart” autostart, and light control. For such a price, a motorist will get a truly highly intelligent device. The disadvantage is the lack of a complete lock in non-volatile mode.
