StarLine alarms: just add GSM! To the regions of Russia
StarLine M31 is a miniature GSM module with which you can control various security and service functions via mobile phone: determine the location of the vehicle, start the engine, obtain data on the battery charge and listen to what is happening inside the cabin.
The module can work as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with car alarm systems from almost any manufacturer. Management is carried out using: special mobile application(on iOS and Android platforms), SMS messages and calls. The device supports the use of more than 50 different commands. Specially designed software saves battery power.
Main features of the StarLine M31 module
Any GSM operator SIM cards are suitable for normal operation of the device. Alerts are delivered to pre-programmed phone numbers (up to 4). For each number, set personal settings notifications: call, SMS, call and SMS, etc.
When an alarm is detected, the module instantly sends the owner a notification with detailed information about the event: opening a door, hood or trunk, disabling the handbrake, triggering a shock sensor, etc. Possibility of programming additional channels for activation in automatic mode in the event of any event: listening to the interior, turning on the alarm and others.
If the module is used autonomously, then using three special channels you can connect limit switches for the hood, doors or trunk to it. Each channel has an individual programmable alert mode. At the slightest detection of a violation, an alert is immediately sent to the owner.
In the event of an attempt to steal a vehicle, a command to stop the engine can be sent to the module. Also, to increase the level of security, it is possible to set a ban on control from any numbers except the telephone number of the car owner.
The built-in GPS receiver will help you find out the exact geographic coordinates of the vehicle: upon request, an SMS message with coordinates and a link to the website gmap.ultrastar.ru will be sent to the owner’s phone number, where the exact location of your car will be indicated on a detailed map.
If you want to listen to what is happening inside your car, you can use the built-in microphone, the sensitivity of which is adjusted via your phone.
Implementation of autostart without alarm
StarLine M31 can be used for implementation by command from a phone, according to a schedule with a certain frequency, by an alarm clock or by temperature. The module also implements the function of controlling modern pre-heaters () via the W-BUS bus.
Additional information

GSM module STARLINE GSM5-Master
The STARLINE GSM5-Master module is designed for StarLine security systems with a flexible architecture.
Using the StarLine GSM5-Master module, you can manage the safety of your car from anywhere in the world using a mobile phone and a free mobile application StarLine Telematics for smartphones based on iOS And Android.
Compatible with car alarm models A63/A93/A64/A94/B64/B94/D64/D94/E60/E90/A95/E63/E93/E65/E95
STARLINE GSM5-Master module integrated into the unit (1 piece) main characteristics:
The main disadvantage of car alarms with feedback– limited radius of this connection. This was the result of several reasons:
- Legislative restrictions on the power of unlicensed transmitters;
- Requirements for economical consumption of car batteries and key fob batteries;
- The city airwaves are overloaded with interference, mostly from other alarms.
Main alarm unit A93 with two additional boards (CAN adapter and GSM module).
The site employs an auto electrician-diagnostician, a certified StarLine specialist. If you have questions about car alarms, ask them at the end of the article in the comments or on Vkontakte. When applying, please indicate the make of the car and the model of the alarm.
GSM board functions
It is not uncommon for a car parked on the other side of the house to be narrower. Therefore, the use of a GSM channel in the coverage area cellular communications making it possible to communicate with a car at any distance has become a logical stage in the development of security systems. Regardless of the distance, when an alarm occurs, the owner will receive a call and SMS notification; in the same way, you can control all the alarm capabilities, including auto-start.
Supports installation of GSM modules in the form of expansion cards into the main alarm unit. It is noteworthy that they are immediately integrated with a GPS/GLONASS signal receiver, and when connected external antenna determine the coordinates of the car from high accuracy. The procedure for installing and configuring the module thanks to the common platform is the same for everyone, so let’s look at an example alarm system StarLine A93.
Although it is also sold in configurations where the GSM module is installed and registered initially, sometimes owners save on the configuration and later want to improve the alarm system. In this case, problems arise that need to be dealt with.
Installing a GSM module in an alarm system
The GSM module itself is a compact board that has a slot for a SIM card. This card is already included, but is not always available tariff plan suits the user, so it’s worth buying a map of your region with favorable tariff on SMS and Internet traffic.
After installing the SIM card, remove the central alarm unit and remove the cover from it - if the car alarm is installed professionally, this will be a labor-intensive stage of work. Be sure to disconnect the connectors from the central unit - you cannot connect expansion cards while the unit is under voltage.
Having assembled the case and returned the alarm to its place, we begin setting up.
Setting up an alarm after installing remote control
When setting up, try to configure an unregistered module: although the Starline A93 will “see” it when the power is turned on, it will not provide full functionality - for example, it will be impossible to control the alarm system. This is necessary to protect against the substitution of a module or SIM card by a thief if the car uses wireless locks that it has not detected: replacing the module will still leave the car immobilized.
First, be sure to register a new module: with the ignition off, press the Valet button seven times, then turn on the ignition. This will automatically start polling new modules and registering them in the alarm memory, after which a satellite icon will appear on the key fob screen, confirming that the telematic alarm functions are configured.
Next, let's start setting up the module. Use the voice interface - take the phone that is used as M1 (that is, as the phone with the highest priority in control and notifications), and call the SIM card number installed in the alarm. If the card is operational and the module has been registered, the voice control menu should be activated.
After the greeting, set two four-digit passwords - PW and PS. After this, the phone number from which the call was made will automatically be registered as M1, and a confirmation SMS will be sent to it. These passwords are needed for:
1. PW – sending commands from numbers registered as M2 and further, that is, not from the owner’s main number.
2. PS allows you to set new number M1, if you decide to change it.
If you have connected an external GPS/GLONASS antenna to the alarm (we strongly recommend doing this, since the accuracy of determining the vehicle’s coordinates will increase significantly), then activate satellite geopositioning by sending an SMS with code 00492 to the alarm. If this is not done, then even if With the connected antenna, the coordinates are determined only by cellular network stations!
However, SMS and voice control not as convenient as mobile applications and the StarLine Internet portal. Therefore, we will continue registration - use the login and password that are written on the card included in the kit, but it is much more convenient (and safer!) to create your own account.

Registration on the portal
Registration on starline-online.ru is required to access the alarm system both from a PC and from a mobile application. In addition, you will evaluate the functionality in advance using the “Demo Login” button on the website or application.
So, after clicking on the “Registration” button, enter your e-mail, create a password and check the “I know the SIM card number of my device” checkbox. After receiving a confirmation e-mail, click on the link and it will immediately open in your browser personal account user.
By clicking on “Add device”, we will begin the registration procedure. At the first stage, we set the device type (in our case it is a GSM module).
All that remains is to set the device name, enter the SIM card number and send an SMS with the code 00581 to it from the phone previously specified as M1. Having received the code, enter it into the form, and after clicking “Continue” the device is registered on the portal.
GSM/GPS modules for car alarms will promptly inform the vehicle owner about its unauthorized use, start, stop or blocking of the power unit, as well as remote performance of service functions. The devices are universal and can be installed on all brands of cars. Some systems are powered from the on-board network, or others from the built-in power supply.
The driver can be informed by sending SMS or voice messages in advance numbers indicated different phones mobile operators. The alarm is controlled remotely via telephones using the radio channel of the cellular network. Only when commands are issued from specific telephone numbers they will be perceived.
Diagnosis of the condition can be carried out thanks to the signal from the LED lamp. Advanced car alarms are designed to battery life. To connect them, it is enough to connect the devices to the on-board electrical network.
Some models GSM/GPS modules for car alarms have energy-saving modes to increase operating life. For example, in standby mode, the integrated battery will consume electricity only if a SIM card is present. And if the main power source is turned off, the system will be able to function for several days.
Thanks to the use of GSM/GPS modules, it is possible to create effective security and telematics systems, which are usually connected via a CAN bus. Unlike conventional car alarms, devices of this type give a signal to the owner, regardless of the distance to him. The main thing is that there is GSM coverage.
Basic functions
Most GSM/GPS modules for car alarms perform the following functions:
- Connection via 2CAN bus
- Ability to operate in Slave mode
- Remote control pre-heaters motors
- Controlling a standard car alarm using your phone
- Immobilizer bypass module control
- Possibility of automatic and remote motor start
- Obtaining data on the coordinates of the vehicle's location
Modern systems make it possible to determine the location of a vehicle with an accuracy of several meters. This is exactly what a GPS receiver is designed for. After sending the request, a text message with the coordinates of the vehicle’s location is sent to the telephone device. Even if the car is stolen, the owner of the car will be able to quickly find it or find out where a member of his family or another driver who is driving the car is now.
Modern modules can process over fifty commands and can also be programmed. You can store several phone numbers in the SIM card memory, and messages will be sent to them. Thanks to the module, you can find out why the alarm went off. Was this caused by an open door, starting the engine, triggering the shock sensor, disabling the parking brake, etc.
Branded GSM/GPS modules will greatly increase vehicle protection and ease of use. Thanks to them the owners vehicles will always know where their four-wheeled friend is and in what condition its main systems are.
