Of everything model range The most unfortunate alarm system with Scher-Khan autostart is definitely Magicar 5. This is due not only and not only to the hacking vulnerability common to all Scher-Khan systems of these years, but also to the extremely illogical implementation of autorun. Even the classic and most convenient “software neutral” for raising the handbrake cannot be physically implemented here, there is no input for the handbrake.
In the same way, the most accurate analog method for monitoring engine operation using a tachometric signal is not provided. So best recommendation owners of such systems will have to replace them with more modern ones that work adequately with autorun and persistent co.
Nevertheless, many motorists continue to use previously installed (usually in car dealerships) Magicar 5, and during operation, questions inevitably arise - from how to set up the Sherkhan Magicar 5 key fob to how to disable autorun on Magicar 5 (by the way, correct reading- "magicar").
An auto electrician-diagnostician, a certified StarLine specialist, works on the site. If you have questions about car alarms, ask them at the end of the article in the comments or Vkontakte. When contacting, indicate the make of the car and the model of the alarm.
Keyfob programming
Although “falling off” key fobs are mainly the prerogative of the Logicar line, where the need for regular re-registration has become a byword for a long time, there is a possibility of loss of recognition here. It is not difficult to register the Sherkhan 5 keychain, it is enough to remember a simple procedure.
First of all, you need to remember that the entire set must be rewritten: at the beginning of the procedure, the memory of all previously stored key fobs is erased. If a problem arose on the road, when you only have one key fob with you, you should repeat the procedure upon returning home, but with complete set- otherwise, if the main key fob breaks, you will have to open the car with emergency disarming of the system. On all prescribed key fobs with an LCD screen, you need to turn off the " Free hands” (holding button 1 for two seconds), and the system is disarmed.
Key fob programming is performed in three stages:
- Quickly turn the ignition on and off three times, after which the light alarm should give one flash.
- Switch on the ignition again, leaving it in this state.
- With a pause of no more than 4 seconds, alternately press buttons 1 on all prescribed remote controls (no more than three).
Exit from the keyfob assignment mode will occur automatically 4 seconds after the last press.
Re-prescribing- one of the most effective measures in case the Magikar 5 key fob does not work. Only after making sure that there is no physical connection (that is, the key fob cannot be registered), you need to look for a problem in the system or change the key fob.

Since the alarm has a timer autostart mode, when the car starts every day at a specified time, for its operation it is necessary to correctly set the time on the main key fob. The procedure for setting the time on the Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm key fob:
1. Hold down buttons 2 and 3 for 2 seconds. The display will change to something that looks like "Pro9" (actually it should be Prog, but due to the limitations of the seven-segment screen elements, it looks like this).
2. Briefly press button 1 - the current time will start flashing, the key fob will give a single signal.
3. Press button 2 to set the hours, use button 3 to enter the minutes.
Autorun by time(of course, all the right connections and the settings of the system itself must be made in advance) is possible in two versions. Or the car starts every day in set time(for which the clock is set), or this happens every 2, 4, 8 hours from the moment the mode is activated and regardless of the clock setting. The type of timer autorun is set in the system settings, that is, several options cannot be activated at the same time.
To enable autorun by timer for 24 hours, you need:
1. Hold down buttons 2 and 3 for 2 seconds.
2. After the inscription “Pro9” appears, briefly press button 2 (not 1, as for setting the current time. The indications of the previously set autorun time will start blinking.
3. Press button 1 to set hours, button 2 to set minutes.
5. Press buttons 2 and 4 to turn on the TIMER indicator on the screen.
If you need to change the autorun time when the timer is already activated, you must first disable it (similarly, by pressing 2 + 4), set the timer time, then enable it back.
If the alarm settings are set to run periodically, just press the 2+4 buttons to turn on and off. After activating the intermittent start mode for the first time, the engine will start after 2, 4 or 8 hours, depending on the settings of the central unit.

Auto start by temperature and voltage
Since Sherkhan Magikar 5 (in the generally accepted meaning) does not allow autostart by temperature, it is only possible to limit the periodic start. In other words, the car will try to start every 2, 4, 8 hours if the following conditions are met:
- the temperature at the installation point of the central unit is lower than the specified threshold;
- the battery voltage is lower than the set threshold.
You can set one of these conditions, or two at the same time. Their programming is described below.
Alarm settings
To change the system settings, any of the previously registered key fobs is used. The car must be disarmed, ignition off.
The system has two separate settings menus. The entrance to the first menu is performed by pressing and holding the buttons 1 + 2, the second - 1 + 4. After the sound signal, you need to select the function number by pressing button 4 and make a short pause, after which the machine will give the number of the selected function with siren signals. With buttons 1,2,3 and 4, you can then set the desired value of the function.
In menu 1 The following functions are associated with the work of autorun:
- 12: Engine warm-up time at auto start, 5,15,25 or 45 minutes for settings 1 to 4 respectively.
- 13: timer start type. In value 1, the launch occurs every 24 hours according to the time set on the key fob, in values 2.3 and 4 - every 8.4 or 2 hours from the moment of activation.
- 14: Limit the number of autostarts, maximum 5, 7, 16. When set to 4, the number of starts on the timer is not limited.
- 16: autorun reservation type. In option 1, the ignition interception occurs every time the ignition is turned off, but with a noticeable pause during which the engine may stall. Option 2 introduces additional condition: The doors must be closed. If you do not need autostart reservation at a particular moment, it is enough to first open the door and then turn off the ignition. There is also a delay before the ignition is intercepted. Therefore, the only adequately working backup option on the Magicar 5 is manual backup (function value 3), when you need to press and hold button 2 of the key fob before turning off the ignition.
- 17: a way to complete the "software neutral" algorithm. In option 1, the car will stall after closing the door without arming, in option 2 it will be similar, but with auto-arming. In option 3, the engine will stall only after manual arming. This is the only way to use.
- 20: Limit periodic triggers based on battery voltage. In option 1 it is not set, option 2 sets the threshold to 11.5 V - until the voltage drops below, the start will be blocked. If you choose to run every 24 hours, the setting is ignored.
- 21: auto start temperature threshold. In option 1 it is not installed, in options 2-4 the temperature is set to -15, -25 and 60 degrees, respectively (the last option is for the air conditioner to work in the heat).
Menu 2 autorun needs settings:
- 12: minimum starter rotation time, 0.6, 0.8, 1.2 or 2 seconds. It should be set to the minimum possible, since there is no automatic cut-off of the starter, as on alarms with a tachometric input.
- 13: maximum time starter rotation, 2, 4, 8, 10 sec. It should also be as low as possible to save the resource of the starter and the flywheel ring gear.
- 14: increase in starter rotation time on subsequent attempts to start after an unsuccessful one. In option 1, each new start attempt lasts 0.2 s longer than the previous one, in option 2 - by 0.4 s. Option 3 sets the fixed scroll time given by function 12.
- 15: pause between ignition on and start attempt, 2, 4, 8 and 10 seconds. The first two options are relevant for gasoline engines, options 3 and 4 are for diesel engines with glow plugs.
- 16: pause after stopping the engine until the ignition is turned off. 0, 4, 15 seconds or 4 with restart attempts.
The remaining autorun settings are related to the connection scheme for a particular car and should not be changed by the user.
To set autostart from keychain Scher- Khan magicar 5, press button 2 on the key fob and hold it down for more than two seconds. With this manipulation, the car will be set to armed mode with the engine running, the doors will be locked, and after that the engine will be started. If the engine is started successfully, then the key fob will display information about how much time is left for the engine to run before stopping (it is most convenient if the time interval is programmed in minutes - from 5 to 45 minutes). If the launch has taken place, then in the distance you can see light smoke from the exhaust pipe.
To start a trip, during the set autostart interval, when it has not yet expired, open the driver's door, insert the ignition key into the lock and switch it to the position that corresponds to the inscription on the ignition on. All these actions must be done in no more than 20 seconds, if you delay in time, the ignition will not turn on and the engine will be turned off. As you understand, this is provided to prevent malicious attempts to steal your car.
In case of an unsuccessful start, the Sherkhan Magikar 5 system will make a second, and then a third attempt to start the engine. If all three launch attempts failed, then security system stabilizes in standby mode. To re-initiate the autostart function, you must first make sure that the engine is working.
Why autorun Scher-Khan magicar 5 does not work
Possible reasons for autorun failure are as follows:
- discharged battery;
- the temperature outside the window in winter has reached a critically low level (preventing the easy operation of this function);
- other ICE systems could malfunction, making it difficult to start the engine;
- car electrical failure
- problems are related to the immobilizer, which prevents autorun;
- the indicator shows smoke, although the engine did not start, so the system does not attempt to start 2.
If, when the key is flogged, the ignition works, and the auto start from a distance does not work, then you need to reprogram it, you can try to do the following - make the start periods shorter and set the response temperature higher.
How the Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm works during launch:
When it is not possible to set to autorun:
- with the ignition off;
- if not all car doors are closed;
- if the motor is already running;
- in cars with mechanical transmission - if the "redundancy" mode is not active.
If the remote start is successful, then the corresponding systems behave as follows:
When the engine is automatically stopped, the systems behave as follows:

One of the most popular anti-theft systems is Sherkhan Magikar 5. This is universal equipment. It is compatible with all types of gearboxes. One of the advantages of the Sherkhan Magikar 5 system is its reliability and high efficiency. It uses two-way communication with the car and displays information about its condition on a key fob with a display.
"Sherkhan Magikar 5", the instruction manual for which is included with the purchase, is recognized as one of the best options anti-theft devices. What are the main points to pay attention to? This will help the advice of experienced drivers.
Key Features
The Sherkhan Magikar 5 car alarm, the operating instructions for which should be well studied by the driver before starting its operation, is installed in the engine compartment of the car. This system is compatible with diesel and petrol engines. It is considered universal.
The limitation set by the manufacturer concerns the mains voltage. The wiring must supply 12 V for power.
The message between the vehicle's systems and the user's key fob is transmitted via a two-way radio link. Moreover, the engine starts when a special signal is transmitted from the remote control. You can program a timer.
The signal transmission range is 1.5 km. However, the car should be parked in an open area where it will be clearly visible. In the presence of obstacles, the signal range is reduced.
Advantages
The Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm, the operating instructions for which should be studied in detail by the driver, has a number of advantages. This explains its high popularity.
System reliability will be ensured by protection high level for all sensors, processor and antenna. Its installation is quite fast. Each owner will cope with this if desired. vehicle.
A powerful siren is installed in the engine department. It is quite loud and has almost no failures in operation. The advantage of the presented system is also the application of high standards in development. The creators of this alarm tested the equipment, which made it possible to bring its reliability to a high level.
The control panel with a display allows the owner of the machine to fully control all functions, as well as easily navigate the system readings. To take full advantage of the alarm, you must carefully study all the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Where to begin?
"Sherkhan Magikar 5", the instruction of which describes in detail the operation process, requires the implementation of all the manufacturer's recommendations. Installation must be carried out by a qualified mechanic. Otherwise, if installed incorrectly, the protective functions of the alarm may be impaired.
To get started with installed system you need to insert the battery into the key fob. It is included in the package, but is not installed in the remote control. This allows you to keep its charge at a high level.
After turning on the key fob, you can start working. To do this, information about the state of the car is displayed. You can manage commands, program the key fob using 4 buttons. Signals are transmitted in a certain encoding. It is unique, so no other remote can control the system. During the operation of the key fob, you can bind it again to the control unit, if for some reason the alarm system has stopped responding to its commands.
Guard mode
Compliance with the rules of work and a responsible attitude of the driver requires "Sherkhan Magikar 5". The instruction manual (autostart and other important modes which are described in detail) allows you to increase the comfort of using the machine.
To begin with, the driver must put the car in security mode. To do this, it is necessary to tightly close all the doors of the car, raise the windows. The trunk is also checked. After that, the driver presses the first button on the key fob. The locks are blocked, the starter will not work.
If the command is completed, the key fob will emit a characteristic sound. The alarm will also beep and the headlights will flash 5 times. The indicator will flicker. This indicates that the system is working. Flickering will occur at a frequency of once per minute. The doors are not hermetically closed, the key fob will emit 3 beeps, as well as the alarm itself. You need to monitor the inclusion of the security mode.
Creating a PIN 1 code
If for some reason the driver cannot use the key fob, the system can be disarmed using PIN 1. It is set by the vehicle owner independently from 2 or 4 digits. Each code element can be set from 1 to 4.
"Sherkhan Magikar 5", the instruction manual of which is studied by the driver, has a certain sequence of setting PIN 1. The equipment is removed from the blocking mode and the car is opened. The ignition key must be turned to the "ON" position, but the engine does not need to be started. Buttons II and IV are pressed on the key fob. A siren will sound once, and headlights will flash.
Within 4 seconds, you need to press any of the buttons. Her number will be registered to the first digit of the code. The same number of beeps will sound. The remaining digits of the code are programmed in the same way. After the procedure is completed, the system will exit this mode. The siren will sound 2 times, followed by 2 headlight flashes.
Disarming
If you turn off the security mode in a standard way does not work (the key fob is lost, not recognized by the system, etc.), it can be removed using the PIN 1 code. This is a simple procedure that was provided by the developers of the Sherkhan Magicar 5 system. The instruction manual describes this process in detail.
The driver opens the car. At the same time, an alarm siren sounds. It is necessary to turn the ignition key three times from the "Off" position. to the "On" position. The sound will stop.
Within 4 seconds, you need to turn the key as many times as the PIN 1 digit the driver programmed earlier. After entering the first code number, the headlights will flash once. Then the second number is entered. When all the code is entered into the system, the lock will be released. Otherwise, the siren will turn on again.
autorun
The driver, if desired, sets up the autorun function, which is embedded in the Sherkhan Magikar 5 system. The user manual for the key fob allows you to configure this mode. To do this, you need to be near the car, close all doors, turn off the security function.
The driver activates autostart. This function will put the machine in security mode on one's own. If the driver forgets to do this in manual mode, after 30 seconds with auto start on, the alarm will block all systems.
Information about the transition to this mode will be sent to the driver's key fob. To do this, the word Passive must be on the screen.
Every 10 seconds, the device transmits a signal to arm the system. This is very convenient if the driver sometimes forgets to block the car.
Other Useful Features
The Sherkhan Magikar 5 alarm system has many useful functions. The instruction manual will allow the driver to select useful modes for himself.
Silent armed mode transmits an alarm signal only to the key fob of the owner of the car. The burglar thinks there is no alarm in the car. This allows you to take it red-handed.
If the driver has small children, you can turn on the safe ride mode. When the car starts moving, all doors are locked.
There is a turbo timer function. This mode allows the engine to run for some more time even when the ignition key is off and the machine is armed. This is necessary for cars with a turbine. This mode increases the duration of the equipment.
Possible malfunctions
The presented alarm system is recognized as one of the most reliable. Its popularity is explained by the mass of useful functions, which are described in detail by the documentation for the Sherkhan Magikar 5 system - the instruction manual. Malfunctions in this equipment are not excluded.
