Car alarm "Pandora DXL 5000": description, features, installation and reviews

"Pandora DXL 5000" is the signaling of the highestclass, which was able to combine almost all the latest achievements and innovations in the field of protection against car theft. It is quite self-sufficient, because it has on its board an arsenal of all the necessary components for guaranteed confrontation to qualified scammers and hijackers.

You can also add reliable communication withThe owner of the security system, which is available at any time and in any place. And as another indisputable plus of signaling, we safely add warranty service for five years.

Pandora DXL 5000 System Management

Two-way alarm Pandora has a verya wide choice of control methods, which are deprived of many similar and competing products: contactless tags, smartphone, smart clock, keychain and other immobilizers. Manage all this (disarm, start / shut down the engine, etc.) can be from any smartphone, as well as through a personal cabinet on a special service site. Naturally, the whole process of "communication" with the alarm goes through password systems and access points.

Designers "Pandora DXL 5000" have developedA special application for "Android" and "apple" devices, allowing in tandem with the immobilizer, it is easy to manage with alarm. The keychain with feedback has a "long-range" frequency of 868 MHz, it is equipped with a thick glass of special materials on a mineral basis, which will prevent dust from entering the system and protect it from impact.

Trinket

In general, the instruction to the Pandora DXL 5000 states thatthe system is considered "skinless", but numerous appeals and feedback from the owners have done their job, and the manufacturer has kept the key rings for those who are comfortable with this method of management.

Other ways to manage

As an optional security optionThe system can be equipped with an innovative and rather interesting way of management - "smart clock" RW-2. Complete with the main components, they do not go, so they will have to be purchased separately from the device "Pandora DXL 5000". The operating manual also notes that since the generations of previous generations, wireless tags have significantly decreased in size, allowing the owner to more widely use them.

Duplication

The peculiarity of the signaling system "Pandora" isduplication of basic functions in approximately the same way as it is implemented in aviation - each more or less important detail (cellular communication channel, wireless engine blocking, etc.) has its own double, and sometimes the third version in case of failure or system failure, that unlikely.

The alarm system "Pandora DXL 5000" is equipped with a slotfor a sim card that is responsible for receiving signals from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet) to perform a number of functions such as starting the engine, opening doors and other owner commands. Also with its help the owner receives all the data that relates to his car: engine temperature, alarm messages, listening to the saloon, the rest of the fuel in the tank, etc.

GPS Tracker

The first SIM card is duplicated by a backup copy inautonomous GPS-tracker type NAV-04. This device is also included in the alarm system "Pandora DXL 5000", is even more secretive, unlike the main unit, and is not directly connected with it. The message is possible only through encrypted transmission at a frequency of 2.5 GHz.

At the moment of car movement the tracker performsfunctions of the satellite receiver, analyzing the incoming data on the location of the object. All the incoming information can be viewed both in real time and through a database that is maintained for a very long time on the servers of the manufacturer. Remote control interface is understandable and convenient, and a simple user to understand it will not be difficult. The method of control is carried out through the site or through a special mobile application. There you can also carefully configure the interface, there is a detailed instruction manual and the ability to leave your wish and feedback.

Car alarm Pandora DXL 5000 at an attemptTheft activates first the central unit, sending a short message from the SIM card to its owner. In the event that the hijackers were able to neutralize the central unit of the device, removed it or even disconnected the car battery, then the tracker then switches to the autonomous mode of operation from its built-in power source and its SIM card, transmitting signals to the owner with the exact coordinates to which you can find a car.

Radio relay

Dubbers also have locking systems that are notwill let the engine start when the car is stolen. Car alarm Pandora DXL 5000 (New, Pro, Classic) is equipped with two sub-hood modules, that is, a pair of radio relays - RHM-06 as main and RR-100 as an additional.

Relays receive instructions from the main modulesystem and just like the tracker, are not connected to each other by wires, "communicating" only over the encrypted digital channel in the radio frequency of 2.5 GHz. There is no need to pull any wires under the hood, as it was with previous generations of car alarms. In the new "Pandora DXL 5000" installation instructions indicate that no holes in the engine board for wiring are bored and track the radio modules by wires (which are not) - it is impossible.

Both radio relays perform approximately the same protective functions, and in view of the fact that they are completely independent and spaced apart in different parts of the alarm system - this will double the problem for the hijackers.

Protection against jamming

Use in modern car alarmssirens causes more and more negative disputes and attendant problems. By themselves, sirens - as a means of preventing theft - have been abolished by long-range key fobs with feedback, and even later they have been abandoned altogether, - cellular communication channels have appeared. Instead of a loud siren, which sometimes wakes up half a block, the system will personally inform the owner of the car of problems or other hazards.

But progress does not stand still and the downsidealways, sooner or later, will make itself felt. Practically in any radio shop or on the Internet, you can find devices that can suppress the GSM signal. Such gadgets have become a real phobia among owners of this kind of alarms. Indeed, similar security systems based on cellular reception are extremely vulnerable to this kind of "jamming", thereby denying the possibility of signaling the possibility of sending any ping to its owner.

Communication channel protection

But this case does not apply to the system"Pandora DXL 5000" - to protect against this kind of attacks, the alarm system is equipped with an additional guard function, which is called - "control of the communication channel." It does not operate according to the usual algorithm: "there was an alarm - sending SMS", but on the contrary - the alarm system periodically sends small packets of information to the Pandora server, showing that it is "on-line" and there are no problems. And when the attackers launch a jamming system, the system loses connection with the servers and begins to inform the owner about the threat that has arisen.

Such a bilateral regime, although it requires somecosts for cellular traffic, but it is relevant only in roaming - in the home network, the channel support does not require any expenses and is about 1-2 rubles a day.

Smart watch

"Smart Watches", or Smart watch, is prettya promising direction for today in the gadget market. Such a device works, as a rule, in synergy with a smartphone, acting as a multimedia assistant. The headset, in fact, is a quick access display, which reflects the main events and much more. In tandem with car alarm this gadget is for the first time.

Watch RW-02, designed specifically for the "Pandora"DXL 5000 "(price within 10 thousand rubles) are not included in the basic set of car alarms, so you need to purchase them separately. The software of the gadget is constantly updated and overgrown with a new functional set, but the main areas of work are unchanged:

• An alternative to wireless tagging. Having with you a watch and a smartphone, take an immobilizer with you, and also a key from the ignition lock is no longer necessary: ​​everything is started by pressing the "Start / Stop" button.
• Function "local navigator" for parkingcar. Now, thanks to the built-in cellular receiver "smart clock" remember the place where you left your car and if necessary will lead you to the car speaking as a compass - which is extremely convenient in some cases;
• The watches are comfortable stylish and well-protected.

Users especially speak warmly of the built-in compass navigator, especially this feature works in large parking lots with hypermarkets or entangled multi-level parking lots.

The watch has a smart monochrome display, but assuch a multimedia gadget are not, so you will not find in them such seemingly familiar things for Smart-devices like touch controls, video reviews or a convenient chat, - energy saving is in the first place. "Smart watch" for "Pandora" is very important to work as long as possible on one battery, and do not ask for an outlet every day, as do other "smart" brethren.

Car alarm installation Pandora DXL 5000

Self-management of such a modernsignaling as "Pandora" is almost unreal, so do not be surprised that most even the most advanced installation services will not be able to help you in this matter.

Install the DXL 5000 system onlycertified units (companies, installers), that is, those who were accredited by the alarm manufacturer - Alarm Trade. The system adapts and works only with a specific car in the online mode, so the entrance and further access to all the functionality, and hence the alarm setup for the owner, is exclusively from a certified and approved by the company master.

Many users express dissatisfaction with theirreviews such a strict system of control and selection of specialists, but the company explains its actions by some facts. Installation of Pandora car alarm requires the skills of a highly skilled craftsman and is significantly different from the installation of similar and competing devices, therefore, in order to save its customers from poor quality installation of such an expensive premium system, the company decided to limit the number of installers by entering strict accreditation. This initiative, although it hinders the growth of sales, but maintains the reputation of the company.

Total we get that in such large cities,as St. Petersburg and Moscow, services approved by the manufacturer, where there are relevant masters can be found only two and four respectively.

Price

The cost of car alarm "Pandora" series 5000 on the official website of the manufacturer varies within 30 thousand rubles. For installation it will be necessary to pay about 8-10 thousand rubles.

To enhance the protective characteristics of your carHere you can add the cost of one or two electromechanical locks for the hood and the price of their installation. Agree that having in its arsenal such a powerful defense system as "Pandora", it would be unreasonable to leave an attacker with an extra loophole in the engine compartment, where the gearbox and engine blocking modules are located.
