Full description of sky m1 car alarms. Sky Alarm - detailed overview and instruction manual. There is no communication between the key fob and the control module

The choice of security systems designed to protect the car from theft is great today. However, a common man in the street (limited to funds) not all of them are available, but not the Sky alarm.

Despite the impressive list of advantages and a large number of positive reviews, this product belongs to the category of economy class, which means that everyone can afford to purchase and install an alarm issued under this brand (regardless of their financial capabilities).

Wide model range

What can this manufacturer offer to a car enthusiast who has made a bet on it? Only a lot of positive points. The systems presented in the line differ from each other in functional content and characteristics, in particular:

  • one-way communication(this feature of the device is inherent in sky m1, 11, 15, 17 car alarms);
  • feedback (the m5 model can boast of a similar option, unlike the sky m17);
  • auto start motor(to make life easier for the owner of the car, giving him the opportunity to start the engine in certain time(by alarm clock, timer) or under specific conditions (by temperature) may sky m77);
  • range(800 m in line of sight is a clear advantage of the sky m33).
  • gsm module (a permanent favorite in lineup sky is undoubtedly recognized by the Sky gsm car alarm, its already limitless functionality is complemented by the ability to control and monitor through a mobile device).

Today, many systems are equipped with a gsm module (Starline, Pandora, Super agent, Griffin and others). All these brands are also offered to the car enthusiast this function, but it unreasonably raises the cost of a security device at times, sky security systems retain the right to be called a budget product, even if they provide increased comfort.

High level of protection


Another indisputable advantage of the sky m alarm is that regardless of the chosen model of the device and the brand of the car on which it will be installed (be it Lada Granta or Mercedes), it will be able to ensure 100% safety under any conditions.
This fact can be explained by a reliable security barrier (Super KeeLoq Pro II), which can be "built" by using two of the most effective encryption techniques, namely:

  • dynamic code(plus: the combination changes every time you press the button of the control panel - key fob, minus: the algorithm of actions of this system of coding of alarms sky is known to the developer);
  • code D2 (plus: the use of an additional protection measure in the form of assigning an individual law of change to each code, another plus: a combination that can disable the sky m11, 1, 5, 33, 77 and other models of the line without the desire of the owner of the car does not know even the developer).

Fast installation and setup

The benefits have been evaluated, the protection system has been selected. It remains only to solve one question: do we install it ourselves or do we trust the specialists? detailed instructions, included with the kit, saves money by choosing the first option.

An instruction is a kind of guidebook (a textbook that gives maximum useful information on the topic under study). It contains sections on the following points:

  • installation of system elements(recommendations for choosing a location);
  • wiring(detailed diagram illustrating everything in detail);
  • connecting elements(clear sequential algorithm of actions);
  • connection order(specific conditions ensuring stable work security system in the future);
  • programming(linking a keychain, setting modes);
  • operation (rules and tips to avoid malfunctions and extend the life of the device).

The car brand does not play a special role. Do-it-yourself sky alarm installation can be done on any car of domestic and foreign production (for Grant, Toyota Camry, Chevrolet Aveo and other popular models).

High-quality and reliable is not always expensive and unaffordable. Sky alarms are a clear confirmation of this. Attractive price and captivating features in one package - it's very tempting!

The Sky alarm is a universal-type security and anti-theft complex, which allows you to mount and connect it to any brands of cars of foreign and domestic production. The reliability of the security system is ensured through the use of Super KeeLoq Pro II technology, which combines two types of encryption algorithms - dynamic and D2. This allows you to protect an individual password from interception, which the car owner must set independently during the system programming.

Which SKY car alarm model is better to choose?

When buying a Sky security system, you need to take into account the conditions for using the alarm and the car. In accordance with the reviews, it is recommended to take into account the climate in which the vehicle will be used before purchasing. The M line includes the most simple versions in terms of design, characterized by low cost. It is better to give preference to alarms with feedback, they have higher functionality and big amount opportunities.

SKY M1 is a one-way alarm system with ultra-thin ergonomic key fobs, the number of which is not limited to two. If necessary, you can program 4 remote controls.

The security system not only protects important areas of the car, but also provides additional service functions. The key fob can open or close doors, trunk, and if the car is equipped with electric windows, then close the windows at a distance.

Of the functions that can be considered standard, the SKY alarm has Anti-Hi-Jack, the option of silent arming, security mode when the engine is running, and parking search. Connection to the system requires the use of a side light relay. The memory is non-volatile, which makes it autonomous. When the power is turned off, the alarm remembers the preset settings and resumes its functions when the operation is resumed. There is also a memory of activation, the data on the alarm zone is saved. The PIN code is programmed individually by the car owner.

Anti-Hi-Jack is a feature that has proven to be effective. When activated, after 30 seconds, the engine is blocked and the warning system is activated. The car can only be unlocked using a key fob (Valet) and a pin code.

The code cipher is the most frequently cracked object. In the case of this alarm, such hacking is impossible. SuperKeeloq PRO 2 is a dynamic code that constantly changes signals from key fobs that never repeat. Scanner decryption of the code is not terrible, and this ensures reliable protection of the car.

Many companies make cheap security systems with large, uncomfortable plastic key fobs that fail over time. SKY specialists have thought out such a design of the security system controls so that they look presentable and do not break during operation.

Key features

Opportunities that Skye anti-theft systems have:

  1. The option to enable the protection mode when the engine of the machine is running. This will reduce the rapid wear of the power unit when using a car in urban conditions. With short stops, the driver does not have to turn off and start the internal combustion engine every time.
  2. Possibility of calling the car owner. This function is provided by a dedicated button on the transceiver. In the absence of the driver, the passenger can call him at any time.
  3. Work in Jack mode. Its use is relevant when it is necessary to transfer the car to the owner for repair or maintenance. By turning on Jack mode, the car owner will be able to hide the presence of an alarm in the car. The anti-theft complex will be controlled by service options. It is allowed to control the central lock, as well as to transmit commands through additional channels.
  4. The ability to bind to microprocessor device up to four communicators. A handy feature, especially if the car is used by different people.
  5. Some models have the ability to remotely start the engine. The unit can be started at a specific time set by the car owner, on a timer or at a certain voltage in the mains.
  6. Sky GSM alarms allow you to monitor the status of the car and the state of the signaling. The main functions are controlled by means of a mobile gadget - a smartphone or tablet. The main thing is that there is a GSM network in the control area. The range does not matter.
  7. Another possibility is to control the functions of the anti-theft complex using a password. The pin code can be used for emergency shutdown of the signaling. The password is assigned by the car owner.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages specific to Skye car signaling devices:

  1. Two-way communication. This option is available on most models, but one-way signaling can still be found on sale. The presence of the function allows you to monitor the condition of the machine. The key fob screen displays data regarding the protection of the signaling. If an alarm is triggered, the owner will be alerted by sound signals or vibration. The device screen displays information about triggered security zones.
  2. Effective protection of packet data from interception. Thanks to a special coding, which may differ depending on the model, the information transmission channel is reliably protected from hacking. The manufacturer claims that thanks to the use of encoding, no modern scanner and code grabber will be able to hack the device.
  3. Additional functions. Options such as tracking the car via GSM and starting the engine are typical for more modern models. Their use provides greater ease of control and better protection cars.
  4. Affordable price for many consumers. Sky alarms can be bought from 2200 rubles. More expensive options will cost more.

The main disadvantages of the Sky signaling devices include the control panel. The battery installed in the device is quickly discharged, although the manufacturer claims that the communicator has an energy-saving mode. In some reviews, consumers claim that the system works for no reason and reacts to passing vehicles. This is usually due to incorrect setting sensitivity controller. Correct adjustment of the parameters will ensure the correct operation of the system.

How to install?

General map of installation and connection of Skye elements

Signaling Skye installation guide:

  1. First, the installation of the microprocessor device is carried out. The main module is mounted in the passenger compartment of the car; for its installation it is necessary to choose a dry place, protected from the influence of sunlight and prying eyes. The device must not be placed in the engine compartment, as it can be damaged by high temperatures and humidity. Usually the installation is carried out in a free space behind the control panel. Dismantle the plastic trim around the steering wheel and remove the electronic device by disconnecting the connectors from it. To prevent exposure to vibrations, the microprocessor module can be wrapped in foam rubber. It is necessary to install the module so that in case of water ingress on the electrical circuits, the liquid does not flow through the wires inside the case.
  2. The sensitivity regulator is attached to the metal surface of the car body. For fixing, glue or self-tapping screws can be used. Experts recommend placing the device as close to the longitudinal axis of the machine as possible. Do not use spacers between the sensor and the body surface. Their presence will lead to a decrease or increase in sensitivity, which will affect the correct operation of the device.
  3. The siren is mounted in the engine compartment. When choosing an installation site, it must be borne in mind that regular exposure to high temperatures, as well as moisture, will eventually disable it. Therefore, it is impossible to mount the device on the cylinder block; you must choose a place away from the internal combustion engine. The horn of the siren is directed down, to the side or in the direction of the car. Do not place the horn upward as this will cause moisture to build up inside the unit. The siren is positioned so that a potential criminal does not have access to it or to its electrical circuits from under the bottom of the car.
  4. A transceiver is installed in the passenger compartment. Installation is carried out on a flat, grease-free surface; it is best to use a windshield for this. There should be no metal objects or objects near the transceiver electronic devices otherwise, interference may occur. The location of the antenna should not obstruct the view.
  5. The limit switch is installed on the hood of the vehicle. The device should be positioned so that when the hood is closed, an attacker does not have access to it. When choosing an installation site, take into account that exposure to moisture will damage the switch. Therefore, it should be placed where water does not collect.
  6. Wires are laid under the plastic upholstery of the passenger compartment. It is not recommended to lay them near electronic devices or power wires of the ignition system, high-voltage electrical circuits, etc. This will lead to distortion of signals and possible formation of interference when executing commands by the microprocessor unit. Do not lay wires in close proximity to moving parts of the body, this may damage them.
  7. After installation, the microprocessor module is connected to the ignition switch. For correct connection all contacts use the circuit included in the kit. The main processing unit must be connected to the vehicle's lighting devices - side lights or light signaling, depending on the selected light warning method.
  8. After all components are connected, the sensitivity controller is set up. Correct adjustment will avoid problems in its use. For the purpose of tuning, the sensor switch is set to the H position, this will increase the sensitivity of the device, to decrease the sensitivity, the L knob is scrolled. When adjusting, you must periodically tap the body or wheels of the car to select the optimal tuning level.

Channel Baza Autosound in the video told about the mistakes that consumers often make when installing anti-theft systems on their own.

User manual

Main modes control:

  1. To activate the security function, press the padlock button once. This will lead to the closing of the door locks and arming with sound confirmation. Lights will blink. If the car is equipped with electric windows and door closers, then the windows will rise automatically after the protection is turned on. Seven seconds after the signal is given, the status LED will blink at a specified interval. Fifteen seconds after turning on the mode, the shock controller is activated, as well as the microwave regulator, if installed.
  2. To turn off the protection mode, the key in the form of an open lock is clicked. It is pressed briefly once. The siren speaker will beep two sound signal, the lights of the car will blink, all the door locks will open. If, after turning off the protective mode, the user has not opened the doors for thirty seconds, the signaling will automatically activate the repeated protection function. If an electronic trunk lock is installed in the car, then to open it you need to click on the same button. Only it should be held for two seconds.
  3. Silent arming is performed by pressing the crossed out loudspeaker key. The lights of the car will blink once, all door locks will be locked. If equipped with door closers, the power windows will rise automatically. The protection mode will be activated after the LED starts blinking.
  4. The car detection function is activated when the protection mode is on by clicking on the key in the form of a locked padlock. The button is pressed for two seconds, this will cause the lights to blink for fifteen seconds, the siren will start working. To deactivate the mode, the same button is clicked, only now it does not need to be clamped. For the auto detection mode to work without sounds, you need to hold down the key in the form of a crossed-out horn for two seconds. For ten seconds after that, the lights will blink, to turn off the function, the same button is clicked.

Additional options:

  1. The anti-robbery mode is activated when the engine is running or while driving. To turn it on, the driver must press the key in the form of a crossed out loudspeaker on the pager once. The light devices of the car will start blinking, and to transfer the signaling to the security mode, this key is clicked again. Neither the siren nor the lights will emit pulses. Fifteen seconds after activating the option, the engine will automatically shut off. To disable the anti-robbery mode, click the arming key (in the form of a locked padlock).
  2. The call for help option is activated by clicking on the bell key on the pager. The button is pressed once, this will trigger the lighting devices and the siren, the devices will function for 15 seconds. Deactivation of the option is performed by clicking on the bell key.
  3. The mode of reminder about blocking of door locks is activated by clicking on the protection enable button. Siren and optical devices the machines will give a short signal. If the driver has not closed the door completely, the siren will warn the user about this with a triple sound signal.

Possible malfunctions

For convenience, diagnostics of malfunctions in the operation of Sky alarms can be performed using a tester - multimeter.

The alarm does not respond to commands

Often, users face problems after installing the signaling, for example, as a result of installing a microprocessor unit, the siren works without interruption. The signal does not respond to commands sent by the car owner from the communicator.

Algorithm for solving the problem:

  1. Diagnostics of the correct connection of all plugs and connectors is performed. The check is carried out after studying the circuit. Any incorrectly connected connectors are reconnected.
  2. Diagnostics of the correct connection of electrical circuits is performed. If at least one of the contacts is connected incorrectly, then the siren can work without interruption.
  3. The position of the limit switches is diagnosed. Often their incorrect installation leads to the appearance of malfunctions in the signaling.
  4. Diagnostics of the reliability of the connection of the contact elements is performed. All incorrectly connected contacts are reconnected.
  5. Diagnostics of the correspondence of codes between the microprocessor device and the communicator is performed. If the encoding in these devices is different, then they will not be able to exchange packet data when commands are issued. If the encoding does not match, you must define the code.

No siren signals when the alarm mode is activated

When the alarm mode is activated, the alarm siren does not emit audible warning or alarm signals:

  1. The siren is diagnosed, since the cause of the malfunction is often associated with it. If the device has been installed for a long time, it is necessary to visually check its condition, the cause of the malfunction may be an incorrect connection. Perhaps, as a result of exposure to moisture, the contact elements on the power lines for connecting the device have oxidized. Acidification is removed with a brush.
  2. The connection of the electrical circuits connecting the siren and the microprocessor device is checked. For diagnostics, it is better to use a tester, it will help to determine the place of breakage or loss of contact as accurately as possible. In the absence of a multimeter, it is necessary to visually assess the condition of the wiring and check the connectors on the siren and the microprocessor module.

The Odesoftami channel showed the procedure for self-parsing the signaling siren.

There is no communication between the key fob and the control module

A spare pager can be used to diagnose the problem of lack of communication between the communicator and the Sky alarm unit.

If there is no communication between the communicator and the microprocessor device, the algorithm for detecting the cause is as follows:

  1. The battery voltage is diagnosed using a multimeter. With the engine turned off, the voltage must be at least 10 volts. To check, the tester probes are connected to the battery terminals, observing the polarity. 10 volts - a critically low level of charge, when the voltage in the on-board network is such, then the battery must be diagnosed and replaced, even if the alarm is working properly.
  2. The battery terminals are checked for oxidation and rust. Corrosive processes on the contacts will lead to the fact that the battery will not be able to provide the entire on-board network of the machine with the required voltage. Oxidation and corrosion must be removed.
  3. The reason might be a change operating frequency communicator. It will be difficult to independently determine this problem; you can try to re-bind the remote control to the microprocessor device. But keep in mind that when reprogramming the transmitters, information about other devices (if several of them have been linked) will be deleted from the signaling memory.
  4. Diagnose the communicator for moisture penetration into the case. To do this, you will need to disassemble the device into two parts and inspect it carefully. If there are traces of liquid, the device is dried, but for this you cannot use a hairdryer or put the remote control next to the stove. Too high temperatures will adversely affect its performance.
  5. You also need to check the communicator for damage. Contact elements and capacitors on the board must not be damaged, otherwise they will need to be re-soldered. A soldering iron with a thin tip is used for soldering. Sometimes the reason lies in the failure of the spring on the button or the key itself, then the element will have to be changed.

Eugene Irimia spoke about self-repair communicator from the anti-theft complex.

Long siren signal

If, after activating the protection mode, the siren speaker plays a signal for ten seconds, the problem is solved as follows:

  1. Diagnostics of the health of the shock controller is performed. It is necessary to check if the wires are connected correctly and if the contacts on the controller are not oxidized. Oxidation is removed, and incorrectly connected electrical circuits are reconnected.
  2. The sensitivity of the regulator is checked. If it is too high, it must be lowered, we talked about this above.
  3. Diagnostics of the diode lamp or sensor on the controller is performed.

Door locks won't close

If, after activating the security mode, the door locks do not close, the problem is solved as follows:

  1. Diagnostics of the solenoid condition is performed. Over time, these devices wear out and fail. It makes sense to check the solenoids if one of the doors does not work.
  2. The correctness of the electrical connection is checked. If the signaling does not work immediately after installation, most likely, errors were made during the connection. It is necessary to study the connection diagram.
  3. The safety devices are checked for proper functioning. If the part is out of order, this may be due to incorrect connection of electrical circuits or the use of fuses that do not correspond to the rating. It is necessary to replace the devices and find out the reason why they burn out.

SKY M1 car alarm is quality for a reasonable price.

SKY M1 is a one-way alarm system with ultra-thin ergonomic key fobs, the number of which is not limited to two. If necessary, you can program 4 remote controls.

The security system not only protects important areas of the car, but also provides additional service functions. The key fob can open or close doors, trunk, and if the car is equipped with electric windows, then close the windows at a distance.

Of the functions that can be considered standard, the SKY alarm has Anti-Hi-Jack, the option of silent arming, security mode when the engine is running, and parking search. Connection to the system requires the use of a side light relay. The memory is non-volatile, which makes it autonomous. When the power is turned off, the alarm remembers the preset settings and resumes its functions when the operation is resumed. There is also a memory of activation, the data on the alarm zone is saved. The PIN code is programmed individually by the car owner.

Anti-Hi-Jack is a feature that has proven to be effective. When activated, after 30 seconds, the engine is blocked and the warning system is activated. The car can only be unlocked using a key fob (Valet) and a pin code.

The code cipher is the most frequently cracked object. In the case of this alarm, such hacking is impossible. SuperKeeloq PRO 2 is a dynamic code that constantly changes signals from key fobs that never repeat. Scanner decryption of the code is not terrible, and this ensures reliable protection of the car.

Many companies make cheap security systems with large, uncomfortable plastic key fobs that fail over time. SKY specialists have thought out such a design of the security system controls so that they look presentable and do not break during operation.
