Car Alarm Pandora DXL 3000 - a new model of the security complex of the DXL series, brought by the company's engineers to a high level of quality and reliability. Intuitive controls ensure ease of use. The Pandora DXL 3000 alarm system is installed by specialists of service centers involved in the implementation and installation of automotive security systems. Car alarm Pandora is characterized by a high level of reliability and resistance to hacking with the help of code grabbers, scanners and similar devices.
Pandora DXl 3000 Keychain
An advanced keychain with a liquid crystal screen attracts attention. The system, embodied in the Pandora DXL 3000 key fob , is considered one of the most advanced to date. The developers brought certain innovations to the structure of the key fob, returning the end position of the buttons, which improved the ergonomics of the taps and ensured the tightness of the case. The sound confirmation function of pressing notifies the user about each key press of the Pandora DXL 3000 key fob.
The keychain's liquid crystal screen, being its most fragile part, is protected by a silicone damper. A similar protection technology was first used by developers when creating a car alarm radio transmitter.
The damper protects the screen of the Pandora DXL 3000 alarm key fob from shock and extreme loads, while providing a more accurate indicator positioning. The sealed enclosure prevents moisture, dust and dirt from entering, damaging the integrated chip. Complete with an alarm Pandora DXL 3000 comes a small leather case for the key fob, which for many car owners will be a pleasant surprise.
Keyfob Functions
The developers in the new version of car alarms have kept LED indicators that display the state of protection, which is a good and reasonable solution. The user can evaluate the operability of the two-way communication channel: the green indicator indicates the activation of the protection mode, the red indicator indicates the occurrence of an emergency or the need to transfer the car to the protection mode.

Car Alarm Features
The security complex Pandora DXL 3000 is equipped with an advanced version of a multi-channel high-speed radio path. The changes affected the transition during reception and transmission of the signal to free channels, service and working channels were optimized, and adjustments were made to the circuitry of the cabin RF module. Such measures allowed to increase the operating range of the notification channel and the command channel, and increased the stability of the system in the presence of interference.
The developers have optimized the LCD key fob, lowering the level of energy consumption and increasing the life of the batteries. The only drawback of the changes was the incompatibility of the key fobs and RF modules of different alarm models.
Coding algorithms
Signaling Pandora DXl 3000 is characterized by cryptocurrencies of dialog authorization algorithms. Electronic hacking of car alarms is impossible due to the use of a complex encoding algorithm and unique encryption keys. Today, Pandora car alarms are the only security systems that use dialogue coding and two-way communication not only in the main, but also in additional key fobs.
Base unit
In the Pandora DXL 3000 car alarm, the base unit has been redesigned, which is now equipped with ample opportunities for programming timer channels. The main innovation is the introduction of a PIN code to access certain functions and options of the system.
According to the instructions, the Pandora DXL 3000 uses two instead of one PIN: Service-code and Master-code. Using the service code, you can put the system in maintenance mode or enter the programming and settings mode of the security complex. This code is factory, therefore, if desired, the user can change it. The Master-code system allows you to emergency remove the car from security mode. The meaning of this code is indicated on the plastic card supplied with the car alarm.
System Setup
Complete with a car alarm comes a table of commands and statuses that allow you to configure the security complex. This table shows the vehicle code supported by the CAN bus and information that includes all the features of the integrated interface.
Programming a car alarm starts with choosing the make and model of the vehicle and the specific settings of the digital CAN bus. In the “Settings” table, the necessary parameters are selected, after which they are saved and recorded for future use.
If the desired code cannot be found in the table, it is entered manually. After the car code is selected, the system parameters are adjusted.
The maximum functionality of a car alarm is implemented when the following items are resolved:
- Arming mode.
- Disarming mode.
- System management.
- Re-setting.
The car owner can additionally configure other system parameters. All settings are saved in a separate file, which is located in the root folder of the security complex and is available for moving or copying.
Car Alarm Installation
Installation of a security complex can be carried out both in service centers and independently by a car owner. There are several ways to install Pandora car alarms - under the dashboard, in the engine compartment or in the passenger compartment or car body.
When the alarm is installed in the engine compartment, the interlock relay is located near the ignition switch, and an impact sensor is attached to the steering column. To do this, plastic clamps can be used to secure the main parts.
The system control unit when installing a car alarm under the dashboard is mounted in the engine compartment. Between the processes of the duct, a blocking relay is mounted.
The third option for mounting a car alarm involves installing it anywhere in the passenger compartment or car body with an optimal arrangement of all components. The base unit is located either in the cabin or in the back of a car, but the siren is installed under the battery pad. The hood end cap is mounted next to the hood indicator on the right side, and the trunk end cap is installed next to the lock. System wiring is wired after setting the alarm.
Shock Sensor Installation
Impact sensors are installed last. The security complex switch - the Valet button - is positioned so that it is not visible, but at the same time access to it was free. At the same time, there shouldn’t be any electronics next to her that could drown out the signal.
Connecting car alarms to a personal computer
The security complex is connected to a personal computer via mini-USB. The base unit of the system is connected to the PC using the Valet button, and successful synchronization is confirmed by a light indicator.
After connecting the alarm to the computer, the LED starts to glow red-green. For normal synchronization of the complex with a PC, the launch of the software is required - Pandora DXL Loader. After starting the program, you need to enter the service pin code indicated on the card that comes with the alarm.
The code is entered by pressing the Valet key the required number of times, corresponding to each digit of the pin code. The pause between button presses should not exceed one second. If this time is exceeded, such a pause is regarded as a transition to the introduction of the next digit.
The system unit indicator notifies the end of the introduction of each digit and its reception with a red flash. Programming of the Pandora complex begins after the entire code has been entered, which is accompanied by a red and green indicator flashes.
Car Owner Reviews
The Pandora DXL 3000 alarm system is characterized by increased reliability, workmanship and resistance to various hacking methods using code grabbers and similar devices. In the reviews, car owners note a high level of protection provided by the security complex, ease of installation, ease of setup and programming of the system.
