Cobra Vehicle Security

Cobra not only meets with the New Zealand standards but exceeds them by complying with the much higher European regulations. If you’re serious about protecting your vehicle, rather than simply getting a product that meets with the NZSA star rating system, then we suggest you look no further.

COBRA AB7928 car alarm/dual immobiliser

With every car alarm on the market claiming to be the best it is hard to know who is telling the truth!

The Cobra AB7928 car alarm comes with ultrasonic sensors as standard, along with a high power digital battery back-up siren. Add on a separate attack proof metal cased immobiliser, linked to the main alarm system via a coded data link wire and you have a new bench mark in vehicle security.

Comparing apples with apples is fine until you throw the impressive specification of the Cobra AB7928 into the equation. Welcome to a vehicle security system which makes no compromises and can actually make a genuine claim to be up there with the best.

Dual circuit immobiliser with attack proof housing

COBRA AK4198 car alarm

Be assured that your vehicle is secure by having a Cobra AK4198 installed. The AK4198 offers you the latest in vehicle security technology, from the advanced digital battery back-up siren that makes most of its competitors efforts look remarkably primitive, to Cobra’s neat ultrasonic which offer the perfect internal protection for cars with window tints (glass break sensors are not effective as the tint film changes the sound when glass is smashed). The Cobra AK4198 should be your 1st choice if you want a remote car alarm system and you’re serious about protecting your vehicle.

COBRA AB3868 upgrade car alarm

The Cobra AB3868 has been developed for cars which already have a factory fitted keyless entry system. Like the other car alarms in the Cobra portfolio the AB3868 comes with an advanced digital battery back-up siren that is simply in a league of its own. Ultrasonic interior protection comes as standard with this high end vehicle security alarm which is the most formidable in its class.

Programmable Features

Selectable chirp volume: Lets you decide how loud your arm/disarm confirmation chips are.
Anti Hijack: With this feature activated it is necessary for the user to enter the first two digits of their pin code within 10 seconds of turning the ignition on. If this procedure is not followed then the siren will sound after 4 minutes. Upon the ignition being turned off the immobiliser immediately prevents the engine from being re-stared. The full pin code is now required to start the car preventing any unauthorised attempts to use your vehicle, even with the keys!

COBRA AK4908 CAN-BUS car alarm

The AK4908 car alarm from Cobra is the answer to the complex circuitry found in many modern cars. Linking up with the vehicles CAN-BUS network the Cobra AK4908 integrates directly with the car's data system allowing it to communicate and operate from the factory keyless entry. The end result is the perfect car alarm system which (despite sounding complex) is very simple to operate. Cobra’s AK4908 comes with ultrasonic sensors and a digital battery back-up siren as standard and is the ideal vehicle security upgrade for most new European and many Japanese cars.

COBRA AC8510 vehicle immobiliser

Designed for vehicles that have no existing immobiliser and where the user doesn't want a full alarm system. The Cobra AC8510 is one of the few Immobilisers in New Zealand with a rugged attack proof security housing. With most NZSA 3 star vehicle Immobiliser systems the weak point of the immobiliser is the housing. With the Cobra AC8510 this is not an issue as it is designed for the far higher Thatcham standards set in the UK.

Drivers Card

Cobra drivers card

With your car having a great alarm system installed you may well become the weak point in your vehicle security.

This is where the Cobra Drivers card comes into play. Every time you start your car it will look for the drivers card which has a range of 3 to 5 metres. If the alarm does not "see" the card within one minute of the car being started, it will block the remote from the system and then set the alarm off. As soon as the vehicle is stopped it then becomes immobilised.

A great way to outsmart the thief who tried to steal your keys!

Note: Don't worry about forgetting your drivers card as you can override this with your unique pin number.

Cobra AK4198 Remote Key

Cobra remote converted to car key

Having studied the new remote on offer with the AK4198 we decided that it would look and function well
if we converted it into a key.

It takes some patient modification on our behalf but we feel the results are well worth the effort.
