    cobra alarm

    i bought a new car and its got a cobra alarm and immob

    just wondered if anyone has a manual or any info on it

    i have attached picture below of fob and immob key

    at the moment when i arm it its silent can it be altered to chirp

    and if i arm it and press second button it makes a high pitched beep
    whats that mean?

    They should be able to chirp no problem. If you press the second button after the first (within about 30 seconds) it disables the internal ultrasonics, in case ou have a dog or summat in it. If you press it when the alarm is disarmed it usually acts as a panic alarm and sets it off immeadiately.

    not to worry, thats just the panic alarm (bet you did too!) If you get hijacked or summat.
    Best bet for the chirp is to talk to a proper alarm fitter who shouldbe able to tell you if and how you can do it. It is probably a dip switch on the control unit. DO NOT MESS WITH THESE IF THEY ARE THERE!!!!!!!

    i think i have the same alarm on mine, i'll have a word with a mate on mine (alarm installer who fitted it)
    There is a programming mode you can go into where you can tell it how loud to chirp.
    Think its something like leave the bonnet and drivers door open then enter you pin code on the button (button is on the light that flashes) think default code it press once.. wait for one flash then press once more (do this so the code you enter is 1,1,1,1= cobra default)
    for all of these modes to work each sensor wire must be connected to the correct sensor.

    I'll try to get more info.

    Update.....

    Right spoken to him so here goes...

    Open bonnet and drivers door.
    Ignition on.
    Press and hold big remote button till indicators flash then release button.
    keep pressing the big button to turn beep volume up and small button to turn volume down.
    When you get in to the level you want shut the bonnet, indicators should flash for approx five secs.
    Then ignition off.

    It should now be set to the volume you selected.

    ok?

    right, this is what i did
    i checked bonnet switch and is working fine,i tested it by opening bonnet and trying to set alarm and it gave a long beep to say something is open.

    so i left it open and opened the drivers door and switched ignition on and held big button on remote for ages and ages and no indicators flashed?

    i tried several things and the only thing i have come up with is

    if i turn ignition on and off 3 times the led inside flashes but still doesnt do anything on the big button?

    any other help any one?

    Re: cobra alarm

    trigger123 I have a Cobra alarm and manual so I'll dig it out and scan the bit you need, drop me a PM as a reminder though as I know I'll forget. Is it the round remote fob you have the green (ish) buttons, one big one small?
