All our Cobra alarms incorporate a “passive” immobiliser. However, even if you don’t have an alarm you should at least have an immobiliser for minimum protection
An engine immobiliser is a device that will prevent the vehicle from starting. All Cobra vehicle alarms incorporate an immobiliser system. There are also standalone vehicle immobilisers that just prevent the vehicle from starting only. Our range of immobilisers are built to the Australian Standard AS/NZS 4601: 1999
Our immobilisers are accepted and approved by most major insurance companies.
Essentially all immobilisers work the same way and can either immobilise one, two or three separate points in the vehicle. These are usually fuel pump, ignition and starter motor.
All our immobilisers use all black wiring for security.
All immobilisers are “passively” operated meaning that 60 seconds after the vehicle is turned off the immobiliser will self activate. There are two (2) different types of immobilisers. Each has a different deactivation method . These are:-
Two remote control devices approximately 3cm x 2cm are supplied. These are rolling code technology meaning that the coding is changed each time they are used, making it very high security. There is a flashing dashboard warning light (LED) and this system can control central locking if the vehicle has full central locking standard or we can supply and fit a system to your vehicle.
You are supplied with a little tubular device 2cm long and 0.5 cm round. This is usually attached to your key ring and we install a special sensor coil behind the dashboard. As you turn the ignition “on” the sensor reads the tag on your key ring and disables the immobiliser.
After having my wedding photos stolen from my one year old Mazda 3, I was devastated. They broke my window and wrecked my door lock. The car was off the road for four weeks as well. I called Cobra who were very helpful as to the protection that I needed. They arrived on time and were very professional. I can now sleep at night unfortunately I could not replace the photos.

My wife’s 2003 Toyota Corolla was stolen from a shopping centre. She only used the car to go shopping and picking up the children. "I came out and the spot where I left it was empty", she said. The car was not insured and being on one wage it took some time to save up for the replacement car. The new car was fitted with a Cobra Car Alarm after we got it and already someone tried to take it from the station. I am so happy that the alarm and immobiliser saved it, Thank you Cobra.

I wish to express my thanks and recommend Cobra Car Alarms to as many people as I can.
We are a plumbing company in Manly and three weeks ago while I was doing a job someone broke into my Toyota Hi-luxury and stole my factory fitted navigation and sound system. I was only away for a few minutes. They also took my laptop off the front seat with all my appointments in it.
I called Cobra who recommended an upgrade alarm and connected up my tool boxes and it looks like it was factory fitted.
I am a perfectionist and it is brilliant. I should get my replacement GPS from Toyota in six more weeks. I have now alarmed all my work and private cars.
Thanks Mr Cobra.
