VR6Pete 1,455 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Maybe the alarm needs syncing with your fob. I had to do it with my clifford Club Chairman Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I had a cobra alarm in a car years ago as had the same thing happen once, I just pressed and held and mashed the buttons in every way I could and it eventually synced up an worked again. This only ever happened once and was fine after so I don't remember exactly what I did. Link to post Share on other sites
Crossy 6 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Ok car still not on the road so I spoke to cobra alarms technical division and they have sent me the paperwork which tells you how to sync fobs to all cobra alarms for the past ten years unfortunately for me my alarm was fitted when the car was new and the fobs came pre coded to the car and all the parts for my alarm are now obsolete so I have a guy coming today to remove my old one and fit a new Clifford cat 1system was the only way I can get the car back on the road Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Crossy 6 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pete if you want I can forward the email from cobra so you could make it a sticky? It may help other people because it took me ages to talk to someone who wanted to help Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
