CAT2 COBRA IMMOBILISER
Cobra A8510 - Category 2 immobiliser
The Cobra A8510 is a trusted Thatcham Category 2‑approved, dual‑circuit touch‑key immobiliser—a classic but effective anti-theft device designed to secure vehicles that lack built-in immobilisation (like many classic cars) but not only.
What is it?
▬ Dual‑circuit immobilisation: Disrupts two critical circuits (usually ignition and fuel), making the car unfailable by hot-wiring.
▬ Touch‑key operation: Deactivate by placing the included “touch key” against a dash-mounted reader, then start within ~30–60 seconds.
▬ Passive auto‑arming: Automatically reactivates ~30 seconds after ignition is turned off.
▬ LED status indicator: Provides visual confirmation of armed/disarmed state.
