2 to 1 status. Cobra 3998 offers protection to doors boot and bonnet with ultrasonic

Thatcham category 1
status
Thatcham
category1 combines alarm and immobiliser to form a complete vechicle security
system so the Thatcham organisation have specifed two products;
Cat 2 to 1 alarm upgrade
or Cat 1 alarm can be fitted to a vehicle with a factory fitted cat 2 immobiliser,
the upgrade is cheaper but the full alarm provides extra security and more features.
Privately imported vehicles that are non UK spec or older vehicles that do not
have a cat 2 immobiliser must be fitted with a full category 1 alarm and immobiliser.
If you have key operated
or remote controlled central locking installed the aftermarket Thatcham alarm
key fob will operate the locks as well as the alarm to give full remote central
locking. Installing a Thatcham alarm to operate from the existing remotes is
possible but will work out more expensive and you lose out on having an extra
set of key fob remotes.
For vehicles that have
electric window closure fitted the new Thatcham alarm remote control will operate
them as before and if you are without window closure it is possible install
a window closure module for around £50 to close windows when the doors are locked.
