Even when using your Cobra 8165 Alarm System we would suggest the following additional precautions:l Avoid leaving valuable belongings in the car particularly if they are on view. l Never leave Registration or Insurance Documents in the car. l Never leave spare keys in the car. l Always try to park in a well lit and safe area.

    PIN Code
    Each Cobra 8165 Alarm System has a unique PIN code which can be used for Emergency Disarm and is required, together with one of the emergency override touch keys, for programming replacement or additional radio keys. Your PIN code is given on the card supplied with your Cobra 8165 Alarm System together with the serial number of the system itself. Please keep this card in a secure place - not in the car - and also make a note of these numbers for any second drivers use. Without the PIN code and emergency override touch key no additional or replacement radio keys can be programmed into the system.
