overrun Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 So my MR2 has a Cobra CAT 1 fitted. Only one fob has been in use, and yesterday it decided it no longer wants to work (battery is fine). I have a touch key somewhere - lost in house move - and the PIN with fitting certificate, but as I can’t find the touch key, the fobs aren’t playing ball and I’m not the biggest fan of the system to begin with (shit fobs), I am leaning towards unlocking the car with the key, removing and then destroying the siren and having a company come out and fit a Toad or something. The car is at the front of my drive at present, and ideally I need to move it today, or I will no doubt end up blocked in by next door, if I park behind the Toyota. So, questions... What would you do? I favour wrapping the siren in rags and dropping it into a bucket of water. The car will obviously still be immobilised, so I will have to push it up the drive, out of the way. Also, I can’t see there being much demand for aftermarket CAT 1 fitting in 2019. The places I knew of around here have gone, although I think Autosounds in Newcastle still operates in some capacity. Has anyone had a CAT 1 fitted in the last few years? I sway towards something like a Toad, but I dunno, these days?
overrun Posted September 22, 2019 Author Posted September 22, 2019 I guess I could wait and order a new touch key. https://cobracartech.co.uk/cobra-replacement-key-fobs-cases/286-cobra-touch-key--5060719901147.html Unsure is the car needs to be disarmed before you can input the PIN with this. Guess not? I’ll look into it, but I still would like to move it today. My neighbour has a lot of visitors.
overrun Posted September 22, 2019 Author Posted September 22, 2019 Just found touch key lol. In my tool box in my dad’s garage. i had a thought and there it was. Hmmm, this should work out OK.
