standard Clio cat 1 alarm what is it

[Liam]

could anyone tell me what make/model the standard cat 1 alarm is what Renault use from standard or when upgrading to cat 1 systems?
e.g Toad, Cobra etc?

I believe its a Cobra but not sure on model.

Hi,

I spoke to my local renault dealers asking about having an alarm fitted to an import 172, and they told me that I would need a Renault Cobra 7895, which, with parts and fitting labour, would be £501.xx.

Whether the Cobra 7895 is the actual one fitted by renault as standard, they didnt say...

Hope this helps,

thanks. Well I just wondered as Ive ordered an upgrade from cat 2 to cat 1 from my renault dealor before I take delivery in a few weeks. £300 fitted using standard key fob.
They also charge £300 to add 6 disc changer.
£200 for diamond brite paint and fabric protection. (Like a permanent wax protector that keeps paint looking better and means you dont have to polish as often) These are justsome of the options they wee offering.
Also £1500 for sat nav.
p.s whats the mobile phone equipment which is an option?

I cant seem to find the details of this Cobra 7895.

We are not sure what to get on ours (delivery hopefully 2 weeks). Seen the Clifford Concept 300 for £300 but doesnt seem to read well from peoples experiences.

Anyone know a website with the 7895 in it ?

Cheers

Simon

The Cobra 7895 is the cat 2 to cat 1 upgrade shown in the Clio accessories brochure, The alarm itself was £143, and it cost me including fitting and vat £297.28 The dealer telling you
£500 is taking the P**s. The Renault part number is 7711219272.

Hope this helps

You say its the upgrade. Our car is an import and thus doesnt have an alarm at all.

What would people suggest is the best to go for ?

Thanks

dont get the 6 disc changer from renault, especially for £300 you could get a headunit+changer that looks and sounds 10x better than the Renault stuff

As an import it comes with a Cat 2 immobiliser as standard, the upgrade using the original key fob gives you a Cat 1 alarm. My car is an import from Belgium so I know this to be true.
