Audi Cobra Trak®
You look forward to sitting in the driving seat of your Audi. Unfortunately, car thieves are just as keen to get behind the wheel!
CobraTrak, fitted as standard to Audi cars, is a high-quality vehicle tracking system recognised by major insurers. It works in several countries abroad and is Thatcham CAT 6 accredited. It is also installed in vehicles manufactured by VW, Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and other major car makers.
The benefits of CobraTrak become clear when you consider that:
- Over 2,700 vehicles are stolen each day throughout Europe
- Over 50% of these vehicles are never recovered
- 85% of stolen cars that were registered after 1997 were stolen using car keys. Keys are mainly gained through opportunistic theft, or more concerning still, through break-ins or carjacking
These facts make for intimidating reading, but you'll be reassured to know that you can act now to protect your Audi. As the owner of such an advanced car, you'll want to give it the highest possible level of security; and that's where CobraTrak comes in.

How Cobra Tracking Systems Work
What happens when my vehicle is stolen?
In the event of a theft alert, the Cobra 24/7 control room will contact the owner of the vehicle. On confirmation by the vehicle owner of an actual theft, the control room will begin tracking and monitoring the vehicle on their control screens and will liaise with the police to help recover the vehicle. All systems provide coverage across Europe.
With CobraTrak Q and Attivo a theft may be reported by the vehicle user or may be alerted by a movement device integral to the device installed in the vehicle.
The device will also alert if the vehicle is taken with no ADR card present. An alert is triggered in the control room and the owner is contacted to verify the theft.
