Cobra sets out to charm aftersales departments

Vehicle security specialist Cobra is canvassing dealers' aftersales departments to stock its reverse parking aid, ParkMaster.

Distributed in the UK by Vestatec, the system comprises four bumper-mounted ultrasonic sensors, a boot-mounted control unit, warning bleeper and associated wiring.

Cobra says installation is quick and straightforward. Sales manager Dave Thornber points out: “Dealers can add value to the sale of both new and used vehicles by providing customers with a quality product which will protect their investment at a relatively low cost while creating an additional revenue stream.”

ParkMaster creates a detection zone when reverse gear is selected. Its audio signal emits a warning which increases in frequency until the tone becomes continuous at a distance of 30cm.
