The AK4218 is an upgrade alarm from Cobra which is designed exclusively for Toyota models that have a remote key. It replaces the discontinued AK4147 and is very similar to the brilliant Cobra AK4198. The main difference being is that it works with the Toyota remote rather than a Cobra remote.
The AK4218 Works With The Toyota Remote
The great thing with the AK4218 is how it works. Where other upgrade alarms monitor the vehicle’s central system to arm/disarm, the AK4218 reads the Toyota remote signal. This makes the alarm more user friendly as a second press of the lock button can disable the Ultrasonic sensors, and a third press can disable the optional PIR Sensor, Tilt sensor, Reed switch, or Microwave sensor. Great for those times when you want to leave a window open or take the vehicle on a ferry. for example.
The AK4218 comes with the excellent 4310 waterproof battery back-up siren and supports horn honk, so it is super loud.
The alarm will only work with Toyota models that have a traditional remote key, so if you have a model with proximity locking and push to start, then the AK4615 would be my suggestion. Alternatively, contact me with your vehicle details and I’ll get back to you with some options.
A full list of compatible Toyota models can be found at the bottom of the post.
