CAN I USE A COBRA OR OTHER MANUFACTURER’S BLUETOOTH HEADSET FOR HANDSFREE TALKING WHILE USING THIS PRODUCT?
Yes you can. The Cobra Tag uses a different Bluetooth communication link than the headsets (called serial port profile) so they can both work together.
WHY IS THIS BETTER THAN THE ZOMM?
For a bunch of reasons. The four primary reasons are:
a. Two way alarms powered by the Cobra Tag App.
b. The unique finder feature allows you to alarm either the Cobra Tag or the Smartphone by pushing a button on the other.
c. One week of battery life!
d. You can continue to use your favorite Bluetooth headset or in-car system even when Cobra Tag is connected to your phone and protecting your valuables.
