The COBRA reprogramming software allows you to easily upgrade your COBRA equipment to the latest firmware. COBRA still offers direct download firmware files and access to the portal software by accessing cobrafiringsystems.com/portal.

Please note that to Upgrade your COBRA Firmware, you will need to use the Wireless Regrogrammer with the COBRA Reprogramming Software.

Instructions to upgrade your COBRA equipment using COBRA Reprogramming Software

Step 1: Download the latest version of the COBRA Reprogramming Software

The COBRA Reprogramming Software, also known as CRS, can be downloaded from https://www.cobrafiringsystems.com/download_crs. 

During the installation process, a warning may be presented that this program has not been checked by Microsoft and may cause harm. This notification is being displayed because the COBRA Reprogramming software has not been signed by Microsoft. The software not being signed does not affect the security of the software, and you are safe to complete the installation.

The installation can be completed by pressing "learn more" followed by  "Run Anyway".

Step 2: Open COBRA Reprogramming software and select current firmware
