While tracking stolen cars, Coyote showed an instinct for how a radar warning specialist is reinventing himself

This is the story of a small French startup born in a garage in the 16th arrondissement of Paris in 2005. Founder Fabien Pierlot is a young engineer with a passion for cars. “A history of success French and Ile-de-France,” sums up, not necessarily impartially, Stéphane Courtelin, current Product Director. At that time, the Coyote System quickly became the great leader in the radar warning market with over 70% of sales, far ahead of Inforad and Wikango, which have faded into the dustbin of history.

The rest after this announcement

Why Coyote? “Coyote is smart, he lives in packs and warns himself,” sums up a representative of the company, which today has 1.5 million regular users, 70% of whom are in France. A real road community, active and close-knit, but which could have disappeared in 2011. Road traffic victim associations are surprising. Claude Guéant, then Minister of the Interior, wanted to ban radar warning devices. Coyote, who then puts his survival on the line, organizes a stunning lobbying campaign and saves his own skin.
