The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. If the code does not match, the engine will not start. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a reputable locksmith in the automotive industry can help. They can utilize tools from dealers to program a brand new key or replace the old one. This can save both time and money.

Not all antitheft devices are created in the same way. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technologies to ensure that it complies with the highest safety standards. They are able to test the operation of the system by accessing the CAN bus and then reading messages that the immobilizer components exchange.
Even the most robust systems are vulnerable if they're targeted correctly. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer protocol to elude three vehicles which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of the vehicles. This data is used to create an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to break, but they did eventually get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip inside that transmits a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code matches that on the car's system, then the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft feature that assists in preventing car thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it will not allow the engine to turn on, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use changing or rolling security codes. The intelligent system can change the second code every time the key's used and insert it into the chip of the key. The first code stays in place when the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they're compatible.
This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars can't be started. It's also why when your Peugeot begins to start but then shuts down, it's likely not the immobilizer. It could be a number of electrical issues causing your car to stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths are able to solve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key to work once more.
The Battery
Peugeot car keys include the transponder chip that, when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disarms the standard immobiliser system inside the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob access to the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of the manual or remote key.
Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were developed to take sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models including an open-air hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi, which did 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and an top speed of 210 km/h.
