The Immobilizer System

When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic message to the engine management system. If the code does not match the code, the engine won't start. This helps prevent unauthorized car theft. If you're having problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a reputable locksmith from the automotive sector can help.

Not all antitheft devices are made equally. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they are in compliance with the highest safety standards. They test the system's functionality by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer's components as well as the CAN bus traffic.

However, even the most secure systems can be compromised when they are targeted correctly. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to stealthily crack three cars which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle security code was retrieved from one of the vehicles. This information is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually, they became.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key that is chipped (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip is identical to that on the car's system, then the car will start.

This is an important anti-theft feature that helps prevent thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key it will not start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.

The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use shifting or rolling security codes. This means that every time a key is used, the smart system changes the second code before pushing it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is a very sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. It's also why when your Peugeot starts up and then stops working it's not likely to be the immobilizer. Instead, it could be several electrical issues that have caused the car to stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths are able to help solve these issues. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart Peugeot Key so that it will work again.

The Battery

The transponder chip that is found in Peugeot car keys when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser mechanism within the ECU. This enables the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob control of the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of the remote key or manual.

When the 206 was first introduced in 1999, Peugeot was facing stiff competition from minivans such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. The lower models of both Peugeot 306 and 106 were designed to take the sales of the more expensive 205s.

The 206 line includes an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, and a station wagon known as the 206 C and 206 SW, respectively. There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had a top speed of 210 km/h.
