However it is true that not all antitheft systems are made equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grade anti-theft technology in order to ensure that it meets the highest safety standards. They test the system's capabilities by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer's components and CAN bus traffic.
However, even the most secure systems can be cracked when they are targeted correctly. In one study, researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to elude three vehicles, all of them older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle's security code was obtained from one of the vehicles. The information is then used to generate a working key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were difficult to crack but eventually they were.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key is also referred to as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on the chip is identical to the system of the car, then the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft device that prevents thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key, the engine will not start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/peugeot-car-keys/ come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ changing codes that roll. This means that every time the key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code, and then pushes it into the chip inside the key. The first code stays in place, and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles can't be powered up. If your Peugeot starts, but then shuts down again it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be one of a myriad of electrical issues causing the car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can solve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work once more.
The Battery
Peugeot car keys include transponder chips that when utilized in conjunction with the vehicle, disables 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 a remote or manual key.
The 206 was introduced in 1999, Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from minivans such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it did 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 the Peugeot 106 and 306 were designed to compete with the higher-end 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models which include the hatchback (206 CC) as well as a cabriolet 2-door coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of the 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve the speed of 210 km/h.
