Peugeot 206 key replacement is a simple job that can be completed within a couple of minutes. All you have to do is transfer the electronic components, battery and immobilizer chip of your old key fob to the new one.
Peugeot keyfobs with 206 keys can have a button-cell battery that fails. This video shows how to replace the battery.
The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it transmits an electronic message to the engine management system. The engine won't start if the code is not correct. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert automotive locksmith can help. They can program a new or replacement key by using tools used for dealers. This can help you save time and money. They will also be there for you, so you don't have to wait long at the dealership.
Not all antitheft gadgets are created in the same way. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and evaluates them to ensure they are in compliance with the highest safety standards. They can test the operation of the system by logging into the CAN bus network and analyzing messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.
Even the best systems are vulnerable if they're targeted correctly. In https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/peugeot-car-keys/ , Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in Hitag2's protocol to unlock three cars, all older models. It took only 10 seconds to obtain the security code of the vehicle from one of the three. The information is then used to create a functioning key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break, but they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code on the chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer system the car will start.
This is a crucial anti-theft feature that assists in preventing thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer cannot recognize the key it will not turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars have advanced electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize shifting or rolling security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code each time the key is used, and insert it into the chip of the key. The first code stays in place and every time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's why most stolen cars aren't able start. If your Peugeot starts but then shuts down it's likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a number of electrical issues the reason your car isn't functioning. Our auto locksmiths are able solve these issues. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart Peugeot Key to ensure it works again.

The Battery
Peugeot car keys include transponder chips that when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser system that is located in the ECU (engine control unit). This enables the vehicle to start and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is concealed in the head of the manual or remote key.
The 206 was introduced in 1999 Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205 but it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the more expensive quality 205s.
The 206 model range includes three models: the hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 called the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached an top speed of 210 km/h.
