The Immobilizer System
When you turn on and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. The engine won't start when the code isn't correct. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a professional locksmith from the automotive sector can help. They can program a new or replacement key using tools that are used for dealers. This can save time and money. You won't have to wait long at the dealership because they will be at your location.
However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure that they comply with high safety standards. They test the system's capabilities by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer components and CAN bus traffic.
However, even the most secure systems can be hacked in the right way if they are targeted. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily break into three vehicles including all models from the past. It took only 10 seconds to extract the security code of a vehicle from one of them. This information is used to generate a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack however they did eventually be broken.

The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on a chip matches the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft measure that prevents car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key the engine won't start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize shifting or rolling security codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code each time the key is used, and then insert it into the key's chip. The first code stays in place when the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a very advanced technology that is extremely difficult to hack. This is why most stolen vehicles can't start. It's also why you might notice that if your Peugeot starts up and then stops working it's not likely to be the immobilizer. Instead, it could be one of a variety of electrical issues that are causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths are able solve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work again.
The Battery
The transponder chip that is found in Peugeot car keys when connected to the vehicle disables the immobiliser feature within the ECU. This enables the vehicle to start and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of the remote key or manual.
When the 206 was launched in 1999, Peugeot was facing fierce competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive top 205s.
