The replacement of a Peugeot 206 key is a straightforward task that can be completed in just a few minutes. All you need is to transfer the electronic components, battery and immobilizer chip of your old key fob to the new one.
Peugeot key fobs 206 have the button cell battery which can fail. This video will show you how to replace the battery.
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 in the event that the code isn't correct. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for automotive can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working. They can program a replacement or new key with tools that are common for dealers. This can save time and money. You don't have to stand long at the dealership because they will come to you.
However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technology to ensure that it meets high safety standards. They can test the system's functionality by analyzing the messages transmitted between the immobilizer components and the CAN bus.
But even the best systems can be compromised when they are targeted correctly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to crack 3 cars including all models from the past. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the security code of the vehicle from one of the vehicles. The information is used to generate a working key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack but eventually, they were.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to the system of the car the car will begin to move.
This is an important security feature that can stop car thieves from hotwiring or overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars have advanced electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use changing or rolling security codes. This means that each time the key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code and inserts it into the chip within the key. The first code is always in place and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. This is also the reason why the moment your Peugeot starts up and then shuts off again it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be a number of electrical problems that are the reason your car isn't working. Our auto locksmiths can assist you to resolve these problems. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll function again.
The Battery
The transponder chip in Peugeot keys for cars, when used with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser feature within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start and additionally allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a manual or remote key.
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 did not directly replace the 205; rather, 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 developed to take the sales of the more expensive 205s.
The 206 line-up includes three models: one hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of the 206, which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds and attain the top speed of 210 km/h.
