The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. The engine won't start if the code is not correct. TheKeyLab can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're experiencing issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert locksmith in the automotive industry can help. They can use tools that are standard for dealers to create a new key or replace the old one. This can save you time and money. They will also visit you and you won't need to spend a long time in the dealership.
However there are many antitheft systems, and not all are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and evaluates them to ensure they adhere to the highest safety standards. They can test the system's performance by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer's components and the CAN bus.
Even the most robust systems can be vulnerable if targeted properly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in Hitag2 to hack three cars that were all older models. In just ten seconds, the security code of the vehicle was retrieved from one of them. This data is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break but they did get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it that communicates a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to that on the car's system the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft feature that helps prevent thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't permit the engine to turn on even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ changing or rolling codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code each time the key is used, and push it into the key's chip. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer is able to check the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. It's the reason that most stolen vehicles can't be started. If your Peugeot starts but then shuts down again then it's not the immobilizer. Instead, it could be a myriad of electrical issues causing the car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can solve these issues. They can also reprogram chipped or smart Peugeot Key so that it will work again.
The Battery
The transponder chip found in Peugeot keys for cars, when used with the vehicle is able to disable the standard immobiliser feature within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to be started and also allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of a manual or remote key.
The 206 was introduced in 1999 Peugeot was facing fierce competition from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to take sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 range comprises two doors: a hatchback, a coupe cabriolet, as well as the station wagon, which is known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated model of the 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and reach a top speed up to 210 km/h.
