The Immobilizer System
When you turn on and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code doesn't match the code, the engine won't start. This can prevent unauthorised car theft. An expert automotive locksmith can assist you if your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working.

However there are many antitheft systems, and not all are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technology to ensure that it complies with the highest safety standards. They can test the system's performance by analyzing the messages transmitted between the immobilizer components as well as CAN bus traffic.
However, even the most secure security systems can be hacked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to hack three cars, all older models. In ten seconds, the security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of them. The information is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to break but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to that of the car's system the car will begin to move.
This is a very important anti-theft device that blocks car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it won't permit the engine to start regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use rolling/changing security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code every time the key is used, and insert it into chip of the key. The first code is a permanent one and the immobilizer checks the codes every time the ignition key is turned.
This is a very sophisticated technology that's difficult to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. If your Peugeot starts and then stops it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical issues making your car stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths can help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work once more.
The Battery
Peugeot car keys include a transponder chip which, when utilized in conjunction with the vehicle, disarms the standard immobiliser mechanism of the vehicle that is located in the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to be started and additionally allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of the remote key or manual key.
Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the higher top 205s.
The 206 model range includes three models that include one hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of the 206, which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed up to 210 km/h.
