Transponder Chips

It's a tiny electronic chip that has non-volatile memories, a type of memory that does not require constant energy to keep. Additionally, there's a set of windings (very fine wires coiled around a tube) similar to the ones found in an electric motor. When a key is inserted in the ignition barrel, it transmits this information to the Peugeot's immobiliser system. If the correct information is received, the engine will start.

The locksmith will then remove the plastic cover and then place the transponder chip onto a piece tape, before affixing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then attempt to start the car with the keys that have been dismantled. If it doesn't work it can be repositioned before trying again.

Almost all modern cars now have immobilisers included as standard which prevent the car from starting until it is powered by a authorised key or key fob.
