It is commonplace when you fill up your car with fuel or loading your trunk when you realize that you left your keys behind. In such a situation, you can either contact your Peugeot dealer or you can request a locksmith from your local area for assistance. A reputable auto-locksmith should have the equipment, technology and machinery required to create an extra Peugeot key right on the spot.

The majority of Peugeot cars manufactured between 1995 and onwards feature a factory-installed immobiliser system that works in sync with a small glass chip that is concealed inside the key casing. The chip contains a complex code that is not able to be copied, and every time you insert the key into the ignition barrel it scans for this code and transmits it electronically to the vehicle's immobiliser system. The fuel supply to the car is cut off if the chip is missing. The engine will not start.

Professional Peugeot locksmiths will be able to make new keys for your vehicle right away and at a fraction of the cost of a dealership.

Car insurance providers often provide coverage for these situations as well, so you can obtain a replacement for your lost or stolen Peugeot keys faster than you think.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are hidden in the car keys of all Peugeot cars manufactured since 1995. It's a miniature electronic chip with non-volatile memories, a type of memory that doesn't require constant energy to retain. Additionally, there's a set of windings (very delicate wires twisted around tubes) similar to those that you'd find in an electric motor. When the key is put into the ignition barrel and the Peugeot immobiliser system gets the information and, if it is correct the engine will be started.

This makes the Peugeot more difficult to steal from an old-school or novice car thief who might attempt to wire it. However, it's still not foolproof and even this type of security mechanism is a possibility to bypass with the right information.

A professional locksmith can design an extra peugeot car key replacement with a transponder. They'll need to remove the plastic cover from the key fob (which is done using the help of pliers or a screwdriver). The locksmith will then remove the plastic cover, and then put the transponder chip onto a piece tape, before affixing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then try starting the car with the key that has been dismantled. If it fails to work the chip can be repositioned before trying again.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers have become standard in the majority of modern cars. They prevent the car from being started without a key or key fob that's authorised. They function by sending an individual code to the car's ECU when they are activated. If the code doesn't coincide with the one found in the vehicle's ECU it will mean that the ECU will not allow the engine to start. It also disables the starter motor as well as the fuel pump.

These systems are effective in preventing car theft but they must be updated periodically so that thieves do not overcome them. Researchers have reported that they can hack the security systems of certain companies and start cars in less than 30 minutes.

To prevent this, insurance-approved immobilisers should be able to block two of the three main components that make a car go; for instance, the ignition system, fuel system and the starter motor. These security systems are class 1 and most secure, without alarm system.

Fortunately, these keys can be reset or reconfigured with the help of an expert auto locksmith who has access to standard equipment from dealers. This means they can come to you at work or home and be able to cut programs, cut and deliver new Peugeot keys weeks before a dealer would be equipped to do this for just a fraction of the cost.

Remote Locking Fobs

The majority of new Peugeots come with key fobs that can be used to open the doors and start the engine by simply pressing one button. This technology is very convenient, but it also comes with a few risks. Certain thieves have discovered ways to block the signal between the fob and the car, allowing them to gain access to the vehicle. To stop this, the majority of modern fobs include security features such as pseudo-random sequence generation that prevents the same unlock code from being transmitted repeatedly.

Modern fobs do much more than just unlock the car, though. With a single push of an electronic key, they are able to also lower the windows, and even park the car. This feature is particularly useful if you're in a parking lot with a fellow driver. Some key fobs come with panic buttons, which could be useful in the event of an emergency. Some experts suggest keeping your car's key fob by the bed so that you can hit the panic button when you hear unusual noises during the night.

If your key fob becomes lost or damaged, you may need to get it reprogrammed. You can do this at the dealership, however it's typically more affordable to hire an automotive locksmith to do it for you. We can have your key fob operational and looking brand new in no-time.
