Transponder Chips

The majority of Peugeot cars made since 1995 contain a transponder chip inside the car keys. It's a tiny electronic chip with non-volatile memory which is a form of memory that does not require constant energy to store. Along with this there are windings (very fine wires that are wrapped around the tube) like those found in an electric motor. When keys are inserted into the ignition barrel, it sends this information to the Peugeot's immobiliser system. If the correct information is received, then the engine will begin to run.

This makes the Peugeot more difficult to steal from an old-school or novice car theft thief who could attempt to wire it. But it's not 100% secure and even this type of security mechanism can be beaten with the right knowledge.

A professional locksmith will be able to make an alternative Peugeot key with transponder chips. They'll just need to take off the plastic cover from the key fob (which can be done using a screwdriver or pliers). Once this is removed, the locksmith can take out the transponder chip, and then place it on a piece tape before attaching it near to the ignition lock. The locksmith will then attempt to start the car using the keys that have been dismantled. If the chip doesn't work the way it should, it can be relocated.

Immobilisers

Most modern cars have immobilisers included as standard, these prevent the vehicle from starting unless it is powered by an authorised key or key fob. When they are activated by the immobiliser, it sends a unique code to your car's ECU. If this code doesn't match the one stored in the vehicle the ECU will not allow the engine begin and disable the starter motor or fuel pump. motor.

While these are very efficient in preventing theft of cars, they should be maintained from time to interval to ensure that thieves aren't able to find ways around them. For instance, researchers have claimed to hack into security systems, and have had the car running in less than 30 minutes.

Immobilisers that are approved by insurance have to be able to intercept the ignition as well as the fuel system and the starter motor. These types of security are known as class 1 and are the most secure you can find without a full alarm system in place.

They can be reset with an auto locksmith having access to the standard equipment of dealers. They can visit your home or office and cut, program, and provide you with new Peugeot keys before a dealer could do it - at only a fraction of the cost a dealership charges.

Remote Locking Fobs

The majority of the latest Peugeot automobiles come with key fobs that can unlock the doors and even start the engine with one click. This is convenient, but there are some dangers that come along with this technology. Some thieves have found ways to intercept the signal that is sent between the fob and the car thus allowing them access to the vehicle. To combat this, the majority of newer fobs are equipped with security features, like pseudo-random code generation to prevent the same unlocking code from being repeatedly sent.

Modern fobs do more than unlock the car. By pressing a key, they can also lower the windows and even park the car. This feature is especially useful when there's a car who is close to you when parking. Some key fobs feature a panic-button that can be helpful in an emergency. Some experts suggest keeping your car's key fob at the bed so that you can press the panic button in case you hear unusual noises during the night.

If your key fob becomes lost or damaged it may be necessary to get it reprogrammed. You can do this at the dealer, but it's usually much cheaper to get an automotive locksmith to do it for you. We'll get your key fob in shape and working like new in no time.
