Mechanical Keys

Peugeot's mechanical car keys work in conjunction with the immobiliser. When you insert a mechanical key into the lock barrel, the transponder chip in the key sends an electronic signal to the vehicle to confirm that it is being properly entered. The signal is interpreted by the immobiliser system and when everything is in order, the engine will start.

The microchip in the key's hidden is encrypted by a complex code which can't be overridden or penetrated, and it doesn't require any kind of power source. The immobiliser system cuts off the supply of fuel to the engine in the event that a defective chip or a stolen one is found. Your Peugeot will not start.

Transponder Keys

Many Peugeot models are equipped with a transponder which improves the security of your car. This means that you cannot start your car if you don't have the right key.

A professional locksmith can program the new transponder. The locksmith will have the necessary equipment to program your transponder key and it's typically less expensive than visiting a dealer.

A computer reads the information from your immobiliser to create the new transponder. The information is then transferred onto the new chip that is in your key. Once the new key is programmed it can be used to start your Peugeot car.

There are various types of transponder keys for Peugeot cars. These include regular transponder keys, FOBIK chips as well as proximity smart keys. All of these can be replaced by an auto locksmith. If you have one of these keys, it's always best to have a spare just in case you lose or lose the original.

Remote Fobs for Locking

Modern cars are equipped with a remote locking fob (often known as a key fob) that has buttons for unlocking trunk and doors, or remotely starting your car. Keys like these can also be called remote transponder or keyless entry systems. They transmit a code each time you press their buttons. If you lose your key fob or the battery is dead it's time to purchase and program an alternative.

You can find a locksmith who specialises in your specific brand of vehicle. Some dealers will not program new fobs for keys until you have proof of ownership or registration. Some online retailers will have key fobs programmed to be delivered to your door, though you'll still need to learn how to replace the old battery inside the fob.

In the ideal scenario you could trust your local auto dealer to sort out any problems with the key fob- that is, if you have the time and money to pay for it. Luckily, there are car locksmiths who can work with the latest peugeot boxer key models to create spare keys and reprogram the key fob. They can do this at a cost that is far more affordable and practical than the price you pay at the dealer. These experts on the road are able to work with multiple car brands, unlike other locksmiths.

Keyless Entry

The Peugeot car key fob is a great feature, but it can be costly to replace if it is lost. The key fob could be used as an remote control to open the car door and even start the engine in some cars. The key fob, usually made from metal, has a small display screen that has buttons. It also has a key that emits an immobiliser-readable code that it recognizes as the appropriate code to allow the car to be started.

The cost of replacing a fob is contingent on the type of key that your vehicle uses. Older mechanical keys can be copied from a an hardware store for less than $10 however, newer smart key fobs will need to be purchased from a dealer and connected to your vehicle, which could be expensive up to $200.

Most locksmiths can cut standard keys for Peugeots provided that you know the year and make of your car and can prove ownership (registration or title will suffice). The process of duplicating keys involves positioning the original key on the opposite side of a machine where the key guide keeps both keys in line. The machine then shifts both keys simultaneously using a specialized cutting tool to create a copy which matches the original.

Peugeot spare keys that do not have transponder technology or smart technology must be programmed to activate the immobilizer. The dealer or automotive locksmith can do this, based on your Peugeot model and its specific coding specifications.
