The chip contains a sophisticated code that cannot be copied, and thekeylab every time you insert the key into the ignition barrel, it scans for this code and sends it electronically to the vehicle's immobiliser system.

Transponder Chips

Transponder chips are hidden in the keys to cars of most Peugeots manufactured since 1995. It's a miniature electronic chip that contains non-volatile memories which is a kind of memory that doesn't require constant energy to keep. Additionally, it has a set of windings (very fine wires wrapped around tubes) like those that you'd find in an electric motor. When the key is put into the ignition barrel, the Peugeot immobiliser system will receive the information and, if it is correct, the engine will start.

This makes the Peugeot more difficult to take from a novice car thief who might be attempting to hot wire it. It's not foolproof, and even this kind of security device can easily be bypassed if you have the right skills.

A professional locksmith can create a spare Peugeot with transponder. They'll have to remove the plastic cover from the key fob (which can be accomplished using either pliers or screwdrivers). The locksmith will then remove the plastic cover and put the transponder chip on an adsorbent piece before attaching it to the ignition lock. They will then be able attempt to start the car using the dismantled key. If the chip does not work the way it should, it can be relocated.

Immobilisers

Nearly all modern cars have immobilisers built-in to them, these prevent the car from starting unless it is powered by an authorised key or key fob. When they are activated the immobilisers transmit an unicode code to your car's ECU. If the code doesn't coincide with the one found in the vehicle's ECU then the ECU won't allow the engine to start. It will also disable the starter motor and fuel pump.

These systems can be effective in preventing car theft but they must be maintained regularly to ensure that thieves are unable to get around them. For instance, researchers have claimed to be able to hack into some security systems and thekeylab get a car started in under 30 minutes.

To prevent this, insurance approved immobilisers have to be able to shut down two of the three major components that make a car go; that is, the ignition system and the starter motor. These security systems are class 1 and most secure, without alarm system.

The keys can be reset using an auto locksmith with access to the standard equipment of dealers. This means they will visit you at work or home and be able to cut, program and hand over new Peugeot keys weeks before a dealership would be equipped to do this - and for just a fraction of the cost.

Remote Fobs for Locking

This is convenient, however there are some dangers that are associated with this technology. Some thieves have found ways to interfere with the signal between the fob and the car which allows them to gain access to the vehicle. To combat this, most modern fobs have security features like pseudo-random sequence generation, which prevents the same unlock code from being transmitted repeatedly.
