The Immobilizer System

When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it sends a code electronically to the engine control system. The engine will not start in the event that the code isn't right. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're experiencing issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a reputable locksmith in the automotive industry can help.

Even the best systems are vulnerable if they're targeted appropriately. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily unlock three cars that were all older models. Within ten seconds, a security code of the vehicle was retrieved from one of them. This data is used to generate a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually, they became.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key is also referred to as a Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code contained on a chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer system the car will begin.

This is a crucial anti-theft device that prevents thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key it will not be turned on if anyone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.

Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use changing or rolling codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code each time the key is used and insert it into the chip of the key. The first code remains in place and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if they match.

This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles can't be powered up. It's also the reason that if your Peugeot starts to run but then shuts off again, it's likely not the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical issues making your car stop working.

The Battery

Peugeot car keys contain transponder chips which when coupled with the vehicle, deactivates the standard immobiliser mechanism of the vehicle which is housed in the ECU (engine control unit). This enables the vehicle to start and also allows key fob operation of the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of the manual or remote key.

When the 206 was launched in 1999 Peugeot was facing a lot of competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205; rather, it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive top 205s.

The 206 range comprises three models including an open-air hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated version of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and reach the top speed of 210 km/h.
