The Immobilizer System

When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. If the code does not match the code, the engine won't start. This can prevent unauthorised car theft. A professional locksmith for automotive can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer is not working. They can utilize tools from dealers to program a new key or replace your old one. This can save you time and money. They will also visit you so you won't have to spend a lot of time at the dealership.

Not all antitheft devices created to be the same. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure that they meet high safety standards. They can test the system's performance by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer components and the CAN bus.

But even the best systems can be hacked if they are targeted properly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily unlock three cars that were all older models. It took only 10 seconds to extract the security code of a vehicle from one of the vehicles. This data is used to generate an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack, but they did eventually be broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key that is chipped that is also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code in a chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer system, the car will start.

This is a crucial anti-theft feature that assists in preventing thieves from hotwiring or overriding 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 sophisticated electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ shifting or rolling codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code every time the key is used and then insert it into the chip of the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer checks the codes every time the ignition key is turned.

This is a sophisticated technology that is extremely difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles can't start. It's also why if your Peugeot starts and then stops working it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical issues making your car stop working. Our auto locksmiths are able to resolve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key to function again.

The Battery

The transponder chip found in Peugeot keys for cars when connected to the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser mechanism within the ECU. This enables the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob control of the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of the remote or manual key.

When the 206 first came out in 1999 Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205 but it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was to ensure that lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the higher end 205s.

The 206 line-up includes three models: the hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach the top speed of 210 km/h.

The peugeot 206 is a popular choice of car for those seeking an attractive and affordable family car. As with all vehicles there are issues that can arise.
