It's happened for the best of us - you're refilling your car at a petrol station or removing your shopping from the trunk when you realize you've left your keys at home. In such a case, you can either call your Peugeot dealer or ask a local locksmith for help.

The fuel supply to the car is cut off in the event that the chip is not present. The engine won't start.

Transponder Chips

The majority of Peugeot cars built since 1995 include a transponder chips in the car keys. It's a miniature electronic chip that has non-volatile memories which is a kind of memory that doesn't require constant power to maintain. In addition, there is windings (very fine wires that are wrapped around a tube) like those you'd see in an electric motor. When you insert a key into the ignition barrel, it will send this information to the Peugeot's immobiliser and if the correct information is received the engine will start.

This makes it difficult for a novice car burglar to wire a Peugeot. But, it's not foolproof and even this type of security system can be beaten with the proper knowledge.

A professional locksmith can create an alternative Peugeot key that has transponder chips. The key fob will need to be removed (using pliers or a screwdriver). Once the cover is removed the locksmith can take out the transponder chip. They can then put it on a piece of tape before securing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then attempt to start the car using the key disassembled. If it is not working, the chip can be moved and tested again.

Immobilisers

Nearly all modern cars have immobilisers included as standard which prevent the vehicle from starting unless the vehicle is powered by an authorized key or key fob. When they are activated the immobilisers transmit a unique code to the car's ECU. If this code doesn't match the one stored in the vehicle the ECU won't allow the engine begin and stop the starter or fuel pump motor.

These systems are effective in preventing theft of cars, but they need to be maintained regularly to ensure that thieves are unable to overcome them. For example, researchers have claimed to be able to hack into security systems and get an automobile started in less than 30 minutes.

To counter this, insurance-approved immobilisers have to be able to shut down two of the three primary components that make a car run; specifically, the ignition, fuel system and the starter motor. These kinds of security are called class 1 and are the most secure you can get without having an alarm system in place.

They can be reset with an auto locksmith who has access to dealer-standard equipment. They can come to your home or office and cut programming, cut, and give you new peugeot key fob keys prior to a dealership being able to complete the task - for only a fraction of the cost dealers charge.

Remote Fobs to Lock

The majority of new Peugeots have key fobs which can be used to open the doors and start up the engine with just one button. This technology is very convenient however it has its own risks. Some thieves have discovered ways to intercept the signal sent between the fobs and the cars, allowing them access to the vehicles. To stop this, the majority of modern fobs include security features like pseudo-random sequence generation that prevents the same unlock code from being sent repeatedly.

Modern fobs do more than unlock your car. With a simple push of a button, they can also lower the windows and even park the car. This feature is especially beneficial if you have a driver in close proximity to you when parking. Some key fobs feature the panic button, which can be useful in the event of an emergency. Some experts recommend keeping your car key fob near your bed to activate the panic button if you hear unusual noises in the night.

If your key fob is lost or damaged, you may need to get it reprogrammed. This can be done at the dealer, but it's typically more affordable to have an automotive locksmith handle it. We'll have your key fob looking and working like new in no time.
