Peugeot 206 Key Replacement

Peugeot 206 key replacement is a simple task that can be completed in just a few minutes. All you need is to transfer the electronic components, battery and immobilizer chip from the old key fob to the new one.

Peugeot keyfobs in the 206 series can have a button-cell battery that fails. This video demonstrates how to replace the button cell battery.

The Immobilizer System

When you turn on and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code does not match the code, the engine won't start. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. An expert automotive locksmith will be able to assist you if the Peugeot immobilizer is not working. They can program a new or replacement key using tools that are used for dealers. This will save you time and money. They will also visit you so you won't have to wait long in the dealership.

However there are many antitheft systems, and not all are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they adhere to the highest safety standards. They are able to test the functionality of the system by accessing the CAN bus and then reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.

But even the best security systems can be hacked if they are targeted properly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in Hitag2 to hack three cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to get the vehicle security code from one of the vehicles. This data is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack but they did break.

The Immobilizer Chip

A key that is chipped (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it that transmits a password to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on a chip matches that of the car's immobilizer system, the car will begin.

This is an important anti-theft feature that helps prevent car thieves from hotwiring or otherwise bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it won't permit the engine to start even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with modern electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ changing or rolling codes. The intelligent system can change the second code every time the key's used and then insert it into the chip of the key. The first code stays in place and each time the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if the two codes match.

This is a very sophisticated technology that's difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles can't be started. If your Peugeot starts, but then shuts down again then it's not the immobilizer. It could be a number of electrical problems that are making your car stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths can help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key to function again.

The Battery

Peugeot keys for cars contain transponder chips that, when used in conjunction with the vehicle, disarms the standard immobiliser system located within the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is concealed in the head of the remote key or manual.

Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, mainly from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/peugeot-car-keys/ was to position it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the higher top 205s.

The 206 range comprises three models: an open-air hatchback (206 CC) as well as a cabriolet 2-door coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach a top speed up to 210 km/h.
