The Immobilizer System

When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it transmits an electronic code to the engine control system. If the code does not match the code, the engine won't start. This prevents unauthorized car theft. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a skilled locksmith from the automotive sector can help. They can program a replacement or new key with tools that are common for dealers. This will save you time and money. They'll also come to you so you won't have to spend a lot of time in the dealership.

However it is true that not all antitheft systems are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and grades anti-theft technologies to ensure that it complies with the highest safety standards. They are able to test the effectiveness of the system by accessing CAN bus traffic and reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.

However, even the most secure security systems can be hacked in the right way if they are targeted. In one study, researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to stealthily crack three cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to get the security code of a vehicle from one of the three. The information is then used to create a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to break but they did become broken.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip inside that communicates a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to that of the car's system, then the car will start.

This is an essential security measure to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other method. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key the engine won't start even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling/changing security codes. https://www.thekeylab.co.uk/peugeot-car-keys/ means that every time the key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code and inserts it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer is able to check the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

This is an extremely sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is why most stolen vehicles can't be started. It's also the reason why, the moment your Peugeot starts to run but then shuts down it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be one of several electrical issues that are causing the car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can resolve these issues. They can also reprogram chipped or smart Peugeot Key to ensure it works again.

The Battery

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

Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, mainly from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was done so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive top 205s.

The 206 line-up includes three models including one hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated model of the 206, which could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve speeds of up to 210 km/h.

The peugeot 206 is a well-loved choice of car for those seeking an attractive and affordable family car. However, as with all vehicles, issues may occur and result in the inability of the car to start or the key fob to stop working.
