Peugeot 206 Key Replacement

Peugeot 206 key replacement is a simple job that can be completed in just a few minutes. You will only need to transfer the immobilizer chip, battery and electronic components from your old keyfob to the new.

Peugeot 206 keyfobs can have the button-cell battery fails. This video shows how to replace the battery.

The Immobilizer System

When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it transmits a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code does not match, the engine will not start. This prevents unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for cars can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer is not working. They can utilize tools that are standard for dealers to program a brand new key or replace the old one. This can save both time and money. They will also visit you and you won't need to spend a long time in the dealership.

However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are designed to be equally effective. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure that they adhere to the highest safety standards. They are able to test the effectiveness of the system by logging into CAN bus traffic and reading messages that the immobilizer components exchange.

But even the best systems can be hacked in the right way if they are targeted. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in Hitag2's protocol to crack 3 cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the security code of the vehicle from one of them. This data is then used to create a working key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were difficult to crack but eventually, they became.

The Immobilizer Chip

A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that transmits a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip is identical to that on the car's system, then the car will start.

This is a very important anti-theft device that blocks car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, the engine will not be turned on if anyone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

Modern cars are equipped with advanced electronic Engine Immobilizers that make use of changing or rolling codes. This means that each time the key is used, the intelligent system changes the second code before pushing it into the chip inside the key. The first code is a permanent one and the immobilizer checks the codes every time the ignition key is turned.

This is a highly sophisticated technology that is extremely difficult to hack. This is the reason why many stolen vehicles can't be started. It's also the reason why, if your Peugeot begins to start but then shuts off again it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be one of a variety of electrical issues causing the car to stop functioning. Our auto locksmiths are able to help solve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work once more.

The Battery

The transponder chip inside Peugeot keys for cars when paired with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser system within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob operation for the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of a manual or remote key.

Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 was introduced in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were developed to compete with the higher-end 205s.

The 206 range comprises three models: one hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi that could reach 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached the top speed of 210 km/h.

The Key Fob

Peugeot is a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1810. Peugeot is now owned by PSA Peugeot Citroen. Peugeot cars are often considered as one of the best in their class. It is possible to replace your Peugeot key fob if the one you have is damaged or worn out. All you need to do is transfer the electronics, battery and immobilizer chip from your old key to the new fob.

To make sure the new key works properly, test it in your vehicle. Ensure all doors are closed and turn off the ignition and then press the lock button on the fob three times. If the LED stops flashing it is working. If it continues to not work it could be because you forgot to transfer the transponder chip from the old key to the new key.
