The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. The engine will not start in the event that the code isn't correct. This stops theft of vehicles from unauthorized people. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a professional locksmith for automotive can assist. They can program a new or replacement key with tools that are common for dealers. This can save time and money. You won't have to sit for a long time in the showroom because they will come to you.
Not all antitheft devices are made equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they meet high safety standards. They can verify the system's operation by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer components as well as the CAN bus traffic.
But even the best systems can be compromised in the right way if they are targeted. In one study that was conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol in order to elude three vehicles that were all older models. It took only ten seconds to retrieve the security code of the vehicle from one of them. This information is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were difficult to crack, but eventually, they became.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that communicates a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip is in line with the code on the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.
This is an important anti-theft device that prevents car thieves from hotwiring or otherwise bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to start regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize shifting or rolling security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code every time the key's used and then insert it into the chip of the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is hard to hack. This is why most stolen vehicles can't be started. It's also why you might notice that if your Peugeot starts and then shuts off again it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be several electrical issues that are causing the car to stop working. 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 again.
The Battery
Peugeot car keys include a transponder chip which, when utilized in conjunction with the vehicle, disarms the standard immobiliser mechanism of the vehicle 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 or manual key.
The 206 was introduced in 1999 Peugeot was facing a lot of competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the higher quality 205s.
The 206 range includes three models that include an open-air hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
