The Immobilizer System
When you turn on and insert your Peugeot key, it transmits an electronic code to the engine control system. The engine will not start if the code isn't correct. This helps prevent theft of cars that are not authorized. If you're having issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a reputable automotive locksmith can help.

They can test the system's capabilities by analyzing the messages transmitted between the immobilizer's components and CAN bus traffic.
However, even peugeot 107 key fob replacement can be cracked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to elude three vehicles that were all older models. It took only ten seconds to retrieve the security code for the vehicle from one of them. This information is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack, but they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip that is also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits a passcode from the keys to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on a chip is in line with the code on the immobilizer system of the car, the car will start.
This is an important security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key the engine won't turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with sophisticated electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ rolling/changing codes. The system's intelligent algorithm will alter the second code every time the key is used, and insert it into key's chip. The first code is always in place and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles can't be started. If your Peugeot starts, but it shuts down and then restarts it's likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical problems that are causing your car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart Peugeot Key so that it will work again.
The Battery
Peugeot keys to cars have the transponder chip that, when used in conjunction with the vehicle, deactivates 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 hidden in the head of a remote or manual key.
Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when the 206 was launched in 1999, mainly from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205, rather 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 more expensive 205s.
The 206 range comprises a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and the station wagon, which is known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of the 206, which could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach the speed of 210 km/h.
