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 helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. An expert locksmith can help you if your Peugeot immobilizer is not working.

Not all antitheft gadgets are created to be the same. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and evaluates them to ensure they comply with high safety standards. They test the system's functionality by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer's components as well as the CAN bus.
But even the best systems can be hacked when they are targeted correctly. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer to hack three cars, all of them older models. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the security code of the vehicle from one of them. The information is used to create a functioning key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two were harder to break however they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped is also referred to as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code on the chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.
This is a crucial anti-theft feature that assists in preventing car thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with modern electronic Engine Immobilizers which employ shifting or rolling codes. This means that each time a key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip in the key. The first code stays in place and each time the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if they are compatible.
This is a sophisticated technology that is hard to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles cannot be started. If your Peugeot starts, but then stops, it is likely not the immobilizer. It could be a range of electrical problems that are the reason your car isn't functioning. Our auto locksmiths are able to help resolve these problems. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart Peugeot Key to ensure it works again.
The Battery

When the 206 was first introduced in 1999, Peugeot was facing a lot of competition from minivans such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to draw sales from the higher-end 205s.
The 206 range comprises a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, as well as a station wagon known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and speeds of 210 km/h.
