The Immobilizer System
When you turn and insert your Peugeot key, it sends a code electronically to the engine control system. If the code does not match, the engine will not start. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're experiencing problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert locksmith from the automotive sector can help.

They can test the effectiveness of the system by accessing the CAN bus and then reading messages that the components of an immobilizer exchange.
Even the best systems can be vulnerable if targeted correctly. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to stealthily crack three cars which were all older models. In just ten seconds, the security code for the vehicle was extracted from one of them. This information is used to create keys that disable the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack but they did break.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip matches the system of the car, then the car will begin to move.
This is a very important anti-theft measure that prevents car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it will not allow the engine to turn on, even if someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.

The intelligent system can change the second code each time the key's used and then insert it into the key's chip.

The Battery
Peugeot keys for cars contain a transponder chip which, when coupled with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser system inside the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to be started and also allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of the remote key or manual key.
Peugeot faced stiff competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or 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 developed to compete with the higher-end 205s.
The 206 line-up includes three models: one hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of the 206, which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve a top speed up to 210 km/h.
