The Immobilizer System
When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it sends an electronic code to the engine control system. The engine won't start if the code isn't correct. This helps prevent unauthorized car theft.

In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer protocol to hack three cars that were all older models. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the vehicle security code from one of the vehicles. This information is used to generate a key that disables the immobilizer.

The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip or 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 system, the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft feature that helps prevent thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer fails to recognize the key it will not start even if someone attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
Modern cars come with sophisticated electronic Engine Immobilizers that use changing codes that roll. The intelligent system can change the second code every time the key is used and push 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 extremely difficult to hack. It's the reason why many stolen vehicles cannot be started. If your Peugeot starts, but then shuts down again then it's not the immobilizer. It could be one of a variety of electrical issues causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths are able to resolve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll function again.
The Battery

This allows the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob operation of the doors and boot. The chip is hidden inside the head of the remote key or manual key.
When the 206 was first introduced in 1999 Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were designed to take the sales of 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 version of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach the top speed of 210 km/h.
