The Immobilizer System

However the fact is that not all antitheft devices are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grade them to ensure that they are in compliance with the highest safety standards. They can test the performance of the system by accessing the CAN bus network and analyzing messages that the immobilizer components exchange.
Even the best systems are vulnerable if they're targeted in the right way. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to hack three cars, all of them older models. It took only 10 seconds to extract the vehicle security code from one of the three. This data is used to generate a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were difficult to crack, but eventually they were.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip in it that transmits a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code is similar to the one on the car's system, then the car will begin to move.
This is a very important security measure to prevent car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other method. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key the engine won't start even if a person attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ shifting or rolling security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the intelligent system changes the second code, and then pushes it into the chip in the key. The first code remains in place when the key is turned in the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if they're compatible.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is hard to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars aren't able to be started. It's also the reason why, you might notice that if your Peugeot starts up and then shuts down it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be one of a variety of electrical issues that are causing the car to cease working. Our auto locksmiths can resolve these issues.

The Battery
The transponder chip that is found in Peugeot keys for cars, when used with the vehicle will disable the immobiliser feature within the ECU. This enables the vehicle to start, and also allows key fob access to the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a remote or manual key.
Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 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 line includes an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, as well as an a-station wagon referred to as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of 206 that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and could reach a top speed up to 210 km/h.
