The Immobilizer System
When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it transmits 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. A professional locksmith for automotive can help you if your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working.

The Thatcham Research organisation tests and gradings anti-theft technology to ensure that it complies with high safety standards. They verify the system's operation by reading the messages sent between the immobilizer's components and the CAN bus traffic.
But even the best security systems can be hacked when they are targeted correctly. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer protocol to elude three vehicles which were all older models. It took only ten seconds to retrieve the security code for the vehicle from one of the three. This information is used to create keys that disable the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to break but they did get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the chip's code matches that on the car's system, then the car will start.
This is a crucial anti-theft feature that helps prevent car thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it won't permit the engine to start even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize rolling or changing security codes. This means that each time the key is used, the smart system changes the second code and inserts it into the chip within the key. The first code remains permanent, and each time the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer processes the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is difficult to hack. This is the reason that most stolen vehicles aren't able to be started. It's also why when your Peugeot starts to run but it shuts off it's probably not the immobilizer. It could be many electrical issues causing the car to cease working. replacement key for peugeot 308 can help resolve these problems.

Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205 but it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. The lower models of both Peugeot 306 and 106 were designed to take sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 line-up includes three models which include one hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi, which did 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached the top speed of 210 km/h.
