It took only 10 seconds to get the security code of the vehicle from one of the vehicles. This data is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually they were.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped, also known as a Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the chip's code matches that on the car's system the car will start.
This is an important security feature that can stop thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to start even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use changing or rolling codes. This means that every time a key is used, the system alters the second code and pushes it into the chip within the key. The first code is always in place and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

The Battery

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 was launched in 1999, mainly from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205 but it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the more expensive quality 205s.
The 206 line includes the hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, as well as the station wagon, which is known as the 206 the CC and the 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 reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
