Peugeot 206 Key Replacement
Peugeot 206 key replacement is a simple job that can be completed in just a few minutes. All you need is to transfer the electronic components, battery and immobilizer chip from the old key fob to the new.
Peugeot keys 206 feature a button cell battery that can fail. This video explains how you can replace the battery.
The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it transmits an electronic code to the engine management system. The engine will not start when the code isn't right. This can prevent theft from vehicles that are not registered. If you're having issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert locksmith in the automotive industry can help. They can program a replacement or new key using tools that are standard for dealers. This can save both time and money. You won't need to wait for long at the dealer because they will come to you.
However it is true that not all antitheft systems are made equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure that they meet high safety standards. They are able to test the functionality of the system by logging into CAN bus traffic and reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.
But even the best security systems can be hacked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to stealthily crack three cars, all of them older models. It took only ten seconds to retrieve the security code of a vehicle from one of them. The information is then used to generate a working key, which disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to break but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip or Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits a passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the car. If the code in a chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.
This is an essential 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, it won't allow the engine to start regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize shifting or rolling security codes. This means that each time the key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code, and then pushes it into the chip within the key. The first code remains permanent and each time the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars can't be started. If your Peugeot starts, but it shuts down and then restarts it's likely to be the immobilizer. Instead, it could be one of a myriad of electrical issues that are causing the car to stop working. Our auto locksmiths can solve these issues. They can also reprogram a chipped or smart Peugeot Key so that it will work again.
The Battery
The transponder chip inside Peugeot keys for cars when paired with the vehicle disables the immobiliser system within the ECU. This allows the vehicle to start and also allows the key fob to operate the doors and boot. The chip is hidden within the head of a remote or manual key.
When the 206 was launched in 1999
peugeot 307 key fob was facing a lot of competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205; rather, it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the more expensive top 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models that include a hatchback (206 CC) as well as a cabriolet 2-door coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve the top speed of 210 km/h.
