How To Outsmart Your Boss On Peugeot 3008 Key Fob
What You Should Know About Your Peugeot Key Fob
Peugeot Key Fob is a handy feature that lets drivers start their vehicle from some distance. This is beneficial during cold or hot weather, as it allows drivers to warm the interior and engine before entering the vehicle.
Dealerships can program and create new Peugeot keys but only if they are able to do so. We can cut and program, then deliver new Peugeot keys much faster at KeyNOW.
As well as opening and locking your car doors, certain key fobs also have the capability to start the engine. This is useful if the vehicle needs to be left on a hot day or when the trunk is full of heavy items that make it difficult to open the door. To start the car using your key fob, press the unlock button several times in quick succession. The door locks should lock and the red LED light will start to flash. If this does not occur the battery in your key fob may be dead and needs to be replaced. Alternately RF interference caused by nearby buildings could affect your system.
Another neat feature is that certain key fobs contain a physical key that can be used to unlock the car (often only for the driver's door but sometimes also for the boot). They can usually be accessed by opening a flap on the fob, or pressing a button on the case. The key's physical form can be pulled out of the slot in the case.
Key fobs can get damaged by water - especially when the chips inside are exposed to soapy or salty water. In certain instances, a chip that is damaged could cause key fobs to cease working. In this situation the key fob will need to be replaced by the dealer. Locksmiths can supply replacement keys faster and at lower costs than dealerships.
Remote Start
You can start your car without having to carry your keys in your car. This is especially helpful if it's hot outside and you want to cool your car down while running errands. There are a few things you need to know before you can use this feature.
Some key fobs come with an engine start button that you can use to start your car remotely (for example, Ford has a circular arrow that is moving clockwise on its key fob). Mazdas, for example, require you to first lock the key and then press the Start button.
It could be that you have an insufficient or dead battery in your key fob if you're not able to start your car. The battery of the key fob isn't as strong to send a signal back to the car system.

The process is different for every car, but the instructions are usually in the owner's manual. Our mobile technicians are also able to assist you with this process We've got the expert equipment to cut and program replacement Peugeot keys at the workplace, at home or if you're at the side of the road.
Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote key system allows the owner to lock and unlock their vehicle at the touch of a button on the key fob. This key fob, unlike the standard key that has a physical hole, holds an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by utilizing an electronic signal that is only transmitted when the key is within a certain distance from car. When the signal is detected an internal solenoid within the door lock transforms the electronic command into an action that is mechanical. This turns a rod to turn the car door locks, just as a physical key could.
There are several possible causes for a Peugeot keyfob that is not locking or unlocking your vehicle. The most common cause is the battery is dead. This can be repaired in a matter of minutes. Other causes include worn-out buttons, water damage or signal interference or a defective chip.
Modern cars require a very high degree of precision for operation, and the key fob is not immune to this. Key fobs can be programmed incorrectly, or have an issue with the hardware that prevents it from receiving a signal from the vehicle. A certified locksmith can reprogram your key fob to ensure that it is compatible with the vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot was among the first companies to incorporate an immobiliser into a key. This prevents the vehicle from starting if it detects an incorrect signal being sent from the key to the car. This is a great feature when they're brand new, but over time the chips will get worn out and cause issues. This usually starts with getting a message saying 'anti theft system active on the dashboard or a warning light lit up stating "immobiliser fault".
Normally Peugeot dealerships have to be asked to create and program replacement keys. However a professional mobile locksmith comes with dealer-standard equipment inside their van, which means they can be at your location and creating new Peugeot keys on the roadside or at home, much faster than dealerships would be able to.
Generally Peugeot keys start to show problems when the blade wears out. The wear causes the mouth of the key to stop feeding into the lock correctly which causes more wear on the locks themselves. The issue can be fixed by changing the blade. It is also possible to have the teeth of the keys rehabilitated to ensure that they function smoothly. Only a qualified auto locksmith can do this, but it could save you lots of time and money in the future.
