Peugeot 206 Key Replacement
The replacement of the Peugeot 206 key is a simple task that can be completed in a matter of minutes. You only need to transfer the immobilizer chip, battery and electronic components from your old keyfob and then the new.
Peugeot keyfobs in the 206 series can have an inoperable button-cell battery. This video shows how to replace the button cell battery.
The Immobilizer System
When you insert and turn your Peugeot key, it sends a code electronically to the engine control system. The engine won't start if the code is not right. This helps to prevent unauthorized car theft. A professional locksmith for cars can assist you when your Peugeot immobilizer isn't working. They can make use of tools that are standard for dealers to program a brand new key or replace the old one. This can save time and money.

Not all antitheft gadgets are created equal. The Thatcham Research organisation tests and gradings anti-theft technology to ensure that it is compliant with the highest safety standards. They test the system's performance by studying the messages sent between the immobilizer components and the CAN bus traffic.
Even the best systems can be vulnerable if targeted correctly. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to crack 3 cars, all older models. It took just 10 seconds to obtain the security code of the vehicle from one of the vehicles. This data is then used to generate a working key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack, but they did eventually break.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped or Smart Key, has a RFID microchip which transmits an encrypted passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the chip's code matches that of the car's system the car will begin to move.
This is an important security feature that can stop thieves from hotwiring or otherwise bypassing the immobilizer system of the engine. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Most modern cars have advanced electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ rolling/changing security codes. This means that each time a key is used, the system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip in the key. The first code remains in place, and each time the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer checks the two codes to determine if they're compatible.
This is an extremely sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. The Keylab is why the majority of stolen cars can't be started. It's also why you might notice that if your Peugeot starts up and it shuts off it's not likely to be the immobilizer. It could be a variety of electrical issues that are the reason your car isn't working. Our auto locksmiths are able resolve these issues. They can also reprogram your chipped or smart Peugeot key so that it'll work again.
The Battery
Peugeot keys for cars contain a transponder chip which, when coupled with the vehicle, disables the standard immobiliser mechanism of the vehicle that is located in the ECU (engine control unit). This allows the vehicle to start and also allows key fob control of the doors and boot. The chip is concealed within the head of a manual or remote key.
Peugeot faced stiff competition when it launched the 206 in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. This was done so that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the more expensive high-end 205s.
The 206 range includes an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, and station wagons known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated version of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
The peugeot 206 is a well-loved choice of car for those looking for a stylish and affordable family car. Like all vehicles there can be issues. They could be the difficulty in starting the car or the key fob that is no longer functioning.
