The Immobilizer System

This stops theft of vehicles from unauthorized people. If you're experiencing issues with your Peugeot car immobilizer, a skilled locksmith from the automotive sector can help.

The Thatcham Research organisation tests anti-theft technologies and grades them to ensure they adhere to the highest safety standards. They can test the operation of the system by accessing the CAN bus and reading messages that the components of the immobilizer exchange.
However, even the most secure systems can be hacked If they are targeted appropriately. In one study, Jan Bokslag used weaknesses in the Hitag2 protocol to stealthily crack 3 cars and all models older. In just ten seconds, the vehicle's security code was obtained from one of them. This information is used to create a key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack but they did get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key (often called a Smart Key) has an RFID microchip inside which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code contained on a chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.
This is an essential security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer, or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key the engine will not start even if a person attempts to short-circuit ignition circuit.
The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ changing or rolling security codes. This means that every time the key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip in the key. The first code is permanent, and each time the key is turned in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if they match.
This is a highly sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. It's the reason that most stolen vehicles aren't able to be started.

The 206 range comprises three models which include an open-air hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated variant of the 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and reach speeds of up to 210 km/h.
