Whether you have lost your Peugeot keys to your car, or damaged the keys, a professional locksmith can create replacement keys for a fraction of the price that dealerships charge. An auto locksmith will be equipped with the latest technology, machinery and tools to complete the job.

Peugeot cars come with a built in immobiliser system that operates through the transponder chip hidden inside the key. When the chip is installed in the ignition, it transmits a code which disables the immobiliser.

Keys

It happens to everyone it happens to everyone - you are filling your car with gasoline or loading your trunk when you realize that you left your keys behind. You can call your Peugeot dealer for assistance or ask a local locksmith to help you. A reputable auto locksmith should have the tools and technology to make an extra Peugeot key on the spot.

The majority of Peugeots built from 1995 onwards have an immobiliser system installed in the factory. It works in conjunction with small glass chips that are located inside the key casing. The chip contains a sophisticated code that cannot be copied. Each time you insert the key into the ignition barrel, it checks for this code before sending it electronically to the vehicle's immobiliser system. If the chip is not present the car's fuel supply is shut off and the engine will not start.

Professional Peugeot locksmiths can create new keys for your vehicle in a matter of minutes and at a fraction of the cost of a dealership. They can even come to you, so you don't need to be concerned about having your car transported to the dealer. Insurance companies typically take care of these scenarios too, which means you could get a replacement of your stolen or lost Peugeot car keys sooner than you think.

Transponder Chips

The majority of Peugeot cars made since 1995 include a transponder chips in their keys. It's a tiny electronic chip that contains non-volatile memory; it is a type of memory that doesn't need constant energy for retention. There are also windings which are fine wires that are wrapped around a tube. They look similar to the ones used in an electric motor. When keys are inserted into the ignition barrel, it sends this information to the Peugeot's immobiliser system. If the correct information is received, the engine can start.

This makes it harder for a novice or old-school car thief to wire the Peugeot. It's not foolproof, and this type of security mechanism is easily bypassed by a person with the right expertise.

A professional locksmith can create an extra Peugeot with a transponder. The key fob has to be removed (using pliers or a screwdriver). The locksmith will remove the plastic cover and then place the transponder chip onto the piece of tape before attaching it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then attempt to start the car using the keys that have been dismantled. If the chip doesn't work it can be moved.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are now standard in the majority of modern cars. They prevent the car from being started until it is powered by keys or a key fob that's authorised. When activated by the immobiliser, it sends an unicode code to the car's ECU. If this code doesn't match the one that is stored in the vehicle, the ECU will not let the engine start and will disable the starter or fuel pump motor.

While they're very effective at preventing car theft they should be maintained from time to period to ensure that thieves aren't able to find ways to circumvent them. For example researchers have claimed to hack into security systems and had a car started in under 30 minutes.

To counter this, insurance-approved immobilisers must have the ability to stop two of the three major components that make a car run; for instance, the ignition system, fuel system and the starter motor. These kinds of security are known as class 1 and are the most secure you can find without having an alarm system installed as well.

These can be reset by an auto locksmith that has access to dealer standard equipment. This means they can come to you at office or home and be able to cut programming, cut and give you new Peugeot keys weeks before a dealership would be able to do so for only a fraction of the price.

Remote Locking Fobs

Most new Peugeot cars come with key fobs that let you unlock the doors and even start the engine with one click. This technology is convenient however, it has its own dangers. Some thieves have discovered ways to intercept the signal that is sent between the fob and the vehicle thus allowing them access to the vehicle. To counter this, newer fobs use security features like pseudo-random sequence generation to prevent the same unlock code from being transmitted repeatedly.

Modern fobs do far more than just unlock the car. By pressing a button, they can also lower the windows and even park the car. This feature is particularly beneficial if you're in a parking lot with a driver. Certain key fobs come with a panic-button that can be helpful in the event of an emergency. Some experts recommend keeping your car's key fob at the bed so that you can hit the panic button when you notice suspicious sounds in the night.

You may need to re-program your key fob in case it's lost or damaged. This can be done at the dealer, but it is usually cheaper to have an automotive locksmith handle it. We'll get your key fob in shape and functioning as new in a matter of minutes.
