Keys
It happens to everyone it happens to everyone - you are filling your car with fuel or loading your trunk and realize that you've left your keys behind. You can contact your Peugeot dealer to get assistance or ask an expert locksmith in the area to assist you. A reputable auto locksmith should have the equipment and technology to create an extra Peugeot key on the spot.
Most Peugeot vehicles from 1995 and onwards feature a factory-installed immobiliser system that is synchronised with a tiny glass chip that is hidden within the key casing. The chip contains an encrypted code that is impossible to duplicate. Every time you insert your key into the ignition barrel, it scans for the code and then sends it electronically to the immobiliser system in the vehicle. The fuel supply to the vehicle is cut off when the chip isn't present. The engine won't start.
A professional Peugeot locksmith will be equipped with the tools and technology to create a brand new key for your vehicle right on the spot - at less than the cost of dealerships. They can even come to you so you don't have to fret about having your vehicle tow back to the dealership. Car insurance companies often will cover these kinds of situations as well, so you can get a replacement for your lost or stolen Peugeot keys earlier than you think.
Transponder Chips
The majority of Peugeot automobiles manufactured after 1995 include a transponder chips in the car keys. It's a miniature electronic chip that contains non-volatile memories which is a kind of memory which does not require constant energy to retain. Windings are also available, which are extremely fine wires wrapped around tubes. They look similar to those used in an electric motor. When a key is inserted in the ignition barrel, it transmits this information to the immobiliser system. If the correct information is received, then the engine will begin to run.
This makes the Peugeot more difficult to take from a novice car theft thief who could be attempting to hot wire it. It's not foolproof and this kind of security feature is easily bypassed when you have the proper knowledge.
A professional locksmith will be able to make an alternative Peugeot key that contains transponder chips. They'll just need to take off the plastic cover from the key fob (which can be done using the use of pliers or a screwdriver). The locksmith will then remove the plastic cover and place the transponder chip on a piece of tape, before attaching it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then try to start the car with this disassembled keys. If the chip does not work then it can be repositioned.
Immobilisers
Nearly all modern cars come with immobilisers as standard and prevent the car from starting until it is powered by a valid key or key fob. When activated by these immobilisers, they send an unicode code to your car's ECU. If the code you receive doesn't match the one that is stored in the vehicle the ECU will not let the engine start and disable the fuel pump or starter motor.
These systems are effective in preventing theft of cars but they must be maintained regularly to ensure that thieves are unable to get around them. For example researchers have claimed to be able to hack into certain security systems and had a car started in under 30 minutes.
To counter this, insurance-approved immobilisers have to be able to shut down two of the three principal components that make a car go; for instance, the ignition system, fuel system and the starter motor. These kinds of security are called class 1 and are the most secure you can get without a full alarm system installed as well.
Fortunately, these keys can be reset or reconfigured with the help of an expert auto locksmith who has access to dealer-standard equipment. They can visit your office or home and cut programs, cut, and then provide you with new Peugeot keys prior to a dealership being able to complete the task - for less than what dealers charge.
Remote Locking Fobs
The majority of new Peugeots have key fobs that can be used to open the doors and start up the engine by pressing a button. This technology is useful, but it also comes with a few risks. Certain thieves have found ways to intercept the signal transmitted between the fobs, and the cars, which gives them to gain access to the vehicle. To counter this security issue, most newer fobs have security features such as pseudo-random codes to stop the same unlocking code from being repeated.
Modern fobs can perform much more than simply unlock the car. They can also lower the windows, or call and park the car with a push of the button. This feature is especially useful if there's a driver in close proximity to you when parking. Certain key fobs include a panic button, which can be useful in emergencies. Some experts suggest keeping the key fob of your car by the bedside so you can press the panic button in case you hear unusual noises during the night.
You may have to re-program your key fob in case it is damaged or lost. This can be done at the dealership, but it is usually cheaper to have an auto locksmith handle it. We can get your key fob functioning and looking like new in no-time.
