Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are concealed in the car keys of most Peugeots manufactured since 1995. It's a tiny electronic chip that has non-volatile memories which is a form of memory that does not require constant energy to store. Additionally, it has several windings (very fine wires wrapped around tubes) like those you'd find in an electric motor. When a key is inserted in the ignition barrel, it will send this information to the immobiliser system and if the correct information is received the engine will start.
This makes it more difficult for a novice or old-school car burglar to wire the Peugeot. However, it's not foolproof and even this kind of security device can be bypassed with the appropriate knowledge.
A professional locksmith can design a spare Peugeot with a transponder. They'll need to take off the plastic cover from the key fob (which is done using either pliers or screwdrivers). Once the cover is removed the locksmith will be able to take the transponder chip and place it on a piece of tape before affixing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then test the start of the car using the dismantled key. If it is not working it can be repositioned and tried again.
Immobilisers
The majority of modern cars include immobilisers as standard which prevent the car from starting unless it is powered by a authorised key or key fob. These work by sending an unique code to the car's ECU when they are activated. If the code doesn't coincide with the one found in the vehicle's ECU it will mean that the ECU will not allow the engine to start. It will also disable the starter motor as well as the fuel pump.
Although they are extremely efficient in preventing theft of cars, they do need to be updated from time to interval to ensure that thieves don't find ways around them. For example, researchers have claimed to hack into some security systems and had an auto started in less than 30 minutes.
To stop this, insurance approved immobilisers need to be able to intercept two of the three main components that make a car run; for instance, the ignition system, fuel system, and the starter motor. These types of security are referred to as class 1 and are the most secure that you can get without having a complete alarm system.
Thankfully, these can be modified or reset with the assistance of an experienced auto locksmith who has access to dealer-standard equipment. This means they can visit you at your work or home and be able to cut keys, program and then deliver new Peugeot keys weeks before a dealership is able to do so and at just a fraction of the cost.
Remote Fobs for Locking
The majority of new Peugeots come with key fobs that can be used to open the doors and also start the engine by pressing one button. This technology is convenient, but it also has its own dangers. Certain thieves have discovered ways to block the signal between the fob and the vehicle, allowing them to gain access to the vehicle. To prevent this, many newer fobs use security features such as pseudo-random sequence generation that prevents the same unlock code from being sent repeatedly.
Modern fobs do a lot more than just unlock the car, though. They can also lower the windows or even summon and park the vehicle by pressing one button. This feature is particularly useful when you're stuck in a tight parking spot with a different driver. Some key fobs feature an emergency button that can be useful in an emergency. 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.
