Keys
It's happened to the best of us - you're filling up your car at a gas station or unloading shopping in the trunk when you realise you've left your keys at home. If you find yourself in this situation you can call your Peugeot dealer or ask a local locksmith for help. A reputable auto locksmith should have the equipment as well as the technology and machinery to make an extra Peugeot key on the spot.
From 1995 and onwards, the majority of Peugeots include an immobiliser feature at the factory. It works with tiny glass chips located inside the key casing. The chip is encrypted and contains a code that is difficult to copy. Each time you insert your keys into the ignition barrel it checks for the code and transmits it electronically to the immobiliser system of the vehicle. The fuel supply to the vehicle is cut off when the chip is not present. The engine won't start.
G28CarKeys should be equipped with the tools and technology to create a brand new key for your vehicle right there - at a fraction of the cost of a dealership. They can even come to you so you don't have to worry about having your car towed back to the dealership. Insurance companies typically take care of these scenarios as well, so you could obtain a replacement for your stolen or lost Peugeot keys earlier than you think.
Transponder Chips
Transponder chips are hidden in the car keys of all Peugeot cars manufactured since 1995. It's a tiny electronic chip that contains non-volatile memories that is a type of memory that does not require constant energy to store. Windings are also available, that are very fine wires that are coiled around the tube. They look similar to those used in an electric motor. When the key is placed into the ignition barrel it is the Peugeot immobiliser system receives the information and, if correct the engine will begin.
This makes the Peugeot more difficult to steal from an old-school or novice car burglar who may be trying to wire it. It's not foolproof, and even this kind of security system is easily manipulated when you have the proper knowledge.
A professional locksmith can design a spare Peugeot with a transponder. The key fob needs to be removed (using pliers or a screwdriver). Once this is removed, locksmiths can remove the transponder chip. They can then put it on a piece tape before affixing it to the ignition lock. The locksmith then tries to start the car with the keys dismantled. If it does not work it can be repositioned and tried again.
Immobilisers
Immobilisers are now a standard feature on the majority of modern cars. They stop the car from starting when it's not powered by an ignition key or key fob that's been authorized. These work by sending an unique code to the car's ECU when they are activated. If the code isn't compatible with the one that is stored in the vehicle the ECU will not allow the engine start and disable the fuel pump or starter motor.
While they're very effective at preventing car theft they must be maintained from time to interval to ensure that thieves aren't able to find ways to circumvent them. For example, researchers have claimed to be able to hack into certain security systems and have an automobile started in less than 30 minutes.
To combat this, insurance-approved immobilisers need to be able to intercept two of the three principal components that make a car run; for instance, the ignition system, fuel system and the starter motor. These types of security are called class 1 and are the most secure you can find without having a complete alarm system.
These can be reset by an auto locksmith with access to dealer-standard equipment. This means they can visit you at your office or home and cut programming, cut and give you new Peugeot keys weeks before a dealer would be equipped to do this for a fraction of the cost.
Remote Fobs for Locking
The majority of the latest Peugeot cars have key fobs which can open the doors and also start the engine with a click of a button. This is a great feature, but it also comes with some dangers. Some criminals have discovered ways to intercept the signals that is sent between the fobs as well as the vehicles, giving them access to the vehicles. To prevent this, many newer fobs incorporate security features like pseudo-random sequence generation, which prevents the same unlock code from being sent repeatedly.
Modern fobs do far more than simply unlock the car, however. They can also open the windows or even call and park the car by pressing the button. This feature is particularly useful when you have a vehicle who is close to you when parking. Some key fobs come with the panic button, which can be useful in emergencies. Some experts recommend keeping the key fob of your car by the bed so that you can hit the panic button when you notice suspicious sounds in the night.
If your key fob is damaged or lost, you may need to get it reprogrammed. This can be done at a dealership, however it's typically cheaper to have an automotive locksmith handle it. We'll have your key fob looking and functioning as new in a matter of minutes.
