Transponder Chips

The majority of Peugeot cars built since 1995 contain a transponder chip in the car keys. It's a tiny electronic chip that is comprised of non-volatile memory a type of memory that doesn't need continuous energy to keep it. Along with this there are several windings (very fine wires wrapped around a tube) similar to the ones found in an electric motor. When a key is inserted in the ignition barrel, it transmits this information to the immobiliser and if the correct information is received, the engine will be started.

This makes it harder for a novice car thief to wire the Peugeot. It's not foolproof and this type of security mechanism can easily be bypassed by a person with the right skills.

The locksmith will then remove the plastic cover, and then put the transponder chip on an adsorbent piece before attaching it to the ignition lock. The locksmith can then try starting the car with the key that has been dismantled. If the chip does not work it can be moved.

Immobilisers

Immobilisers are now standard in the majority of modern cars. They prevent the car from being started unless it's powered by the key fob or key that's been authorized. When activated by these immobilisers, they send a unique code to the car's ECU. If the code does not coincide with the one found in the vehicle's ECU the ECU will not allow the engine start. It will also shut down the starter motor as well as the fuel pump.

These systems can be effective in preventing car theft however, they must be regularly updated so that thieves do not overcome them. Researchers have said that they can hack into certain security systems and begin the car in under 30 minutes.

This is convenient, however there are risks associated with this technology. Some thieves have discovered ways to intercept the signals that is sent between the fobs as well as the cars, allowing them access to the vehicles. To counter this, newer fobs incorporate security features such as pseudo-random sequence generation to prevent the same unlock code from being transmitted repeatedly.
