The Immobilizer System
When you insert your Peugeot key into the ignition and turn it on, it sends an electronic code to the engine management system. The engine will not start in the event that the code isn't correct. This helps prevent theft of cars that are not authorized. If you're having problems with your Peugeot car immobilizer, an expert locksmith in the automotive industry can help.

They can verify the system's operation by analyzing the messages that are sent between the immobilizer's components as well as the CAN bus.
But even the best systems can be hacked if they are targeted properly. In one study the researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in Hitag2's immobilizer protocol to hack three cars, all of them older models. It took only 10 seconds to get the security code for the vehicle from one of them. This information is then used to generate a working key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to break, but they did eventually be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A chipped key or Smart Key, has a RFID microchip that sends the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code in a chip matches that of the car's immobilizer system, the car will begin.
This is an essential security measure that stops car thieves from hotwiring the immobilizer or bypassing it in any other way. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on even if someone attempts to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use rolling/changing security codes. This means that every time a key is used, the intelligent system changes the second code and inserts it into the chip inside the key. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.
This is a sophisticated technology that's difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen cars aren't able start.
