This information is used to generate an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were more difficult to crack, but eventually, they were.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it which transmits a code to the car's immobilizer system. If the code contained on a chip matches the code in the immobilizer system of the car, the car will start.

The majority of modern vehicles have electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use rolling/changing security codes. This means that every time the key is used, the system alters the second code before pushing it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent and the immobilizer checks the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

The Battery

Peugeot was faced with a lot of competition when the 206 was launched in 1999, from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the more expensive end 205s.
The 206 model range includes three models including one hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206 called the 207 GTi that could reach 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and speeds of 210 km/h.
