Finding replacement keys for your car peugeot at the dealership can be expensive. You'll have to pay for the vehicle to be tow there and then wait around while they make the new key for you.
A car locksmith is equipped with the tools, technical knowledge and experience to do this for you in a flash and at an affordable cost.
Mechanical Keys
Peugeot's mechanical keys work with the immobiliser. When you insert an electronic key into the lock barrel, the key's tiny transponder chip transmits an electronic signal to the vehicle to confirm that it is correctly placed. The signal is interpreted by the immobiliser system, and when everything is in order, the engine will begin.
The microchip hidden in the key is protected by an intricate code that can't be manipulated or accessed. It also does not require any power source. The immobiliser system shuts off the supply of fuel to the engine if a faulty chip or a stolen one is found. Your Peugeot won't start.
Find a locksmith in your area who is specialized in Peugeot key programming if you require a new key or the key you have stolen or lost. This will ensure that your locksmith has the dealer standard equipment to program replacement keys.
An expert auto locksmith can make an additional Peugeot key on the spot, no matter if you're on the side of the road or in your office car park, or at home. This will save you money as you don't have to have your Peugeot returned to the dealership. It will also allow you to get back on the road more quickly. A highly-trained, experienced and reputable locksmith should be able to provide this service at a cheaper price than what you would pay at a car dealership.
Transponder Keys
Many Peugeot models come with transponder chips inside that improves the security of your vehicle. This means that you cannot start your car until the correct key is present.
This is a good thing since it makes it a lot more difficult for thieves to duplicate or counterfeit your key and then start the vehicle. But, if you happen to lose your transponder keys or is stolen, getting a replacement key can be expensive.
To get a brand new transponder key programmed you will need to visit a professional locksmith for vehicles. They'll have the equipment to do this for you, and it is usually cheaper than going to your dealership.
The process of getting a new transponder key programmed involves an electronic system that identifies information from the immobiliser in your car. This information is transferred to the new chip within your key. Once the new key has been programmed, it will be able to start your Peugeot car.
There are a variety of transponder keys that are suitable for Peugeot cars. These include regular transponder keys, FOBIK chips as well as proximity smart keys. An auto locksmith can replace all of these. If you have one of these keys, it's best to have a spare, just in case you misplace or lose the original.
Remote Locking Fobs
The majority of modern cars have keys for remote locking (often called a key fob) that has buttons that allow you to unlock your doors and trunk or start your vehicle remotely. These keys are also called remote transponder or keyless entry systems. They transmit a code when you press their buttons. If your key fob's battery fails or you lose it, you will need to purchase and program the replacement.
A locksmith can help with this, and you can locate a locksmith who specializes in the particular model of car you own. Certain dealers won't program new key fobs unless they have proof of ownership and registration. Some online retailers provide key fobs that have been programmed and delivered to your door, though you'll need to know how to replace the old battery in the fob.
In the ideal scenario you can rely on your local dealership to fix any problems with your key fob as long as you had the time and cash to do it. There are locksmiths in the automotive industry who can work on the latest Peugeot models, and also create spare keys or reprogram the keyfob. They can come to you and complete the process at a far more convenient and affordable price than you'd pay a dealer. These experts on the road are able to work on various car brands, unlike other locksmiths.
Keyless Entry
The Peugeot car key fob is a wonderful feature, but it could be expensive to replace if it is lost. The key fob functions as the remote control that opens your door. It also can start the engine of some vehicles. The key fob is generally made of steel and has a small screen that displays buttons. It also has a button that emits an alarm that the immobiliser recognizes as the correct code that allows the car to start.
The cost of replacing a fob varies on the type of key that your vehicle uses. Older mechanical keys can be copied from a the hardware store for less than $10, while the latest smart key fobs need to be purchased from a dealer and connected to your vehicle. This can be quite costly up to $200.
Most locksmiths can cut standard keys for Peugeots if you know the year and model of your car and can prove ownership (registration or title will suffice). Key duplication involves placing the original key on one side of the machine, where a key guide holds both keys in place. The machine rotates both keys simultaneously through a cutting tool to make an exact duplicate of the original.
Peugeot spare keys that do not have transponder or smart technology must be programmed in order to activate the immobilizer. The automotive locksmith or dealer could do this, based on the Peugeot model and the specific coding specifications.
