How your immobiliser system functions on Peugeot 205

Before explaining the different choices available to you, here is a short introduction to explain the intent and functions of the immobilizer in your Peugeot 205. This electronic element came out 30 years ago and aims to prevent the theft of your Peugeot 205. In fact, thanks to a transponder and an antenna (coil) integrated in the key, and, a immobilisation control box integrated in the ECU and a reception antenna on the neiman, your Peugeot 205 will go each time you place the key in the ignition, it controls that the code emitted by your key is indeed the one expected by your immobilization box. It is only at this instant, that it will allow you to turn on your car. It is thanks to RFID technology (chip in the key) that this system will work.

First process, your key no longer enables your Peugeot 205 to start, you want to turn off the immobiliser of your Peugeot 205, but first of all you should try this process to start it and take it to a mechanic verify that you can not do a less significant procedure to restore the normal start of your vehicle. In fact, with your vehicle you should have a spare key (which you should try and which should start your Peugeot 205), but if you don’t have it you should at least have the “code card”, it contains the start code. Thanks to this code, you will still be able to start your vehicle by entering it manually. To do this, turn on the ignition, use your centralized button to enter the digits, several quick presses (example: 2 for digit 2) then a stop of one and a half seconds to confirm the digit and resume, replicate the procedure until you have entered the entire code. This should let you start your Peugeot 205 without having to remove the immobiliser.

Repair your key at a key specialist or your car dealer

If in spite of a battery swap, several tries to enter the immobiliser code on your Peugeot 205 still doesn’t want to start, it’s likely your key that’s at issue. We can understand that you still want to bypass the immobiliser device from your Peugeot 205. In fact, your transponder must have been injured or must have fallen off your key. To correct this trouble, only option, go to a key specialist (also available on the internet) or, at your dealer who can restore your Peugeot 205 key. Based on who you go to the repair should cost you about 100 euros if you still have a duplicate or your “code card” and about 350 euros at your dealer if you have no support and you want a new functional key, it will avoid you having to remove the immobilizer from your Peugeot 205.

Manually remove your immobilizer

Although you may be attracted to bypass the immobilizer from your Peugeot 205, this is not advised at all for many reasons. First your Peugeot 205 would be much more vulnerable to theft attempts. In fact, without an immobiliser box, simply doing “the wires” may be enough to turn your car on. Moreover to that, your insurance, in case of theft most likely won’t refund you if it realizes that the immobiliser on your Peugeot 205 has been removed, bypassed or deactivated. This if you still want to do it, some sites still give the process, we have made the choice not to disclose it, because it could benefit people with bad intentions.
