The Immobilizer Chip

Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that use rolling/changing security codes.

The first code remains in place and each time the key is put in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if the two codes match.

Peugeot was in a tough spot when the 206 was introduced in 1999, coming from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205; rather, it was designed to be a bridge between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was so 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 an open-air hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station-wagon (206 SW). There was also a WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached speeds of 210 km/h.
