The Peugeot car key is a high-tech piece of equipment. It is equipped with an electronic chip that communicates with the engine control unit (ECU) to allow the vehicle to start and open its doors. Only a locksmith who has the appropriate tools can make a spare Peugeot.
This key can replace worn or damaged car key. As opposed to standard blanks for keys that can be bought at a hardware store or online stores, Peugeot keys must be programmed to work in the vehicle you are using it in. G28 means that the key needs to be cut according to the correct model, have the correct transponder and other parts. It also needs to be configured properly for the vehicle's security system. A professional auto locksmith can do all of this in the shortest amount of time.
Peugeot owners had to visit their dealer to get replacement keys. Although this is still an option when you have the time and funds to wait however it's not the most ideal option in all cases. Dealerships lack the required equipment or knowledge to deal with Peugeot important emergencies on the roadside, at your workplace or at home.

If you've got a newer Peugeot model that is available, it's likely to have the 'transponder' chip built into its key. This is yet another layer of security that prevents your vehicle from starting until it receives a specific code from the key after it is inserted. It is impossible to duplicate a Peugeot without the right equipment and software.

The immobiliser
The immobiliser inside the Peugeot is one of the most efficient security features. It basically uses a tiny glass chip inside the key to prevent theft of the vehicle through stopping the engine from turning on. The system is based on a complex code and does not require a battery. The system checks the chip's code each time the key goes into the ignition barrel. The car will only start if it recognizes the chip. If not, fuel will be cut to prevent the engine from beginning.
This is a wonderful thing that has reduced the amount of car crime. But it does mean that new Peugeot keys are not easy to acquire and you'll need a specialist locksmith for this kind of job. The specialist can use tools from a dealer to make an Peugeot spare key and also must program it to allow the car to begin. It could cost anything from 120 PS to 300 PS, based on the model of the Peugeot and the complexity of the key is.
Peugeot keys are prone to wear and tear, and eventually fail over time, usually about five years. They are dropped, thrown and then boiled hot and freezing cold on a regular basis and this causes the electronic switches to deteriorate. This can lead to tiny hairline cracks appearing on the circuit board, and this causes the transponder signal to fail. This is the most frequent problem with the Peugeot key and it is usually the cause of the car not starting or showing an 'Immobiliser Fault' message on the dashboard.
If you do lose your Peugeot spare key or the original is stolen, you can visit an auto locksmith in your neighborhood to get it replaced. They can assist with a number of different automobile brands and arrive at your location, saving you from having to be towed back to their workshop or an auto dealer.
A professional can design and program the key for around 120 PS, but they'll need the right equipment to get your car running. A lot of the cheaper keys you can purchase on eBay or Amazon do not have the right chips, which could cause the key to malfunction. These cheap keys are normally made in China and are usually of low-quality, so you're better off purchasing a dealer key from the outset. If you lose your key, it is an ideal idea to have an emergency plan in place to ensure you can get home safely or get to the garage as swiftly as possible.
