It took only 10 seconds to obtain the security code for the vehicle from one of the three. This data is used to create an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to crack but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that communicates a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code on the chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer, the car will begin.
This is an important anti-theft feature that assists in preventing thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't permit the engine to turn on even if someone is trying to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use shifting or rolling codes. This means that each time a key is used, the system changes the second code, and then pushes it into the chip within the key. The first code is permanent, and the immobilizer scans the codes each time the ignition key is turned.

The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 106 and 306 were designed to take sales from the higher-end 205s.
The 206 range comprises the hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and station wagons known as the 206 the CC and the 206 SW. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated model of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach the speed of 210 km/h.
