The Immobilizer Chip

Most modern cars have advanced electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ rolling/changing security codes.

When the 206 first came out in 1999, Peugeot was faced with a fierce competition from superminis like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it would 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 Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to take the sales of the higher-end 205s.
The 206 range comprises an open-air hatchback, a two-door coupe cabriolet, as well as station wagons known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 called the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and reached the top speed of 210 km/h.
