It took only ten seconds to retrieve the security code for the vehicle from one of the vehicles. This information is used to create an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two were more difficult to break however they did eventually get broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key that is chipped or Smart Key, has a RFID micro-chip that transmits the passcode from the key to the immobilizer system of the vehicle. If the code in a chip is identical to the code in the car's immobilizer system, the car will begin.
This is an important anti-theft feature that assists in preventing thieves from hotwiring or otherwise overriding the engine immobilizer system. If the immobilizer can't identify the key, it won't allow the engine to start regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars are equipped with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that utilize changing or rolling security codes. This means that every time a key is used, the intelligent system alters the second code before pushing 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.
This is a very sophisticated technology that is very difficult to hack. This is why the majority of stolen vehicles can't be powered up. If your Peugeot starts, but then stops, it is likely not the immobilizer. Instead, it could be one of many electrical issues causing the car to cease working.
