The other two keys were more difficult to crack but eventually they were.
The Immobilizer Chip

When the 206 was first introduced in 1999, Peugeot was facing a lot of competition from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205; rather, 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 developed to take the sales of the higher-end 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models: an open-air hatchback (206 CC) and a cabriolet with two doors coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds and attain the speed of 210 km/h.
