Remote Start

Door Locks
The Peugeot 3008 remote system enables you to lock or unlock your vehicle by pressing the button on your key fob. This key fob, unlike the traditional key with an opening in the middle, is designed to store an encrypted copy of the car keys inside.
It does this by using an electronic signal that can only be transmitted if the key is at a certain distance from car. A solenoid inside the door lock converts the electronic command to mechanical once the signal has been detected. This causes a rod to control the car door locks, just like an actual key could.
There are several possible causes for the Peugeot keyfob that isn't locking or unlocking your vehicle. Most likely is an unresponsive coin battery which can be replaced in minutes. Other causes include worn buttons, water damage, signal interference or a defective electronic chip.
The key fob on modern cars is not an exception. Modern cars require an extremely high level of precision in order to operate. The key fob may be programmed incorrectly, or may have a hardware issue that prevents it from responding to signals from the vehicle. A licensed locksmith can reprogram the key fob, and ensure that it works with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot were among the first car manufacturers to include an immobiliser chip in a key. The immobiliser chip stops the car from starting if it sees an error in the signal sent from the key to the car. When it's brand new, this is fantastic however as they age, the chips may wear out and start to cause problems. This usually starts with getting an alert stating 'anti theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light lit up stating 'immobiliser fault'.

Generally Peugeot keys start to have issues when the blade of the key wears out. This wear causes the mouth of the key to stop entering the lock correctly which causes more wear on the locks themselves. Sometimes, just swapping out a new blade is enough to solve the issue. It is also possible to have the teeth of the key repaired so they work more smoothly. Only a licensed auto locksmith is able to do this, however it will save you lots of time and cash in the long run.
