Door Locks

This triggers a rod that controls the door locks exactly like the turning of the physical key used to do.

Immobiliser
Peugeot was one of the first companies to put an immobiliser in a key. This prevents the vehicle from being started in the event that the key sends the wrong signal to the vehicle.

Only a qualified auto locksmith can do this, but it can save you a lot of time and cash in the long run.
