please help, I lost my ignition key

[tonibrillianto]

Hi everyone,

My name is Toni, from Indonesia.
I have a 2002 Peugeot 206 sporty, but I lost the ignition key.
my problem is which type of my ignition key? 433MHz or 434mhz?
I need your Help guys, how do i find out.
Sorry about my english, Thanks Before.

There are more ads for 433MHz so if I had to take a guess........

You might be lucky.

There again....... you might not.

[tonibrillianto]

is there any way other than guessing?

[EdmundIJones]

This may help to make an educated guess:

The important thing is that your car is in Indonesia, now, was the car imported originally or was it sold via Peugeot in Indonesia?

"In the UK and Europe, RKE key fobs typically transmit on 433.92MHz whilst in the US and Japan 315MHz is used. These frequencies are used as they are one of the few bands in the frequency spectrum where no licence is required to transmit. 433.92MHz happens to be the centre of this band, hence the slightly odd frequency."

If you really don't want to guess you could do this:
"If you set a spectrum analyser up with a 0Hz span centred on 433.92MHz, you can press the fob buttons near the analyser input and see the data that's being transmitted." - but as you lost the key, you can't.

[tonibrillianto]

yes it sold via peugeot indonesia.

[EdmundIJones]

Can you find out from Peugeot Indonesia if it was a US spec or European spec?

[tonibrillianto]

Of course I can get it, but they're expensive. on the other hand, ebay selling at a cheaper price.
so if i could know the specification, I would like to buy it from ebay. but so far no solution yet

[tonibrillianto]

fortunately I still have the backup key, but there is no remote control

You'd still need to get the immobiliser chip for your car and the key programmed to the BSI unit.

[tonibrillianto]

Sure, but I'll find it all on ebay, (key with chip & remote)
it's okay, I can come to unofficial workshop peugeot specialists for the BSI programmed thing.

[gazza82]

There are two or three different keys for your car available .. I know, we have a 2001 CC and I tried to get a second key but the PCB inside is different in the two we have. The one I bought won't connect to the BSI unit but the immobiliser is OK and it opens the doors and starts. I can't use the remote on it though.

Your problem will be knowing which one you HAD ...

[tonibrillianto]

mine is 2002 peugeot 206 sporty.
anyway,maybe the frequency your remote doesn't match with your car.

[gazza82]

Possibly. But the problem is finding the right key on ebay ... most sellers won't know either and unless they are willing to open up the case and check you could end up with a selection of keys none of which work!

[tonibrillianto]

finally is I have come to the official Peugeot workshop and spend a lot of money for the ignition key, because the price is more expensive in Indonesia.
Anyway.....I'm still waiting for advice from all of you folks

I think Gazza has given you all the help he can, given what he has to go on.
Your choice seems to be to keep buying different keys in the hope that you eventually get one that can be made to work, or you go to Peugeot and get the right one first time, which may be cheaper in the long run. Can your unofficial Peugeot garage get you the right one?
