Peugeot Key Systems by Model Year
Peugeot has run 6 key and immobiliser systems in the United Kingdom, from Philips 33 / ID33 with PCF7930 or PCF7931 on cars of 1996 to 2001 to Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M on 2016 onward.
| Key system | Approximate years | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Philips 33 / ID33 with PCF7930 or PCF7931 | 1996 to 2001 | Used on 106, Partner and Expert of that period |
| Megamos 13 / ID13 then Megamos Crypto 48 / ID48 | 1996 to 2008 | Used on Boxer, which sits on Fiat Ducato architecture |
| Philips Crypto / ID45 with PCF7935 precoded | 1997 to 2001 | Used on 206 and unique in the Peugeot range |
| Hitag 2 / ID46 with PCF7936 | 2000 to 2012 | Used on 106, 206, 207 and 307 of that period |
| Hitag 2 / ID46 with PCF7941, PCF7945A, PCF7953A or PCF7961 | 2007 to 2017 | Used on 308, 508, 2008, 3008, 5008, Partner and Expert of that period |

Year bands overlap, because a manufacturer changes system part way through a model run rather than on the first of January.
Peugeot Key Work Covered From St Albans
Six kinds of Peugeot key work are carried out where the car stands, across the 6 key systems in the table above.
- Replacement Peugeot keys. Cut to the VA2 profile at the vehicle and programmed where the key and the vehicle require it, which is the car key replacement work the St Albans page sets out in full.
- All keys lost on a Peugeot. A key built from the vehicle itself when nothing is left to copy, which on a Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M car is read from the vehicle rather than cut from a code.
- Peugeot lockouts. The VA2 lock is picked or decoded using non destructive entry methods designed to avoid damage to the door, the lock and the glass.
- Spare Peugeot keys. Cut at the vehicle and programmed where the key and the vehicle require it, from a working original, so the Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M system stays as it is.
- Peugeot fob and remote faults. A fob that locks the doors and leaves the engine dead points at the remote rather than the Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M transponder, and both are tested before a key is quoted.
- Peugeot vans and light commercials. Partner, Boxer and Expert are covered on the same visit as car keys.
The Key Blade Used on a Peugeot
The blade is the metal part of the key that turns in the lock or sits inside the fob. On Peugeot the profile is VA2, HU83, NE72, NE78, SX9, HU100 and HU107T, which decides the blank that is cut and the decoder that opens the lock when no working key is left.
- VA2. Used on the Peugeot 508 smart remote key blade and on Peugeot flip remotes old and new.
- HU83. Used on Peugeot 307, on PSA and Opel flip remote keys and on PSA smart remotes.
- NE72. Used on Citroen, Opel, Peugeot, Renault and Vauxhall together.
- NE78. Used on the Peugeot 607 flip remote.
- SX9. Used on Peugeot Partner, Expert and Boxer.
- HU100. Used in the PSA blade profile set.
- HU107T. Used in the PSA blade profile set.
Blade codes are an aftermarket convention rather than Peugeot part numbers, so the blank is checked against the lock on the day.
Peugeot Models Covered Across Hertfordshire
The key system table above is built from 13 Peugeot models, and those are the Peugeot models worked on across St Albans and Hertfordshire. They are 106, 206, 207, 208, 307, 308, 2008, 3008, 5008, 508, Partner, Boxer and Expert.
Peugeot smart keys with Keyless Go carry NCF29A Hitag AES transponders and a body control module immobiliser.
A Peugeot outside this list is checked against the registration rather than assumed either way, because the key system decides the job and the badge does not.
What a Peugeot Key Job Costs
Car keys start from £120 and car lockouts from £100. A Peugeot key sits inside that range or above it according to which of the 6 systems is in the car, because a Philips 33 / ID33 with PCF7930 or PCF7931 key and a Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M key are different parts and different programming.
There is no Peugeot model or year range that is closed to an independent locksmith. Where a particular vehicle turns out to need manufacturer level access, Darius says so on the phone rather than at the kerb.
What Happens When You Call About a Peugeot
Five steps from the first call to a working key.
Contact Darius. The line is answered at any hour.
Give the registration, the model year and the problem. On a Peugeot the year decides which key system is in the car, so it decides the tool.
Take the price and the arrival estimate. The exact price is confirmed before work starts.
Darius attends. He checks authorisation where ownership verification is required.
The work is completed and tested at the vehicle. Any key supplied carries the 12 month warranty.
Who Attends the Peugeot Job
Darius Arbaciauskas attends every job himself. Six years in the trade, over 7,000 car key and lockout jobs, and one locksmith in the business, so the person who quotes the Peugeot work is the person who arrives.
He is approved under the SERMI scheme, DBS checked and fully insured, and every key carries a 12 month warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call 07308 888825Can a Peugeot key be made when every key is lost?
Yes. The lost car key work builds a key from the Peugeot itself, so nothing has to be copied, and it is carried out where the car stands, at a home, a works unit or the roadside. On a Peugeot the job depends on which of the 6 key systems is in the car, which is read from the registration.
How much is a replacement Peugeot key?
Car keys start from £120. A Peugeot key sits inside that range or above it according to the key system, because a Philips 33 / ID33 with PCF7930 or PCF7931 key is a different part from a Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M key and takes different programming. A spare cut from a working key is the cheaper of the two.
Which key system is in my Peugeot?
The model year identifies it. Peugeot ran Philips 33 / ID33 with PCF7930 or PCF7931 on cars of 1996 to 2001, and Hitag AES / ID4A with PCF7953M, PCF7939M or NCF29A1M on 2016 onward. The table on this page lists the 6 systems and the years for each.
Does a Peugeot key have to go to a dealer?
Not on the models covered here. There is no Peugeot model or year range that is closed to an independent locksmith, and Herts Car Keys is approved under the SERMI scheme, which gives an independent a recognised route to manufacturer security data on the makes that take part. Where a particular vehicle turns out to need manufacturer level access, Darius says so on the phone.
Which key blade does a Peugeot use?
Peugeot uses 7. They are VA2, HU83, NE72, NE78, SX9, HU100 and HU107T, and the one on a given car follows the model and the year.
Can a locked Peugeot be opened without breaking anything?
The car is opened using non destructive entry methods designed to avoid damage to the door, the lock and the glass. The method is chosen from the vehicle and the lock rather than applied the same way to every car.
