Security

Citroen cars are built with a high degree of security measures to protect against theft. These security measures are primarily made up of a transponder in the car key.

This kind of key isn't available from a dealer and requires more work to program, including eeprom programming (extra data and security codes need to be extracted from the van's ECU or immobiliser and written into the transponder). This is a very specialised procedure and is only carried out by a handful of auto-locksmiths.
