Citroen Locksmith

If you have a problem with your Citroen immobiliser then we can help you. And usually for much less than the dealer will charge.

Simply post us your immobiliser box. Then we will recode the box and post it back to you fully working. Also, if you have lost your Citroen car key (or keys) or just need a replacement key then send us the ignition or door barrel so we can decode the barrel and cut another key from it. (If you have different keys for ignition and door you will have to send us both barrels.)

The Citroen immobiliser systems consist of 4 different types. They all perform various functions.

IMM - STANDARD IMMOBILISER

This system was the first transponder system fitted to the Citroen range of vehicles, after the keypad system was phased out. The system is a basic electronic control unit which consists of immobiliser unit and transponder aerial to pick up the transponder signal code.

This system is similar to the Vauxhall Immobiliser system, and is programmed and diagnosed in much the same way.

CPH - PASSENGER COMPARTMENT PROTECTION CONTROL UNIT

The next generation of immobiliser and alarm system produced was the CPH system, which controls a number of additional components which further enhances the vehicle protection system. These include central door locking and ultrasonic sensors.

BSI - BODY SYSTEMS INTERFACE

In this system, the alarm and immobiliser have now been incorporated into the body control unit, which controls all body units, including wipers, indicators, lights, doors, windows, locks, boot, service interval, horn, etc.

CAN - CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK

This is the latest system that still uses the BSI as described above but in addition communicates via CAN rather than the traditional serial communications interface.
