I had everything working after being stripped from the Ion then once I had transplanted the items into the 205 nothing worked. I am transplanting a written off Ion drive train, ignition barrel, batteries et al into a Peugeot 205. Do not think of the Ion or C-Zero as a Peugeot or Citroen, I have had countless offers of people saying they can help but not really understanding the entire car is built by Mitsubishi and as such any knowledge of other manufacturers implementations is irrelevant.

This is in contrast to Peugeot and Citroen who usually do. The remote locking part operating at the UK standard 433.92Mhz and the immobilizer implemented using the standard 125khz RFID “barrel ring” setup.Ĭontrary to popular understanding Mitsubishi do not include transponder data in a Body Control Unit (BCU). The vehicle we worked on had an industry standard RKE implementation. The car has a relatively standard security implementation. The Peugeot Ion AKA Mitsubishi i-Miev & Citroen C-Zero is an electric car that was built for both Peugeot and Citroen by Mitsubishi motors. I appreciate most readers wont expect me to publish a failure story but a huge amount of time I spend working on projects is failure after failure, without writing the failures down myself and others could replicate the failure and that’s not a good path to progress. I will hopefully explain a bit about the security architecture and I will also my discoveries and some “pro tips” for not getting yourself in the same pickle as me. In this post I’m going to document our attempts and ultimately our failure to clone a Mitsubishi i-Mievs Immobilizer system EEPROMs from one car to another. Duncan runs Fobfix and if you need an immobilizer fix, replacement key or secondary key you should definitely check out Fobfix’s store. This was a journey I went on with Duncan, Duncan deserves the props for the technical understanding of the car security, I was just the wrench monkey and author.
