Even the most robust systems are vulnerable if they're targeted in the right way. In one study conducted by researcher Jan Bokslag used known weaknesses in the Hitag2 immobilizer protocol to hack three cars which were all older models. Within ten seconds, a vehicle security code was retrieved from one of them. This information is used to create an ignition key that disables the immobilizer. The other two keys were harder to break but they did be broken.
The Immobilizer Chip
A key with a chip (often known as a Smart Key) has an RFID micro-chip inside it that transmits a passcode to the car's immobilizer system. If the code in a chip matches that of the car's immobilizer, the car will start.
This is an important anti-theft device that prevents thieves from hotwiring or bypassing the immobilizer system of the engine. If the immobilizer does not recognize the key, it won't allow the engine to turn on regardless of whether someone tries to short-circuit the ignition circuit.
Modern cars come with the latest electronic Engine Immobilizers that use rolling/changing codes. This means that each time a key is used, the system alters the second code, and then pushes it into the chip in the key. The first code is permanent when the key is turned on in the ignition, the immobilizer process the two codes to determine if the two codes match.

This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the higher end 205s.
