iv just been givven a key fob with buttons on Smile now does any1 know how to pair it with the car and if il have to change ignition to match key only want it to unlock?
first of all is in infra-red or remote?

secondly, you can change the keys easily - on the key there are 3? small screws, just take it apart, change keys over - done..

Key Program Wrote:Notes:

The Peugeot 306 had three phases:

1993 - Phase 1 - Identifiable by louvred front grille. Remote type is Infra red with an LED on the fob. Immobilser is via keypad inside vehicle (unless most basic model).

1997 (late) - Phase 2 - Identifiable by one piece grill and lower bumpers now body coloured. The remote type is infra red with an LED on the fob. The remote, although similar in operation to the phase 1, now contains a transponder chip for the immobiliser. The casing of the remote fob is also slightly thicker than the phase 1.
1999 - Phase 3 - Identifiable by completely colour coded bumpers. The remote type is now Radio Frequency (RF). There is no LED on the remote fob.

306 PLIP PROGRAMMING (For Infra Red Model Only*)

This procedure will work with any 306 Infra Red fob, either originally supplied with vehicle, new or secondhand from another 306.

1. Turn the Ignition switch to the accessory position using the key without the remote plip attached.

2. Hold the Plip key close to the central locking receiver mounted in the roof console.

3. Press the large plip button and then the small plip button on the remote.

4. Repeat for second Plip key if required.

5. Turn the ignition OFF.

6. After 5 seconds the Plip should now operate.



306 PLIP RE-SYNCHING (For RF models only)

For late RF model keys if your remote should stop working (due to changing the battery or pressing the remote too many times out of range) you can try re-synchronising it by doing the following (note - must be original fob supplied with vehicle):

1.Switch off the ignition

2. Switch on the ignition

3. Immediately after switching on the ignition, press the large remote button

4. The remote should now be working again.

* Peugeot used the Infra Red (IR) Key system on the 306 between 1993 and 1999 (Phase 1 & 2). On the IR system you can reprogram your existing key or a new or secondhand key from another 306 model with the above instructions. On the phase 3 model of the Peugeot 306 (1999/2000), a wireless RF system was introduced where the key does not need to be pointed at the receiver in the car. These later wireless remotes can be re-synchronised if they are the original remote supplied with the vehicle but new remotes or ones from other cars must be reprogrammed by a specialist.

The Infra Red remote is easily recognisable by the clear bulb near the key blade. There are two types of casing one slightly thicker (phase 2) than the other. The thicker phase 2 key remote houses a transponder chip as well.

** Note that the above procedure only programs/reprograms the remote part of the key, it will not reprogram the transponder in the key to disable the immobiliser. Phase 2 Peugeot 306s onwards a transponder system was introduced into the key.
yea 1 screw lol but i could do it but how would i get it to unlock car iv got it in bits it has a led on it :S

read above - depending on what car you have, will depend on how you link the car and the fob.

Sounds like you have an IR (InfraRed) fob which is eassyyy to do!

and so it seems as if you have the wrong fob then - phase 1's are IR, others are remoted i believe.
fob n car
does it have an LED at the end??
is it phase 3 and what type of fob is it im rubbish with electrics Sad
yea it does
That is an infared remote, as the radiowave remote doesn't have the red led on top
Ph2 so infra red. Easy to reprogram.
does it match my car?
brettw1 Wrote:does it match my car?

no... you've got a phase 3 car... the IR remotes are easy to install, but you have a phase 3 ( going from your pictures) which run remote fobs.
can i buy 1? n u know how much? im sad now :'(
when did they change from a ph2 to a ph3? was it on the s reg?

could also be a "custom" plate with few digits...
Do you have a Ir sensor by the interior light? If you need the the Rf fob the only way to code a new fob is with peugeot planet, that guide will only re-sync an original key

That car up there^^ is a ph2
if its just buttons you're after, either switch them over, AFAIK they'll swap out, and if not, you can get a set of the 'bay for around a fiver or summat

Really a T reg '98 Ph3??...........with ph2 rub strips?! think about it, its just another ph2 pretending to be a ph3 as normal, another simple check, is it HDi? if not its a phase 2 Wink

It would also have the IR receiver infront of the light if its ph2!
no d-tub
i dont know any of its history either Sad
brettw1 Wrote:no d-tub

It also has the orange ph2 side repeaters, I would say that its almost certainly a ph2! you got a pic of the back??

Edit:- Ok seen it in the paint thread, it has the plastic strip along the bottom of the boot lid too so its not even a ph2.5 crossover car, its a ph2 100%

You got one of the interior light unit above the rear view mirror?
look on my 'paint' post iv just put sum up Smile
brettw1 Wrote:look on my 'paint' post iv just put sum up Smile
