Peugeot 207 antenna issue

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2009 Peugeot 207 (gasoline engine, 285113 km). I'm getting an error stored in the memory, the unlocking/locking isn't working right, and I can't start the engine without the key in the ignition. I suspect it's the bumper antenna. Anyone seen this before?

Greetings. I have a Peugeot 207 and experienced similar symptoms not long ago. Before going deeper, I would suggest checking the antenna cable and plug connections. A defective connection there seems like a potential culprit considering the symptoms you described. Intermittent connectivity can wreak havoc on the system.

Thanks. I checked the connections and they seem ok visually. Did you experience the exact same combination of issues - error code, locking, and starting problems? Was it definitely the antenna connection in your case?

Yes, those were indeed the precise symptoms I observed. I initially attempted a visual inspection as well, but it turned out the corrosion was subtle enough to be missed initially. It would be prudent to have the car assessed by a qualified workshop that can properly diagnose and rectify the matter. Ignoring it might lead to further complications within the electrical system.

Took your advice and went to the workshop. Turns out it was indeed a defective antenna cable/plug like you suggested. 95€ later and everything is working perfectly again. Thanks for the help!
