plip is the remote

all you do is get the correct key, get blade cut, acquire 4 digit pin if you dont have it, use planet to program key, sync the remote after programming

 

Gotcha...............But does PLIP actually stand for anything?


Like Planet Lobotomy Inter-cranial Peugeot ?

 

Earliest use found in The Times. Shortened from the name of Paul Lipschutz, French inventor who designed the system in 1978.

 

Probably Locks In Pocket.......

 

It means 'a small handheld device the remotely locks a vehicle'. Plip is a word not an acronym apparently.

 

It stands for
Pure
Loony
In
Peugeot

Interesting suggestions.

I had previously always ..wrongly it seems.. assumed it was a made-up word deriving from the sound that happens when you lock/unlock your car with the remote, like "shush" or "ding"....

 

Storeman is actually correct the person he mentioned works/worked for neiman who make locks and the plip system was actually his creation and also used in renaults the first versions used a simple system that could be programmed using solder links i still have 1 here from an espace.

These were used in the first espaces and clios renault 21 25 also 205 405 505 citroen bx etc and these were the first to be called plip i believe it is part of his name that the name came from i remember a discussion about it many years ago on the matra forum
