C3, C4, Berlingo & Dispatch — BSI Programming On Site
Citroën and Peugeot share the same Stellantis (PSA) platform — which means every Citroën from the C3 to the Berlingo uses the same BSI (Body Systems Interface) module as the Peugeot equivalent. Aaron’s Autel IM508 communicates with the Citroën BSI via OBD on site, registering new keys without dealer involvement.
Citroën uses three blade profiles across its range: SX9 on older models (C2, C3 Mk1, older Berlingo), VA2 on mid-era models (C4 Mk1/Mk2, Berlingo B9), and HU83 on all current models (C3, C4, C5 X, Berlingo K9). Transponders are PCF7936 ID46 on most models and Hitag 3 on the current K9 Berlingo and C5 X.
The Citroën Berlingo is one of the most common small commercial vans across South Yorkshire — a favourite of tradespeople, couriers and small business owners. Aaron carries Berlingo blanks (B9 and K9 generations) as standard. The Citroën Dispatch and Spacetourer use the same HU83 and BSI system as the Peugeot Expert and Traveller.
No VAT on any Citroën job. No call-out fee. Aaron confirms your Citroën's BSI version and blade before setting off. Berlingo blanks carried for both B9 and K9.

“C3 all keys lost in Barnsley. Aaron came out within 30 minutes and had it sorted via the BSI on site. Two new keys coded. No VAT — brilliant.”

Very grateful for AH Autokeys work. He did a fantastic job for me. I locked my car and house keys in my car boot at gone 11pm at night when I was out alone, I had 6% phone battery, called the first person I found on Google, only to find out he wasn’t local. Despite this though, he still agreed to drive out 50mins to help. The car was unlocked door in no time but the boot wasn’t accessible from the inside and the car was too old to be opened electronically. He spent a long time trying to unlock the car boot. After a while, I was worried he might give up and say it can’t be done. He persevered though and finally managed to retrieve my keys. If I’d called somebody else, maybe they’d have given up on it so I’m really grateful that he stuck with it for me! I hope I never have to use the service again, but if I find myself in this boat in the future, this will be the first place I call. I can’t recommend enough. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

Citroën BSI & Blade Guide — Same Stellantis System as Peugeot
Citroën and Peugeot share the same BSI (Body Systems Interface) — the central key management module on all PSA/Stellantis vehicles. Every Citroën key must be registered to the BSI via OBD. Aaron’s Autel IM508 handles all BSI versions on site.
| Citroën Model / Era | Blade | Transponder | BSI Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| C2 / C3 Mk1 / older Berlingo | SX9 | PCF7936 ID46 | BSI v1. Older PSA. SX9 blade. Autel IM508. |
| C4 Mk1 / Berlingo B9 (van) | VA2 | PCF7936 ID46 | BSI v2. VA2 blade. High Berlingo volume. |
| C3 Mk2 / C4 Mk2 | VA2 / HU83 | PCF7936 ID46 | Transitional era. Confirm blade from reg. |
| C3 Mk3 / C4 Mk3 / C5 X | HU83 | PCF7936 / Hitag 3 | Current Stellantis BSI v4. HU83 blade. |
| Berlingo K9 (2018+) | HU83 | PCF7936 / Hitag 3 | Current gen. HU83. BSI v4. Blanks carried. |
| Dispatch / Spacetourer | HU83 | PCF7936 / Hitag 3 | Same as Peugeot Expert/Traveller. |
| C1 (pre-2014) | SX9/TOY43 | PCF7936 ID46 | Shared Toyota Aygo platform. SX9 or TOY43. |
Platform note: Citroën and Peugeot BSI programming is identical — same module, same OBD protocol, same Autel IM508 approach. Aaron’s experience with Peugeot BSI (documented Boxer job) transfers directly to every Citroën on this list.
