That's a good question. did you only get 1 key from the dealer? or did you buy it used?

 

bought it used -_-;;

i kinda searched but never got the answer i wanted

I am not sure about the immobilizer, however if you just want another physical (as in mechanical) key cut you can just go to the dealership and (have your VIN# and driver's license + registration ready) them cut you a new one for like $5.00

 

Here is how it works. You buy a new key and have it cut. We then take our scan tool and enable the system to read the new key and the old key,then the immobilizer will become active on that key.

Mitsu doesn not make a key blank for the EVO without an immobilizer chip in it.

 

question here is~!

---------------------------

would it effect my dynoFlash tune??

thanx

They are not the same system and no it doesn't affect it.

 

I had to pay 80 bucks for a new key because they said they only had the one key they gave me, then two days later got a key in the mail from them. i was pissed. i had to have another becasue of my alarm system is what the installer said

 

I dont think a transponder key can be cut for $5.00. On mitsubishiparts.net the key alone is almost $25 (MR587430). I bought two keys off the website and now have a total of 4 working keys. What I did was I went down to the local locksmith who had a scantool, cut and program my two extra keys.

 

It won't affect the flash. One thing, what happened to the other key. Make sure he is not hiding it because he can steal your car back.

 

make sure you get the other key from the person you bought it from. Evos come with two keys.

 

Don't panic dude. When you get the new key programmed the others keys will be locked out. They won't work anymore.

 

i always uses clutch lock ^^

 

I say again, it doesn't matter if there are 10 guys with keys to your car. When you program the new keys it ELECTRONICALLY locks the other keys out. the only keys that will start the car are the ones that were programmed LAST.

 

They might not be able to drive off in your car, but whats to stop them from getting in and poppin the hood?
