It's possible to start the evo with a normal key without the chip. I lost my keys before & after proving ownership, the dealer cut me a new key a gave me instructions how to tap in a code using the brake pedal. I drove the car back there to have them program me new key. No need to have the car towed.

 

^ Also worked for me

 

got to work at 7am and i had them in my pocket, and they fell into a rental car that one of my customers was returning

I am not fimiliar with the fob for the evo being my car doesnt have one, but I know with my camaro you program the fob yourself. It is pretty easy but I don't know if it is the same but all you do is start the car with one key, shut it off put the new key in turn to the on position let the car reconize the chip turn it off, put the other key back in start the car, shut it off again, put other key in and turn to crank it it should program itself.

 

Get the Key from ebay and have it cut... Then just Disable your Immobilizer code! IF you really wanna be cheap.

Or you can order the key from ebay have it cut locally and pay the dealer to program it.

 

Never heard that before, how do you do the thing with the brake pedal and what code?

 

It's been about 7 years since I've had to do this, so my memory is pretty fuzzy. The code is unique to each car. Behind the glove box, there's some numbers somewhere that I think are next to a bar code. Dealers have instructions that decode these numbers to give the number of taps of the brake pedal before the car can be started.

 

Bull**** Mitsubishi did it for me

 

oakland mitsubishi did my whole new key for 140, the black plastic part of it broke and they needed to order me a new one. they got it in a couple of days and reprogrammed it. they're better to deal with than san jose -_-
