Well either I lost my keys at work today or someone is playing a prank on me..! When I went to lock up my shop, I couldn't find my keys, spent over an hour looking for them and nothing!!! And when I bought my car from the dealership it only came with one key..! So at this point I'm going to have to buy new keys and key fobs. I called capitol mitsubishi in san jose and the service advisor that I was talking to didn't know ****.

Whats the cost of a new key and key fob?

 

I have a 05 RS and for just the key, my dealer want $90 (including programming the chip).

 

Only having one key =

Losing that key =

Honestly, I have seen blanks all over the internet but between the immobilizer and the fact that you dont have a way to match the cut, it sounds like your just going to have to fork up the 90 buck. Sorry for the bad luck, I HATE losing keys.

Good luck

 

and let me guess i have to tow my car to the dealership aswell.?

 

Good luck with that bud

 

You shouldn't to get it towed. We had a customer lock his keys in the car before and a he ended up getting a locksmith to get them out. Otherwise you can go to the dealer with a copy of your registration or title and they'll cut you a key.

 

My local dealer quoted me $160 for a new fob...

 

Fob won't do the trick since it has to be programmed to the car.

 

well my keys aren't in my car...! I work at honda and when our customers lose their keys they have to get their cars towed in and key new keys and have our HDS machine program it..! I don't know if mitsubishi you just have to cut the key and the parts department can program it?

 

Ah, I assumed you locked yourself out. They should be able to cut & program your key without needing the car there.

 

I'm 99% sure they can cut you a new key with your vin number and proof of ownership.

 

I could be wrong here but can't you disable the imobilizer? That way you wouldn't have to program the new key? Thinking out loud here

 

yeah i'm sure that they can cut and code a key to my car, im just hoping that i don't have to tow my car to the dealership..!

 

man i wish you the best of luck!

 

My local stealership told me the car has to be there for them to program the chip.
