there's a little graphic on the medal keye part of what to do in case you ever forget

 

thanks for the pics bro, i tried it and it worked haha

 

Does anyone know the part # for the newer version of the key?
My keys have lost their programming twice already.

 

This has been a very helpful thread. Thanks for the info everyone!

 

Yeah my key works half of the time. It drives me CRAZY specially when it doesn't want to start the car.

 

its really funny how many mitsus get towed in cuz no1 tells the customer how to start it manually.

 

so the key doesn't 'lock' into place; right? i noticed the pic on the metal key a while back, but i thoguht it was weird it didn't lock back into place

 

no it doesnt lock. technically you dont even have to slide the key into the fob. no need to take the key off your key ring and slide it in. just hold the key and fob in that position, doesnt have to be perfect.

 

So are there updated fobs available from Mitsu or not?

 

The service manager's exact words were "There is a new part". I will only know when I go to pick up the vehicle. I had to leave the car in maryland and return to Philly in my dad's car. I will be returning this friday to pick up the car and will update the thread after checking with the manager there.

 

Thanks!...can you also find out if it's a voluntary replacement, or if a key has to fail first to be considered eligible for replacement?

 

sure

 

It's printed in the owner's manual and stamped on the key itself.

 

both of fob keys did the same thing mitsu had my car for a week tring to fix it. that had to order me 2 new keys

 

Please dont rub it in, I feel bad enough as it is.
