I lost one of my fast keys and wanted a backup. I wanted a backup key just in case and was wondering if i bought one off ebay could I get it reprogrammed at the stealership or do I have to order a key from the stealership? Please let me know. Thanks!

 

Who would sell their extra key to their car on Ebay? I would think you 'd have to go to the dealership to get that repleaced...

 

I'm pretty sure it's in the manual on how to program it yourself. I may be mistaken but I think I remember reading how to do it.

 

The key reprograming in the manual is if you replace the battery in your car. Its not for a totally new key.
I would call mitsu and the dealership just to see what they say.
You might be S.O.L on this and have to buy a new one. They are pricey.

 

Very pricey...

I'm wondering if they can be reprogrammed to open/close windows

 

Just a newbie question does no one ever go back to where they brought the car and dropped 30-40 K and say hey cut me a deal on a new key ?
That's what I did. Dropped the car in for its next scheduled free service and hey came out with new key in glove box.

 

the car should have come with 2 keys in the first place

 

i sold my extra key on ebay to my old '00 cougar. i told the dealer i only had one set and sold my extra set for 30 bucks on ebay

 

Yes...it did until it fell out of my jacket pocket one day while on the bus Now I only have one!

 

why are you taking the bus when you could drive the x? jk, if anything contact southcoast they offer 35% off oem parts

 

im not 100% sure. but if you program and key to a newer model mitsu. then that key can only ever be used for that vehicle. so i wouldnt buy one online if i were you.

 

i think you also have to have the stealership to deprogram the lost key? i mean wouldn't the car have some info about the key and not just the key? so you should just going and request a replacement (try to get it for free. if you ask you might get, but if you don't, you never will)

best way to not lose your fast key

hang it on your neck (lanyard) lol
