Replacement FAST key
Just buy a new one online from someplace like this:

And program it:
Not too bad really. Makes you worry about how secure FAST isn't but hey.....

And program it:
Hey guys, the manual can be highly confusing if you don't read it to the T.
Here is the correct way to do it (just like the manual says, except without the chinglish):
step1: sit in the drivers seat with your key inside with you.
step2: make sure the car is off
step3: turn your headlight switch off if it is on
step4: open the drivers door
this is where it gets confusing to people. you must do this whole process after 4 seconds of step 5, but before 10 seconds is up.
step5: hold down the lock button on your FAST keyfob for a little past 4 seconds
step6: while still holding the lock button down, ALSO begin holding the unlock button down on the FAST keyfob
step7: RELEASE your thumb/finger from the lock button FIRSTLY
step8: RELEASE your thumb/finger from the unlock button SECONDLY
step9: you'll hear a beep corresponding the the program mode you selected. in this case it just alternates between the two.
It matters which button you release firstly and secondly, and you must do the process before 10 seconds is up, but begin it after 4 seconds.

Got the replacement but no matter what I try, directions from their site, or provided here it doesn't work. Reading the manual it says you need to have both FAST keys to program a third which defeats the purpose of replacing a key from this vendor.
I called King Mitsubishi dealer in Maryland and they quoted me $320 for the transponder, $25 for the cut key, and $100 for programming, beside a 50 mile round trip for me.
If I lose my only remaining key I'm pretty screwed.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, I just looked and you need both keys to add a 3rd key. I did find this post and it might be worth a try.
But, if you take that spare to King and just tell the service advisor that one stopped working, they should reprogram both keys for you for $100 That doesn't solve getting the blank cut but any decent locksmith shop can do that part. When we got my Wife's RA one of the keys didn't work right off the bat and they had to have both keys to reprogram the one. Fickle cars.
