Hello, I just got a 02 lancer ES, I tried to get a double made of the master key, they said they didnt have the key instock, but that there might be a "chip" in the key... is there? thanks

My '02 ES key is all metal, so I'm 100% sure there is no chip on it. Also, with remote start and the 'chipped' keys you just need to tape the spare near the ignition. Not the safest route, but it's the cheapest.
