Mitsubishi Key Replacement

Mitsubishi Key Replacement in San Jose

Mitsubishi vehicles use a range of key types depending on the model and year. Older models often take a basic transponder key with a chip in the head, while many sedans and SUVs use a remote head key or flip-style key that combines the cut blade with lock, unlock, and trunk buttons. Newer trims with push-to-start use a proximity smart key (FOB) that lets you start the engine without inserting anything, as long as the fob is inside the cabin.

Like most modern cars, Mitsubishi uses an immobilizer anti-theft system: the engine will only start when it reads a correctly programmed chip or fob. That means a freshly cut key is not enough on its own. It also has to be electronically programmed to your specific vehicle. We see plenty of Mitsubishi models on South Bay roads, including the Outlander, Outlander Sport, Eclipse Cross, Mirage, and Lancer.
