Yep,havnt seen them for about 3 weeks now.
Ive got the key number? from the Vin bit not sure what the next step is.Can enyone guide me please?
PS,its a TE 1997 altera

Not sure how to help but just giving heads this could be costly, i used to work in car sales and if a customer lost there keys and spares it would result in locks being changed.

I have the code to get the key cut but its the elec side of it im not sure about.

you go to mitsubishi and order a new key its around $110 and then there program it but the car has to be there with the key i tow my there done in 5 minus.

Keys can be ordered from Mits, I can arrange this also for you, depending where you are located I can also arrange a tow to here so I can code the new key / keys for you

As a guide, a new key will cost $140 including programming to your car, if you are not too far I may be able to arrange to come to yours to programme as well ( fee would depend on how far I have to come of course)

Well im in Romsey 3434,work out a price to get me up and running and shoot me a PM please.Thanks mate.

Sorry mate, it is nearly 2 hours each way to Romsey, cost would be more than getting it towed I think, you may be best to contact your nearest dealership

I had to do this with a TH magna recently.

Got the key code from Mits over the phone by giving them the vin and owners details. Took the code to Ruswins, who were able to cut a chipped key for $94, but then I had to tow the car to them, so they could code the key to the car which cost another $80.

Ruswins could have come to the car, but that would have cost another $80 for the call out, then the $80 for the coding, plus half an hour of a mechs time for the coding, which they reckoned was $40.

Thanks mate,i will look into it.

Thanks guys,My nearest dealer isnt too far away so it looks like i will tow it there

On each of my vehicles, I have a spare coded key 'hidden' inside the car. I also have a non-coded key wired underneath the car where I can reach it in an emergency (Should I lose my keys away from home). At least I can then get inside the car without damaging it and then drive home. This saves the cost of getting a tow to my friendly Mits dealer. At least if we are in Woop Woop and lose the keys, we are not stuck there.

If you're comprehensively insured..

Sometimes its cheaper to go that way.. Just a heads up!

SuFz :ninja:

I have my spare key at home. If I happen to lose my key it's no biggie, I just have to organise a ride to and from home and grab the spare.

a couple of years ago when i had my ralliart magna i called into mitsu to order a spare key for the car as i only had one.. a week later it was ready. i walked in, picked the key up, and that was it.. they never came anywhere near the car and the new and old key worked.. to this day i dont understand how they managed that????

Magic?
Or maybe they had all the details of the car to code it in without the car being present?

Just a guess.

That is strange as it is the car that is coded, not the key

can they make a copy of the key with the exact same code, so the car sees both the keys as the same one?

i believe you can get that done from your local key cutting place. most have a machine that can read the code from the original key and copy it over to a new key.. dunno if it works for magna keys though?
