Mitsubishi Key Replacement And Programming Made Simple
We bring the solution to your location—home, roadside, workplace, or car park—and follow a clear, efficient process:
- Assessment and identification
- We verify your Mitsubishi’s model, year, and key type (basic transponder, remote flip, or smart/proximity).
- We confirm ownership and assess the locks and ignition to rule out mechanical faults.
- Non-destructive vehicle entry where needed
- Locked out? We use specialist picks, air wedges, and lishi tools for non-destructive entry wherever possible.
- In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only safe option (for example, severely damaged locks), we explain the reasons and costs before any work begins.
- Key cutting and transponder programming
- We cut laser or standard keys to OEM specification using high-accuracy electronic key cutting machines.
- We program transponders via OBD2 diagnostics or, for some immobiliser systems, EEPROM/ECU work if security data is required. EEPROM is a method of reading the car’s immobiliser chip data directly when standard programming paths are restricted.
- Remote and smart key setup
- We carry out remote key programming for lock/unlock functions.
- For smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems, we perform keyless entry programming and synchronise the fob with the immobiliser and steering lock (ESL) where applicable.
- Testing and handover
- We fully test door, boot, and glovebox locks; ignition turn; start/stop recognition; and remote functions.
- You’ll receive guidance on caring for your new key and any warranty details.
This approach saves you the time and cost of towing to a main dealer. For many scenarios, a mobile auto locksmith is faster, more convenient, and more affordable than waiting days for a dealer appointment.

Expertise With Mitsubishi Immobiliser Systems
Mitsubishi vehicles use a variety of immobiliser setups depending on the model and year. You might hear terms like “transponder,” “chip key,” or “immobiliser pairing.” In plain English:
- The transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If they don’t match, the car won’t start.
- On proximity keys, the car detects the fob via antennas; if communication fails, you may see “key not detected” or a key symbol on the dash.
- We use OBD2 programming on many models; if immobiliser data is locked down, we can extract and program data at chip level using EEPROM techniques. This is the same depth of work a dealer does—but delivered to your roadside.
We support current and recent models (including 2024/2025) and understand Mitsubishi-specific quirks such as steering lock sync on some platforms, remote pairing sequences, and battery management on PHEV systems that can confuse key detection after a low-voltage event.

FAQs
Can you make a Mitsubishi car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Mitsubishi key from your vehicle using the VIN, lock/ignition code, and immobiliser data. We then program the transponder via OBD2 or, if required, perform EEPROM data work. This is a common service when keys are lost or stolen.
Do I need to tow my Mitsubishi to the dealer for key programming?
Usually not. Our mobile service offers dealer-level key programming at your location, which is typically faster and more convenient than a dealer visit. Many customers choose us as an alternative to dealer key replacement in South West London.
Will you damage my Mitsubishi when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or a previous attempt has compromised it, we will explain any necessary invasive steps and get your permission before proceeding.
How long does Mitsubishi key replacement take?
For most models, we complete cutting and programming in a single visit. The time can vary depending on the model, key type (transponder vs smart key), and immobiliser complexity, but the goal is to have you back on the road as quickly as possible.
Can you erase stolen Mitsubishi keys so they no longer work?
Yes. On most models we can remove lost or stolen keys from the ECU/immobiliser so they cannot start the vehicle, and supply and program new keys for you.
Do you provide spare Mitsubishi keys and duplicates?
Absolutely. Adding a spare is often the most cost-effective choice to prevent future emergencies. We offer on-site cutting and programming for spare Mitsubishi keys.
