Mitsubishi Key Programming
Modern Mitsubishi keys contain a transponder chip that must be matched to the vehicle’s ECU. We use advanced OBD2 and EEPROM programming tools to sync new keys, erase lost ones, and even recover access when all keys are missing. Whether you have a standard remote key, a high-security smart key, or a factory proximity fob, our Mitsubishi key programming service gets it working. Find out how key programming works.

FAQs about Mitsubishi Car Keys and Locks
How much does a Mitsubishi car key replacement cost in St Albans?
The cost depends on your model, the key type (remote fob, smart key, or basic transponder), and whether we need to code the key from scratch using EEPROM. We never give a one-size-fits-all price, but we’ll always provide a clear, no-obligation quote over the phone before starting any work. Call us for a free estimate today.
Can a locksmith make a Mitsubishi key without the original?
Yes, absolutely. If you’ve lost all your Mitsubishi keys, we can create a new one and program it to your car’s immobiliser. This requires accessing the vehicle’s security data via the OBD port or by working directly on the immobiliser module, but it’s a service we perform regularly for Mitsubishi models across St Albans.
My Mitsubishi key fob is not working – what should I do?
First, try replacing the battery. If that doesn’t work, the fob may need reprogramming, or the internal circuit board could be damaged. We can test your fob’s signal, repair it, or supply a fully programmed replacement on the spot.
Do you replace Mitsubishi smart keys?
Yes. Whether you have the Mitsubishi FAST-key system (proximity key) or a push-button start dependant, we can replace, clone, or program a new one without you needing to visit a dealership. Our equipment covers all Mitsubishi security iterations.
How long does it take to program a Mitsubishi key?
Most simple key programming jobs take 15–30 minutes. Creating a new key from scratch when none are present can take up to an hour, depending on the model year and immobiliser type. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you call.
Will you come to my location if I’m outside St Albans?
Yes, our mobile auto locksmiths cover the entire AL postcode area and frequently travel to Welwyn Garden City, Wheathampstead, Redbourn, and further afield. If you’re unsure, give us a ring – we’ll confirm coverage immediately.
