- Assessment and ID
- We confirm ownership and check the vehicle model, year, and immobiliser system.

- Non-Destructive Entry (Where Needed)
- Using advanced lock-picking tools and automotive techniques, we open your Mitsubishi without damage wherever possible.

Mitsubishi Immobiliser And Key Types Explained
Modern Mitsubishis use immobiliser systems designed to prevent theft. Your key or fob contains a small transponder chip that “talks” to the car. If the car doesn’t recognise the chip, it won’t start.
- Transponder keys: Common on older and mid-range models; require cutting and chip programming.
- Remote keys with blade: Combine locking buttons and a flip or fixed blade; need remote pairing plus transponder programming.
- Smart/proximity keys: For push-to-start vehicles like Outlander PHEV and Eclipse Cross; require proximity pairing and immobiliser programming.
- Emergency blades: Some smart keys hide a small backup blade for mechanical entry; we can cut replacements if needed.
We handle all of the above, from key fob replacement and repair to anti-theft programming and vehicle security assessments.

Helpful Signs And Quick Fixes
- Key fob not responding: Try a fresh battery; if it still fails, the fob may need re-soldering or full replacement and programming.
- “Key not detected”: Hold the fob near the start button or designated backup reader (often in the centre console). If it starts, the fob’s transmitter may be weak.
- Central locking only works on the driver’s door: Could be a door actuator or wiring issue; we can diagnose and advise next steps.
- Key won’t turn in ignition: Avoid forcing it; you may have a worn key or ignition barrel problem. We can cut a blade to factory spec and assess the barrel.
For persistent remote problems, see our guide to a faulty key fob. For ignition and lock faults, visit car lock and ignition issues.

FAQs: Mitsubishi Keys And Locks
Can you make a Mitsubishi car key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Mitsubishi key without the original by decoding the lock and using dealer-level diagnostics to program the transponder and remote functions. This is often quicker and more convenient than a dealer. For more details or to compare options, see Car Key Replacement in Maidstone.
Do you offer non-destructive entry on Mitsubishi vehicles?
Wherever possible, yes. We use specialist automotive tools and techniques to open doors and boots without damage. In rare cases with damaged locks or heavy aftermarket security, minimal work may be needed; we’ll explain everything before proceeding.
My Mitsubishi displays “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try holding the fob near the start button or the steering column as a backup. Replace the fob battery. If the issue persists, the key may need reprogramming or the car’s antenna/immobiliser needs attention. Our Car Key Programming service can help.
How long does Mitsubishi key programming take?
Most jobs are completed at the roadside during a single visit. Times vary by model, immobiliser type, and whether we need EEPROM programming. We’ll give you a clear estimate during your call.
Can you program Mitsubishi smart keys for Outlander PHEV?
Yes. We routinely supply and program smart/proximity keys for Outlander and Outlander PHEV, including pairing to the immobiliser and testing push-to-start operation.
Do you cover evenings and weekends for emergencies?
Yes, emergency support is available. If you’re locked out or stranded, please Call 01622 584 280 for immediate assistance or visit our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Maidstone page.
