Mitsubishi Lancer Key Replacement by Year and Key Type
Lancer key systems vary by model year and trim, so the key’s appearance alone may not identify what your car needs. Car key replacement starts from $110, and key fob programming starts from $70.
2002–2007 | Transponder key
These Lancers generally use a cut key with an electronic security component. A replacement needs to match the car’s key system, not just the shape of the original.
2008–2017 | Transponder key or keyless fob
Later Lancers use transponder keys, with keyless fobs on some trims. The right Mitsubishi Lancer key fob replacement depends on the model year and trim, so tell us both when you call.
What Changes When Your Lancer Has One Key or No Keys
A working key changes what we need to do at the vehicle. We make keys on site when all keys are lost, and can also provide key fob programming when the Lancer’s setup calls for it.
You still have one working key
Tell us whether it starts the Lancer and whether its buttons work. That helps distinguish a key-copy request from a fob or programming issue; a spare can also give a second driver their own key.
Every key is gone
We make a new car key at the vehicle when all keys are lost. Share the year and trim so we can identify the appropriate service for your Lancer before heading out.

Three Details That Help Us Replace Your Lancer Key
These details help us tell whether you need a mechanical key, a fob, or programming for the Lancer.
- Find the model year and trim — The Lancer’s key system can differ by year and trim. If you are unsure of the trim, give us the year and the details you can read from the vehicle.
- Check what still works — Tell us whether you have a working key, whether it starts the car, and whether the fob buttons respond. Those details help separate a worn key from a replacement or programming need.
- Describe where the Lancer is parked — We are a mobile locksmith and come to the vehicle. In San Luis Obispo, arrival is within 15 minutes; for a Lancer outside the city, we send the next free locksmith.
Lancer Commuters, Sportback Owners, and Shared Keys
The Mitsubishi Lancer has served as a compact daily-driver sedan, and some model years also offered a Sportback body style. Its range included everyday trims as well as sport-focused versions such as the Ralliart and Lancer Evolution, so owners may have different key and fob setups.
A commuter who relies on one key may want a spare before that key wears out or goes missing. When two people share a Lancer, a second working key means each driver can keep one; tell us whether you need another key or a complete Mitsubishi key replacement. For a Lancer that will not open, our car lockout service comes to the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help if my Mitsubishi Lancer is stuck away from home?
Yes. We bring mobile locksmith service to your Lancer, and we are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Within San Luis Obispo, arrival is within 15 minutes; farther out, we send the next free locksmith.
What should I do about a Lancer key that is worn, cracked, or sticks in the ignition?
Tell us whether the key still starts the car and whether it turns smoothly. Wear or a crack can make a key unreliable, while sticking may also involve the ignition; avoid forcing it, since a damaged key can break.
How long does Mitsubishi Lancer key fob replacement take at the car?
The time at the vehicle depends on the Lancer’s year and trim and whether you have a working key. A key replacement and Mitsubishi Lancer key fob programming may involve different work, so give us those details when you call.
Can two drivers share one Mitsubishi Lancer key fob?
They can share a working fob, but each driver has to hand it off when using the car. A second programmed key or fob lets both drivers keep one; tell us the Lancer’s year, trim, and whether the current fob works.
