Automotive Keys 2000-2000 Mitsubishi - MIT9 - Transponder Key Vancouver

A single model year gets its own listing here because Mitsubishi's 2000 model year sits at a chip changeover. This ILCO key uses the MIT9 blade and carries a Texas 4D60 80-bit transponder, which is the chip the immobiliser on those cars expects. A key with a different 4D chip on the same blade will turn the ignition and fail to start the engine. The MIT9 is a fairly long, edge-cut Mitsubishi blade. If you have the old key, compare the length and the groove pattern with the photos. Mitsubishi's year coding can be confusing, so tell us the model, the year on your registration and, if possible, the VIN; ask us to confirm for your trim/year before ordering. The work itself: we cut the MIT9 blade from your key or from code, then register the 4D60 chip with the car using our programmer, which needs the vehicle at the shop or at your location. Expect us to ask for proof of ownership and photo ID. A good habit with cars of this age is keeping two working keys. Single-key owners tend to discover the last one has cracked at the worst possible time. A spare made now, while the original still works, is the easier job.
