Call (909) 455-3660Whether you drive a brand-new Mitsubishi Lancer or an older one, Don's Locksmith can replace or duplicate your key at your location. The right key for your Lancer depends on its model year — here's how Mitsubishi Lancer keys have evolved.
Mitsubishi Lancer Key Types by Year
| Model Years | Typical Key Type |
|---|---|
| Lancer 2002–2007 | Transponder key — a transponder chip key, sometimes combined with a separate remote. Both the cut and the chip programming must match your vehicle. |
| Lancer 2008–2013 | Remote head key / early smart key — typically a remote head key (key and remote in one) or, on higher trims, an early proximity smart key. Cutting plus on-board programming is required. |
| Lancer 2014–2017 | Proximity smart key — commonly a proximity smart key with push-button start on many trims, alongside transponder keys on base models. Programming uses the vehicle’s security system. |
Key technology varies by trim and region; call us with your exact year and VIN and we'll confirm the right key for your Mitsubishi Lancer.
