About Diamante Keys

Verified key reference for the Mitsubishi Diamante — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer each generation uses. Boundary years can overlap; we confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

Security System & Immobilizer

Mitsubishi ran 4D61 transponders before ID46 chips and the FAST-Key proximity system.

On the Diamante specifically we see: Texas 4C / ID4C; later Texas 4D · 4D60, Texas Crypto 4D · 4D61. A correctly cut but unprogrammed key turns the locks and never starts the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Which key does your year have?

  • 1997–2002: Transponder key — Texas 4C / ID4C; later Texas 4D · 4D60 (MIT8 (MIT1))
  • 2002–2005: Transponder key — Texas Crypto 4D · 4D61 (MIT8 (MIT1))

Mitsubishi Diamante Key FAQ

I lost the only key to my Diamante. What now?

We come to the vehicle, verify ownership, cut a new key from the VIN, and program it on-site — no tow, no dealer wait.

Will a hardware-store copy start my Diamante?

On transponder-era cars it opens doors and nothing else — the chip must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is what we do curbside.
