Mitsubishi Eclipse Key Replacement
Mitsubishi Eclipses have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 1996 era, and across 9 key generations this model has used 8 different key systems — transponder key; remote head key; oucg8d-625m-a; oucg8d-620m-a. Whichever yours is, DFW Keys 4 Cars cuts and programs it at your location, 24/7: spare keys, lost-everything replacements, fob programming, and lockouts. Call (214) 717-6398.
About Eclipse Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Mitsubishi Eclipse — model years, key types, and the transponder/immobilizer family each generation uses. Generations overlap at boundary years, so we always confirm the exact part by VIN before dispatching.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eclipse | 1996–2000 | Transponder key | Texas 4C / ID4C | MIT8 (MIT1) |

| Eclipse | 2006–2012 | Remote head key | Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7941/PCF7936 | MIT3 (MIT17) |
| Eclipse / Galant / Lancer (remote head key) | 2007–2015 | OUCG8D-625M-A | 315 MHz; Philips ID46; P/N 6370A477; MIT3 keyway | |

Security System & Immobilizer
Mitsubishi ran 4D61 transponders before adopting ID46 chips and the FAST-Key proximity system — every era still programs curbside.
On the Eclipse specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Texas 4C / ID4C, Texas Crypto 4D · 4D60/4D61/4D64, Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7941/PCF7936, 315 MHz; Philips ID46; P/N 6370A477; MIT3 keyway, 315 MHz; ID46. A key that is cut correctly but not programmed to this system will turn the locks and never start the engine — programming is the half of the job that matters.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Eclipse. 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 — this is our most common Eclipse call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Eclipse?
It will open the doors and nothing else on transponder-era cars — the chip inside the key must be programmed to the immobilizer, which is the part we do curbside.
My Eclipse is older — do you still stock keys for it?
Yes. We carry blanks and chips going back to the 1996–2000 generation (transponder key), and a code-cut fresh key usually turns a worn lock better than any copy of your worn key.
