Mitsubishi Lancer Key Replacement
Mitsubishi Lancers have been on Dallas–Fort Worth roads since the 1996 era, and across 5 key generations this model has used 4 different key systems — transponder key; remote head key — confirm by vin; oucg8d-625m-a; ouc644m-key-n. 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 Lancer Keys
The table below is our verified key reference for the Mitsubishi Lancer — 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.
| Model / Generation | Years | Key Type | Transponder / Immobilizer | Blade / FCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lancer | 1996–2006 | Transponder key | Texas 4C / ID4C; later Texas 4D · 4D61 | MIT8 (MIT1) |
| Lancer | 2007–2017 | Remote head key — confirm by VIN | Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7941AT/PCF7936 | MIT3 (MIT17A) |
| Eclipse / Galant / Lancer (remote head key) | 2007–2015 | OUCG8D-625M-A | 315 MHz; Philips ID46; P/N 6370A477; MIT3 keyway | |
| Lancer Evolution | 2008–2015 | Remote head key — confirm by VIN | Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7941AT/PCF7936 | MIT3 (MIT17A) |
| Outlander / Lancer smart-proximity | 2008–2021 | OUC644M-KEY-N | 315 MHz; PCF7952A / ID46; IC 850G-644MKEYN; P/N 8637A316 / 8637A817 / 8637B665 |
Security System & Immobilizer
Mitsubishi ran 4D61 transponders before adopting ID46 chips and the FAST-Key proximity system — every era still programs curbside.
On the Lancer specifically, the immobilizer families we see are: Texas 4C / ID4C; later Texas 4D · 4D61, Philips Crypto 2 / ID46 / PCF7941AT/PCF7936, 315 MHz; Philips ID46; P/N 6370A477; MIT3 keyway, 315 MHz; PCF7952A / ID46; IC 850G-644MKEYN; P/N 8637A316 / 8637A817 / 8637B665. 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 Lancer Key FAQ
I lost the only key to my Lancer. 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 Lancer call.
Will a hardware-store copy start my Lancer?
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 Lancer is older — do you still stock keys for it?
Yes. We carry blanks and chips going back to the 1996–2006 generation (transponder key), and a code-cut fresh key usually turns a worn lock better than any copy of your worn key.
How fast can you reach my Lancer in DFW?
