Programming Guide for 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Keyless Entry Remote Fob

Important Notice: This vehicle does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. Programming must be performed by a qualified professional using specialized equipment.

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle Ensure that your vehicle is safely parked in a secure location with no obstructions around the ignition system. Have the smart key remote fob and any existing keys ready for the programming process.
  • Step 2: Schedule a Professional Service Contact an authorized professional or dealership that has the necessary equipment and expertise to program smart key remote fobs for Mitsubishi vehicles.
  • Step 3: Confirm Proof of Ownership Be prepared to provide proof of ownership of the vehicle. This is typically done by presenting your vehicle registration or title to ensure the proper programming of the key.
  • Step 4: Drive to the Professional's Location If your vehicle is still operational, consider driving it to the professional's location to reduce the service charges.
  • Step 5: Professional Setup Once you arrive, the professional will connect specialized diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s system. This equipment is needed to interact with the vehicle's onboard computer to start the programming process.
  • Step 6: Programming the Smart Key The professional will use the diagnostic equipment to register the new smart key remote fob with your vehicle's security system. This process links the new remote to the vehicle’s systems, enabling features like remote start, door unlocking, and keyless entry.
  • Step 7: Testing the New Smart Key After the new smart key is programmed, the technician will test it to ensure it works properly. This includes testing the key’s functionality to lock/unlock the vehicle, start the engine, and perform any other smart key features.
  • Step 8: Final Checks and Confirmation Once the new key is confirmed to be working, the professional will perform a final check to ensure everything is functioning properly.
  • Step 9: Key Code Documentation (if applicable) In some cases, you may be provided with a new key code for future reference or key duplication. This code should be stored safely for future use.
  • Step 10: Verify Full Smart Key Operation Before concluding the session, confirm that all smart key functions (locking, unlocking, and starting the engine) are fully operational. If you notice any issues, inform the professional immediately.
  • Step 11: Secure the Smart Key Once programming is complete, ensure that the newly programmed smart key is stored in a secure location, especially if you have multiple smart keys or remotes.
