buying spare key

[gtodave]

i've had a look at my car at w/shop and there is only 1 key
it has the remote central locking on it.
where would i buy another?
is it possible to buy a replacement and program it to the car.
i think the gto that i had you could switch the central locking module to program mode
so it would program the new key.
anybody know david

Yes - the Galants use the same generic Mitsubishi key as many of the local models from memory.

Another good option is an immobiliser/alarm with the central locking built in - kill two birds with one stone.

i tried to get a spare key aswell so i went into mitsubishi to see if they could get one but they couldn't get one either. would be nice to have a spare

Perhaps its worth asking Brad or Gly if they can get some blanks?

I'm not sure about keys that have the button on them for remote locking, but you should be able to get normal keys cut anywhere!

The part number i am coming up with on CAPS

The PN/ for the Single Button key is 82648

Can Brad or Gly please check this

there $260nz unprogrammed...
special order item from japan.

better to spend the extra cash on an alarm with central locking...

there are two types, a pre and a post facelift key,

the prefacelift is a single buttom lock/unlock,
the facelift has seperate lock unlock buttons.

 

[bradc]

yep he's right, the facelift ones have two buttons $260 is too much though, that damned near buys a full alarm system.

 

[Kristian]

Precisely my point

I think i would be going down to Bunning's to get one cut

 

[bogan bob]

LOL yep bunnings ftw. and surely you would be considering a car alarm for it anyways, as chef said, get it integrated with the central locking, thats my plan

I got immobliser with central locking remote which bypassed the factory one in the key so now can just get ordinary key cut for about $10 or what ever it normally cost. I think immobliser cost about $150.
