Keyless Entry Keys...

[Hotwire]

Has anyone tried using something like this to hook up to the existing central locking?

I haven't, but it's easy enough to do.

Why don't you just buy a new key? They're only about $120 plus shipping from Japanaland

Or you could fix your existing key if you're handy with a soldering iron.

^Thought about trying to fix the key, but i dont know if its JUST the button.. the battery had 3V still, but depressing the rubber did nothing, as it seems the switch has seized in the down position... this would indicate my doors should be constantly locking and unlocking but they arent - so I figure the key is caput.

Hi Lee
I have used an after maket receiver in my Legnum. Just bought a keyless system on Ebay (about $70) I got all the actuators but you don't need them as they are already in your door. I just patched the receiver wires into the ones running from the drivers door and works perfectly. The only thing I want to do is find either the standard receiver or the wire(s) that control the auto up and down for the windows and get that working

So these cars have no imobilisation standard? Is that correct?

Correct.

Immobilisers started to became standard after 2002.

i had this prob went to mitsi and they said that crap price and also said that they aint even sure if they can recode the blank key so it opens the doors.. hmm spend $300 and then they cant get it to work.lol what dicks. you can get keys recodded from some lock smith/key cutters, they just get your old key push the button and their computer receives the code then they imprint it on a blank key.. the code im talking bout is for the central locking not laser codded keys that comunicat with the car..

I successfully registered my new key with the car's remote receiver this morning, both keys control remote central locking and integrated alarm and it cost me all of about two minutes (instead of the $120 Mitsubishi wanted to do it LOL).

Please explain how you did it?
I am sure there are many other people that will be keen to know this.

Trev, where did you bought the key (site please)? I am needing one as well.

and as above, tell us how did you do it.

Also, on the otherhand (just a double confirmation), so the pre-facelifts does not have standard immobiliser yeh?

I got the key from my friendly neighbourhood Japanese parts importer, who helped me get it directly from Mitsubishi Japan. I then got the blank key cut from my original by a locksmith for $25.

Sorry I'm not going to post instructions for the process on the forums, as it could impact the security of someone's car. Instructions are available from the Workshop Manual however.

No, VR4's don't come with factory immobilisers - you'll need to get one fitted. Even if your car came with an alarm from Japan, it almost certainly won't be Australian Standards compliant, meaning your insurance may very well not cover the car. I got a piggy-back immobiliser and alarm linked to my factory remote central locking system, giving me maximum integration.
