You don't have to spend anywhere near this for most cars. I programmed fobs for Chrysler and Toyota last summer, and each fob was about $10. Insturctions are online for free. You don't need a number off the back. Go to an ebay page (or maybe it was Amazon) and find someone who sells fobs and put in the year, make, adn model of the car and it will tell you if he has the fob to fit it. I got keys the same way, for even less money. And it's not just those two makes. Just about all of them |

Just about all of them Thanks for this input, where I've been concentrating on the oxygen sensor thread (for obvious reasons of triage) but where this information is useful. One question. How do they prevent theft? That is, what proof do you normally give them that it's YOUR car? NOTE: I'm not trying to steal a car ... I'm just trying to understand the process. |

Wow Clare ... you are the genius! If those instructions are legit, it sure seems that we can buy a handful of remotes and just program them all together at the same time. Here's my summary of that document: <2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions> <https://northcoastkeyless.com/2004-mitsubishi-lancer-keyless-entry-remote-fob-programming-instructions/> "Many people donąt know that they can purchase their own replacement vehicle entry remote, save up to 70% off of marked up Dealership prices, and program the replacement remote to their vehicle themselves." First, verify this is on the back of the remote: * FCC ID: OUCG8D-525M-A * Factory Part No.: MR587983 I just looked at the original pictures where the FCC ID matches perfectly, but that "Factory Part Number" doesn't exist on the current fob (maybe it's already an aftermarket fob?). 1. Insert key into the Ignition and leave it in the OFF position. 2. JUMP OBDII Ports 1 and 4 with a suitable jumper wire. 3. Within ten (10) seconds, PRESS the Hazard Light Switch six (6) times. 4. The door locks will cycle once indicating entry to Programming Mode. On the first remote to be programmed... 5. PRESS the LOCK Button three (3) times within ten (10) seconds. 6. Door locks will cycle once indicating successful programming 7. For all other remotes, individually repeat step 5 within one (1) minute. 8. REMOVE the jumper wire connected to the Data Link Port. 9. Programming is now complete. 10. Test all remotes. Sometimes such things are like an "rm -r *" command, so I hope it's legit, but if it is, it seems all I have to do for them is figure out if the missing "Factory Part Number" is critical and where best to buy a handful of these remotes! |

My boss went to Europe. His wife took his car and locked the keys inside and the dealer was 50 miles away. I had to give the dealer the VIN and have a local locksmith vouch for me since he knew the both of us and did work for the company. |

I'm not trying to steal a car, but it seems, from Clare's nice instructions, that all you need to do is buy the fob and get a hold of one of the other fobs, and you can make keys. Of course, all the fobs will be no good, so if you did it without the knowledge of the owner, the owner's own key fobs would stop working. But, according to what Clare sent, you don't need anything but the fob and the car and that's it. |

I forget the codes I have but they both point to the o2 sensor. Yet I get 30MPH on he highway and 26 in town, and it doesnt' overheat, so I'm thinking there is no big rush to fix it. It does stumble a bit when I'm stopped and start up again, unless I"m perfect with the gas pedal. >thread (for obvious reasons of triage) but where this information is >useful. > >One question. > >How do they prevent theft? The 02 sensor won't admit oxygen unless you have proof you own the car. >That is, what proof do you normally give them that it's YOUR car? > >NOTE: I'm not trying to steal a car ... I'm just trying to understand the >process. For the key and the fob, online they will sell to anyone. It's sort of like guns. But you need to have one or 2 fobs to make anotehr and 1 or 2 keys to make another key. I forget which it is but it's 1 for one and 2 for the other. Whatever Clare said. So if you don't have that, I think you have to go to a locksmith (who is still probalby cheaper than the dealer, though iirc not every locksmith can do this.) My used cars both came with 2 keys and 2 fobs, or more, and because I knew I'd have trouble making more if I got down to one fob (or key, I forget) I made a bunch more. I have 4 of each now, I think. Even though I've only lost one key in 50+ years and that was a house key I dropped into my car's trunk. I was out of town, getting home late, had to call a friend and have him leave my house key outside my house. And another time was tubing and changed clothes and had left the key in the trunk. Had to ask some poor girl who probalby thought I really liked her to take me home 10 miles and back to the car. That will teach her to be talking to me when I see that the key is locked in. |

It used to be that when you did this, you had to reprogram the keys or fobs (I forget which) that you already had, which were working, at the same time you did a new one. (and I was afraid I'd mess them all up.) but with my 2004 Chrysler and 2005 Toyota, I dont' think that was true. Just follow the directions to the letter. It might help to have someone read you the instructions while you do it. At least for me, on the first couple tries, I can't remember more than one step at a time, and the time it took for reading even though I thought I turned the key on and off, or the lock button up and down, the right number fo times, it took 4 or 5 tries to get it right. but that was the first one. After that I got much better. >Here's my summary of that document: > <2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming Instructions> > <https://northcoastkeyless.com/2004-mitsubishi-lancer-keyless-entry-remote-fob-programming-instructions/> > "Many people donąt know that they can purchase their own replacement > vehicle entry remote, save up to 70% off of marked up Dealership prices, > and program the replacement remote to their vehicle themselves." > >First, verify this is on the back of the remote: >* FCC ID: OUCG8D-525M-A >* Factory Part No.: MR587983 > >I just looked at the original pictures where the FCC ID matches perfectly, >but that "Factory Part Number" doesn't exist on the current fob (maybe it's >already an aftermarket fob?). > >1.

Advice for stripped threads upstream oxygen sensor exhaust manifold <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.home.repair/mIcLF2bSnU8> > Yet I get 30MPH on he highway and 26 in town, and it doesnt' overheat, > so I'm thinking there is no big rush to fix it.

AFAIK, oxygen sensors generally get replaced when they fail, and that usually precipitates one of two clues: a. You get a related oxygen sensor code, or, b. You can't set a related readiness monitor. Usually, AFAIK, it's the upstream sensor. You can test them, but, you can't really test them (it's one of those things you just replace). > For the key and the fob, online they will sell to anyone. It's sort of > like guns. But you need to have one or 2 fobs to make anotehr and 1 or > 2 keys to make another key. I forget which it is but it's 1 for one and > 2 for the other. Whatever Clare said. Yeah. What Clare said was a. Gather all the fobs you can (in this case, that's one). b. Program the handful you have c. That negates the ones you don't have Who knew it was that easy. Now all I have to do is buy the fobs. My first concern, since the trunk doesn't open with the key, is to buy the fob that has a trunk button on it, if that will work and try it out. I wonder if fobs can be programmed more than once? |

When you > go ito "programmode" it erases ALL existing remotes I'm gonna assume those "existing remotes" can be re-programmed on another car? There's a reason I ask, which is we're asking the original owner to come up with more remotes, if he can. BTW, does anyone know if the three-button remote Clare found can also be used instead of the two-button remote the kid currently has? The reason I ask is that, for some reason, the trunk doesn't open with the one key he has, and, there's no way to open it by hand, so the *only* way currently to open the trunk is via the lever in the cockpit (since the fob he has is only a two-button fob). Seems to me, if the three-button fob works, that this would solve the trunk problem too. |
