How to Program a Key for a Mitsubishi Galant
by Michael Butler
The Mitsubishi Galant comes with a remote entry key. If you lose the remote key, you will need to program a new key to work with your vehicle. Dealers might charge to do this for you. To save money, consider programming the key yourself.
Step 1
Open the car's data port located under the dashboard on the driver's side.
Step 2
Insert the key into the ignition.
Step 3
Connect data port one and four with a jumper wire. Data port one is the port in the top-left corner. Data port four is the fourth port on the top row. Ensure you connect the right ports.
Step 4
Press the car's "Hazard" button six times within 10 seconds of connecting the data ports with a jumper wire. The car doors should lock and then unlock.
Step 5
Press the "Lock" button on the remote within 10 seconds. The car locks will cycle again indicating success.
Step 6
Remove the jumper wire and take the key out of the ignition.
