🔧 PRO TIP
The 2001 Eclipse runs Mitsubishi's fixed-code transponder system, not the rolling-code stuff you see on later models. The chip inside is a Philips/NXP ID46 (crypto), and the immobilizer ECU lives behind the steering column cover, part number MR587244 on most GS and GT trims. If your key blade is worn and the ignition cylinder feels loose or sticky, the transponder might still be fine. A locksmith can decode, cut a fresh MIT11 blade, and transplant the original chip into a new shell without touching the immobilizer at all.

2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call around 7am from a woman near Skofield Park in Santa Barbara. She worked temp jobs through an agency and had to be on a job site by 8. Her 2001 Eclipse GS was sitting in the lot with a cracked remote head key, blade wobbling in the shell like a loose tooth. She could not get it to turn the ignition anymore.

I was at her lot in about 20 minutes. The key was beat. The plastic housing had split along the seam and the blade had shifted just enough that it would go into the cylinder but not engage the wafers right. The transponder board inside was still good, though.

I decoded the locks with my MIT11 Lishi tool, cut a fresh blade to code, and moved her original ID46 chip and board into a new shell. Then I ran the key through the ignition, confirmed the immobilizer picked up the transponder signal, and started the car. Hands-on time was about 25 minutes.

She sat in the driver's seat, turned it over twice more like she was testing me, then just nodded and drove off. Made it to her site on time.

The dealer would have wanted the car towed in and probably held it most of the day. She did not have that kind of time or budget.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do you use OEM or aftermarket transponder keys on the 2001 Eclipse?
We use OEM-spec blanks with the correct Philips ID46 chip matched to the Eclipse's immobilizer. Mitsubishis from this era are picky. The immobilizer ECU, typically part number MR587244, will reject a chip that is not the right crypto type or is poorly manufactured. A lot of the cheap aftermarket blanks sold online either have the wrong chip revision or a blade profile that wears out fast against the MIT11 keyway. We verify the blank, chip type, and blade cut before we leave. If the transponder does not handshake with the ECU on the first start, we do not hand over the key.
How long will a replacement transponder key last on my Eclipse?
What if the new key stops working after a few weeks?
My Eclipse security light blinks but the car will not start. Is it the key or something else?
Can I get a spare key programmed if I still have one working key?
