Long ago, back in the 70s of the XIX century, the Japanese entrepreneur Yataro Iwasaki decided to organize a company to work in the field of aviation technology and engine-building. This is how the Mitsubishi Group was born, which later turned out to be among the most popular among companies working in the field of automobile production. Today it is known as Mitsubishi Motors Corporation.
Mitsubishi model range is available in a fairly wide range. A small compact model of Mitsubishi i-MiEV belongs to the urban class and is very convenient for maneuvers on the busy streets of the metropolis. Mitsubishi Lancer sedan and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X - is a small middle class. Production of several models of SUVs, as well as special Mitsubishi commercial vehicles, has been launched.
Any of these models is reliable, manufacturers have taken care of both passenger safety and comfort while traveling. Every detail is thought out, even the keys for Mitsubishi have a beautiful design and ease of use. Their diversity is striking: there are both the simplest mechanical ones, and flickers, which have a built-in IR remote control that opens doors, a trunk that starts the engine. The first ones are used in old models, and the mitsubishi key with a chip is suitable for brands of new, modern ones.
Mitsubishi keys may have a transponder. It is located in the key head and is a microscopic chip. It does not have its own power source, and therefore its action extends over a distance of no more than 10 cm, that is, it is almost impossible to catch work. Determine whether it is in the key head or not with a special device. However, there is another opportunity to learn about the presence or absence of the transponder - order a duplicate of the home key and try to start the car with it. If nothing happens, then this tiny chip is soldered to the original.
The latest generation of transponders are more advanced. They are called cryptotransfers, their code is floating and changes after each turn of the key. This, of course, increases the protection of the car from theft, but at the same time complicates the manufacture of a duplicate.
