What year and model is your car? But a remote and program it bro should work, worked for my 95.

I have a 96 gst eclipse

Ya bro you should have a keyless. I got my last fob from Mitsu years ago and it was only $38. I think the price has gone up a lot so eBay or another vendor might be better. There's a thread all about this if you search! I called mitsubishiparts.com and asked them what my fob should and they where able to look it up and find the right one, has worked ever since. Very simple procedure to sync the fob to the car.

Keyless was an option though you cant just say it has it i want a way yo know because locksmith wants 30$ to make a new key

I'm pretty sure every car came with the keyless system just not with a fob. That's how mine was bro and I have 2 95's both worked for me. Under the dash is the keyless system, I think that's where it is let me double check. You can always look and find the box if you want to know 100% I didn't think mine had it and I got a fob and it sync'd right up. Which was great because all my locks used to be jacked up from jerk offs trying to break in to my car. I couldn't even use the driver or trunk only pass. Lol

If you lock the doors with the lock switch a green "security" light should come on and stay light for x amount of secs. you could also look behind the driver side rear speaker panel. There should be a black box for the alarm system. If all else fails, you could call the dealer with your vin number or take your registration to the dealer and they should be able to tell you. I got my key fob from ebay. When I went to the dealer to ask about the fob, they wanted like $200 for the fob and another $45 to program it.

Do you get a green light that says security, where the gauge cluster is, when you lock the doors? I'm pretty sure I remember reading you will be able to program the fob, If the answer is yes.

^^ yes thanks guys totally forgot to mention that! And that's the other place I remember the box being behind the driver seat inside the speaker trim. Thx for the help guys

I don't even lock my doors. I'd rather theives gain easy entry rather than shatter my window or break my handles. The most valuable thing in my car is my gauges anyways and over the years i've learned that if a thief wants your car bad enough, he will get it alarm or not. Best thing to do is have full coverage. Just something to think about.

To the people asking about the light when i lock my doorsi dont have a key i cant do that

If you have power locks, which all or at least most turbo 2gs do, you can push the power lock button with the door still open to find out.

You don't have to close the door to see if the light cones on. when you hit the lock button, it should come on and then you could unlock it.

If you don't have it there's a guy selling the keyless unit for $10 in the classified!

Push in the door switch and hit lock... you can do it with the door wide open, then just push unlock from the inside. I've locked my keys in the car on accident because the stupid door switch stuck, and by habit I hit lock on my way out while it warmed up.

Pretty simple check, even without a door key.

Or, roll the window down... reach in, unlock. Just another option to not lock yourself out while checking for keyless.
