Mitsubishi insert-to-start car key shells are the outer plastic housings of traditional Mitsubishi remote head keys. These are for vehicles that require you to insert the metal key blade into the ignition and turn it to start the engine.
The shell is the replaceable plastic case only — it does not include the circuit board, transponder chip, or battery.
Common button layouts
2-button: Lock + Unlock
3-button: Lock + Unlock + Panic/Trunk
These shells were widely used on Mitsubishi models from the late 1990s through the mid-to-late 2010s, including:
Lancer, Outlander, Eclipse, Galant
Pajero
Why replace;
Cracked or broken plastic
Worn or missing buttons
Detached or damaged key blade
You transfer the original electronics and immobilizer chip into the new shell.
