    Question about door locks and ignition cylinder

    Hello, I'm new to the forums and had a question about my Galant's door locks and ignition cylinder.
    I've lost my key and never got around to having a spare made. So I found a junkyard nearby with a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant ES with a v6, and was wondering if I could take the door locks and ignition cylinder from that and put it on an '01 Galant DE 2.4, or would they not be compatible?

    Not sure if 2001 has an immobilizer on the ignition key but if it does you might need the front ecu also to make it work.

    You can remove the immobilizer box itself to use the new key. The problem is finding it

    Wouldn't it probably be a better option to just go to the dealer, give them the VIN and get a new key cut and programmed? You don't need the car for that, if I remember right. You will have to show them your registration and ID to prove that you are the owner of the car though.
