I would check with a key place (as above) to see if they can supply an aftermarket backup key - or not. We found spare keys next to impossible because Mitsubishi has to program them to accept a code matching the car. I'm hoping we never lose any.

Guessing the lancer has a similar setup.
Got a quote from Mister Minute today $150 for about 15 mins work (sure i was being reamed so said no) will try other places. There are remotes on ebay with the programming notes which don't seem too hard which i will likely get.
