Mitsubishi Raider key types & programming facts

2006–2009 Mitsubishi Raider models in the U.S./Canada use a 3‑button remote-head key, with some vehicles equipped with a Philips 46 transponder chip and others using a non‑immobilizer mechanical key setup. Remote/keyless entry functions are programmed either by onboard procedures (button sequences with an existing working fob on non‑Sentry Key vehicles) or via diagnostic/OBD equipment, while transponder keys (where present) require specialized programming tools. Cutting the blade and matching FCC ID/part number to the vehicle’s existing system are also required.

Key types used on the Raider:

  • remote-head key (integrated key + remote, transponder-equipped on Sentry Key–equipped vehicles) (2006-2009)
  • non‑transponder mechanical key (on vehicles not equipped with Sentry Key) (2006-2009)

Common fob FCC IDs: KOBDT04A, OHT692427AA — check the back of your fob; we confirm the exact variant on site.

How we validate this guide

Year coverage comes from our consolidated vehicle programming dataset. Route-level programming status is reviewed against internal route sheets and available manufacturer, security-access, and professional tool references. Exact button sequences are marked source-verified only when we have year/equipment-specific support; where a year is labeled “route verified, steps vary,” we confirm the exact fob, trim, and prompts before programming. Reviewed for route and safety by Mohammad H. Abdelhadi, ALOA-Certified Master Locksmith.

Common questions

What type of key does my Mitsubishi Raider use?

2006–2009 Raiders use a 3‑button remote-head key; some trucks have a Philips 46 transponder (Sentry Key), while others use a non‑transponder mechanical key without an immobilizer.

Which FCC ID fits a 2006–2009 Mitsubishi Raider remote?

Documented FCC IDs for 2006–2009 Raider remotes include KOBDT04A and OHT692427AA, used on 3‑button remote or remote-head key fobs.

Can I program a Raider remote myself?

On some 2006 Raiders without Sentry Key, additional remotes can be programmed by an onboard button sequence. Transponder keys and many later remotes typically need locksmith or dealer programming with diagnostic tools.

Can you program a Raider key fob without going to the dealership?

For most years, yes - the route is onboard relearn or an OBD tool, both of which a mobile locksmith handles at your location.

Does this program the remote only, or the transponder key too?

It depends on your key type. Tell us your FCC ID and we will confirm.

What if my year says professional programming required?

Those years need a programmer or security access; we bring the tool to you and program it on site.

How much does it cost?

It depends on year, key type, and whether you have a working key. Call (833) 439-8636 for a firm price before we dispatch.
