Maybe not **any** model. Doesn't work on an 06 Lancer *ES* . Though I get the feeling it is specifically that trim, and all others (even ES for years before *and* after 2006) work. Just my luck I guess.
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to try the same method for a Lancer CS2 2006 model, My problem it my car has only just a key.. no FOB I did not receive any from the previous owner... wonder if it is going to work or whether it has necessary signal sender receiver do to the thing..
