Yeah I just meant swapping to key to a flip key. Thanks for the responseNot quite sure what you mean? By it should work?
I always thought the later model mirages/lancers had central locking but not wireless entry as it was an option, when you lock the door on your 02 mirage do the doors both lock? If they do you may only need a keyless entry module and remote.
If your talking about swapping your key for say a flip out key fob, than yes it can be done easily but like you said, buttons will be useless plus would have to be programmed and key cut.
