This link will show you how to hook up a block heater so look where he is installing it and what it looks like with the cable lines.

SOURCE: block heater

Naaaa.Old wives tales.I grew up in northern NY and back in the day,30 years ago,the climate was much more severe than today.I have seen -40 below up there.Block heaters back then were necessary for especially diesel trucks,as they do NOT like to start in those temps.Gasoline engines with today's fuel injection and computerized engine controls have no need for a block heater as they will fire at the hit of the switch immediately in those temps.Old carbureted cars from 30 years ago normally would NOT fire right up at -40 below WITHOUT a block heater.The only reason i can think to install a block heater is that you will have instant heat when you get in the car.If you are worried about accelerated engine wear because of extreme temps,then by all means install one,or just have a remote start installed,fire the car in the morning and let it warm up 10 minutes at idle before you drive it off.I have a certain relative in N.C. that does this in the summer time.Start the car out in the driveway from inside the house via the remote start,let it run for 10 minutes with the A/C on high to COOL it DOWN,lol.

2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. I have Lost the Fob with the key.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that. The security system and engine immobilizer is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do, drive the car without the correct credentials. All this is controlled by two computers, a module and various sensors.

The trick is to get a new key when you lost key number 2 and was left with only one key left.

Now you need the dealership or an auto-locksmith. And by the sounds of it, a friend or a taxi. Good luck with your daughter.

I can not find where to plug in my Outlander for

When in doubt, if it's a block heater, I usually look under engine block for cord attached to heater, then follow it forward. A quick call to dealer may save a lot of aggravation though, I'm sure they will tell you.
