I don't have car door keys so I had a auto service pop the locks which caused the anti theft system to come on, the only way to turn off system I need a door key. I had a locksmith disasmble the alarm and it still won't start. What should I do to resolve this problem?

Shouldn't the car crank up since the anti theft system was bypassed?

Yes he bypassed it, but would that be the answer to the solution? I'm not sure if that would resolve the problem

Antitheft and immobilizer are 2 different circuits. Were both system bypassed?

The door switches are part of the security syatem and if the door key is not working, that could be the problem. The dealer should be right on this.
