Hi there,
Will it be posible to bypass the chipping system of the ignition / key? I'm having trouble with starting the car and was told the cip of the key / ignition is starting to go bad.

It is not practical to bypass the EWS, drive away protection. There is an interaction that takes place that cannot be imitated with jumpering a few wires or removing a module.
