Hello,

Unfortunately there is no way around this. It is caused by the Power-train Control Module (PCM) or "computer" not recognizing the keys trying to start your vehicle. The only way to get around this is to have a chipped key from your vehicle reprogrammed to the PCM at either the dealership or a locksmith. This is intentionally done to keep anybody from having an unchipped key and being able to steal your vehicle.

Thanks,
Alex
