About a week ago my vehicle got stolen and I don't have the key. How do I bypass the ignition or transponder? I don't have money to get a new key.

Hello,

You cannot bypass the security system. here is a new remote on Amazon for $29.00. it comes with instructions on how to program it take five minutes.

Thank you for that information, but I don't have a key and it don't need a remote it takes the transponder key. How can I remove the ignition cylinder without the key?

It can be a little tough without the key you may need to drill the tumbler out in pieces. Here are the diagrams on how to do the job once you can get the tumbler to turn. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
