Unfortunately these systems are specifically designed to not be able to bypass them.

I attached some info but in essence the key communicates with the cluster which communicates with the ECM. If they don't sign off on allowing the vehicle to start then it will not start.

This means the only way to start the process is have a key that is programmed to the system so that it allows the "unlocking" of the system.

Sorry we don't have better info for you. Let us know if there are other questions. Thanks
