I bought a new ignition for my car but it didn't come with a new immobilizer and that is what's broke on my car. I need to get it to the dealer.

You don't have to go to a dealer but they will be able to replace this with no problems.

However, you will need to have it reprogrammed once it is installed. I attached the info below for this and the process on how to replace it.

You will see that it says you need to have it programmed in the last step which is what is required to get it running again.

Please run through this material and let us know if there are other questions. Thanks
