Lost the original key and the replacement key stop working.
How much is it to completely change the interlock system? Is that my only option?

Hello,

Your best bet is to replace the ignition lock tumbler, by it from the dealer and they can program it for you if needed, just give them your VIN. here is how the job is done in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). The door locks will need to be re-keyed which a locksmith can do or you can replace them as well. Here is a video on how to do it:
