Is it possible to bypass the ignition with push start?

Hi,
Anything is possible, but in this case, it wouldn't be easy. Everything as far as the electronics on this vehicle is designed to function using a key. Antitheft will be the biggest obstacle along with the need to replace sensors and possibly the body control module.
I have just tried to help someone with a Chrysler product with the same issue and plan for repair. He has been into it for two weeks and it still won't start. I would consider just replacing the ignition switch lock cylinder and the switch itself if damaged.
Let me know.
