Is there anyway to bypass the security system so that I can start my SUV? Because I replace my key and then cylinder and it will not reprogram the new key. I’m getting frustrated.

Welcome to 2CarPros. You cannot use the vehicle to program a new key if you also replaced the cylinder. You need to have the key entered into the system as a valid key using either a scan tool or a programmer. Usually it is cheaper to have a locksmith do that than a dealer but it depends on the area. As for bypassing it, not really possible to do without having a working key to start with.
