Hello, I'm Danny.

Unfortunately, no the anti-theft, security system cannot be bypassed. This car incorporates a theft deterrent module that can only recognize a key for that particular car. I've attached a picture below of its location on the steering column.You will have to take the VIN number (vehicle identification number) using the cars information to have a new key made to get the module to work. A new key can be made but it can cost a few hundred dollars to work.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
