Just stick a 21mm wrench between the battery terminals. That should do.

I was just hoping he would share this little gem of knowledge with us losers that are too afraid to work on our own stuff!

But I thought this was a legitimate thread where a new member was going to explain to all us lazy dumb dumbs the mystery of how to bypass a PATS system with a drill and a hammer!?! Obviously he schooled us on how to gently and gracefully remove an ignition cylinder. Our cup runneth over with the knowledge he has bestowed upon us.

I am retired and real lazy. I change my transmission fluid, engine oil, and do my own brakes. Lock cylinders I would leave to the dealer.
In Florida I wouldn't worry about a car getting stolen unless it's a Honda. LOL
