    No problem.
    With the tun file loaded go to -
    System > Theft > Parameters (or type G1201 in the navigator window).
    Then change G1201 to 'None'
    That is it, now you don't need the coded key to get the engine to run.

    Cheers,
    Ross

    The BCM will keep the vehicle starter from cranking though, you will have to just jumper over the purple wire to your switch relay.

    IF you dont have a bcm and the starter works when you turn the key then you are good to go by just shutting off pcm vats, If you have a car that has Vats system in it, it is a 2 part system. BCM blocks starter, pcm shuts of spark/fuel.

    you can just measure the resistance of the pellet in your key, then find a resistor that has the same resistance, then go to the base of the steering column and find the orange wire harness that has two small white wires inside.

    unplug the connector, on the body side of the harness solder in the resistor that you selected from the above test, thats it. (if you put a switch in the circuit you can still disable the car when parked)
