Hi all Turbo heads, Question, can I replace the ignition key barrel only, My 3 yr old son stuck a stick in the ignition and snapped it off and me being filled with rage couldn't find a way to remove it sensibly so I got the drill out and drilled it out, Success, So I thought, Key went in, Car starts, Car shuts down, Oh Crap,,, Cant get key out, I damaged the key entry gate and it catches on the end of the key on the way out, Back to Rage,, LOL I see a lot of people are saying the whole column need to be replaced as the barrel cant be removed, But I found that the ignition can be removed and a replacement can be purchased, I need to know , does the barrel itself need coding along with key or can I just replace the barrel and take the immobilizer chip out of my existing key and put in new key..
