Ignition code?

Going to install another Ignition switch with keylock cylinder and key in my 2000 Impala. Will i need to visit my Chevrolet dealer to use a code of some sort to make it work?

Thanks!

Removed trim on dash and removed Ignition Switch/ Cylinder then unplugged everything and plugged it all back in. Drove around for about a week. No problems. I intalled all back in the dash again. Tightened the two bolts holding the Ignition in place. So far all is working as it should.

I didn't actually disasemble the Cylinder itself, but i did notice that 1 or both of the ignition mounting bolts were loose. The problem i had was that after i started the car, the heater fan would not work, the de-fogger switch and the electronic readout of the temperature, compass etc, overhead wouldn't work until i struck the key. Didn't install any new parts, or any other second-hand parts.

if the ignition SWITCH WAS loose then this would explain what occured..

thanks for posting the work done...others may have this condition ..
