Worst case scenario would be that you have to replace the ignition, which is actually a fairly simple and not-too-expensive thing to do assuming you have access to a steering wheel puller.

Mine does have PassKey, but I do know how to modify that if I have too. I know the resistance of my key's resistor, and can place a permanent resistor in the ignition switch if I must.
