TxBmbleBee, You are right.....that key is NOT chipped. Just take out that aftermarket transponder crap that you have in the car right now, and you'll be good to go!
And to answer your question TxBmbleBee, If you have a manual tranny ECU that was taken from another car, you could use that same module to permanently bypass the transponder system. BUT....you'd have to know how to wire it up to activate everytime you turn the "wrong" key.
You'd also have to program the bypass with the matching key from the Manual ECU. Failing that, you could take the entire car to the dealer, and have them program your existing key to the manual ECU.
