Start car without key?

I lost all of my keys to my Camaro, I already have VATS bypass. How do I start without key?

Since you lost all keys, show proof of ownership to a dealer and I'm sure they'll be happy to cut door and ignition key.

How do I get it so I don't need the key at all to turn the ignition?

No it can't be done. You have a wheel lock to deal with like Joe car said. Not to mention you'll go to jail when your pulled over with a screwdriver in the ignition. Even if you show proof your gonna **** the cop off. Go to the dealer and have them make your keys.

TTT, got a new key from the dealer and it doesn’t work. What do I have to do to make the steering lock stop?

Going to try a hair dryer and WD40 on the tumbler before breaking things since it’s in the teens and 20s here and the car hasn’t been touched in 6 months, maybe it’s just frozen. The new key feels super tight and the tumblers don’t feel like they are getting hit right but it could just be a sharp new key.
