NO you can not hot wire it. The immobilizer is to sophisticated. The only thing you can do is have someone custom program the PCM to delete the immobilizer. That would be the only way to start it without a programmed key.
Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out.
Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I may need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem.
With most newer automobiles, they have sophisticated electrical systems that can rely on different computers or modules to keep everything operating correctly. Most of the time specialized equipment is needed to test these systems. If you do not have this type of equipment for testing then we can only guess what the problem is.
Yes there are common failures for certain symptoms but without testing, there’s no way to determine the specific problem unless testing is done.

You need a custom programmer that has the capability. There are a bunch of companies online that you can send it to. They normally charge around $250. The equipment needed costs around $3000.
