It’s not the body processing unit you need to swap. It is the security module, located inside the boot on the left side that you need to swap. You need the correct key to go with it. You can then either swap the ignition barrel to match the key, or you could also have your original key copied and but have the transponder cloned to match the one that comes with the security module.

Cheers,
