How much does it cost to replace a PassLock sensor?

Rinse, repeat, and cry. A more permanent solution is to either replace the ignition lock cylinder or bypass the sensor. Replacement cylinder with new sensors can cost, with labor, as much as $450. Bypassing the sensor will void any warranty, but since most of these vehicles are out-of-warranty at this point that might not be of any concern.
