You can use the factory theft however you will need to swap quite a few parts. The column with cylinder and housing, the bcm, and possibly the ipc. It may be more trouble than it is worth. Don't forget the harnesses also. That theft system isn't very great. There is no transponder in the key. It uses a magnet to signal a sensor when you turn the key. So basically if the cylinder turns it triggers the theft. And I fix these theft recoveries all the time. Thieves break the lock and force it to turn. Good luck keep us posted.
