hi,

you can try to purchase a factory ring antenna...see here

https://www.directechs.com/techtips/pdfs/resources/security/directed_techtips/1060.pdf

the vehicle may not let you lock the doors with vehicle running, it uses the factory ring for keysense also...key in ignition, doors no lock.   try triggering the transponder bypass through a timer module (5-10 sec) when firat starting vehicle, might work

hope this helps
