You need the key code from the dealer. The cylinder has a specific code of numbered tumblers that the dealer only can get. You could try reading the numbers off the old cylinder but they are usually worn off
Another answerIt is not recommended that vehicle owners work on the steering column assembly since the airbag can deploy easily, causing great harm to anyone near.Wiki User

What happens when the tumbler in the ignition switch is bad?
To be clear, this is the cylinder ignition lock we are talking about, not the ignition starter switch. If the tumblers are damaged or 'bad', the key may be able to be removed fromt the ignition lock while the car is running. Also, the key may simply not go into the ignition lock anymore. On most cars the cylinder ignition lock is a separate item and can be replaced for a moderate price. However, this is not something for a novice to work on since this is just one of many interconnected parts. Messing with a ignition system may make your vehicle unable to simply start again.

Didn't you answer your own question? Replace the ignition and go from there. Call a locksmith like you should have done when you broke the key off in the first place. It's was really an easy and inexpensive fix before you broke out the drill but here we are. The steering wheel will have to be removed as well as the steering wheel locking plate and blinker housing. Then you can remove the "torx" screw which holds the ignition in. The ignition can now be removed and replaced.
