If changing the ignition barrel then no, It's a straight swap.
Can you turn the key in the ignition?

The transponder/reader isnt part of the barrel, it just comes off, only bit you need to change is you'll need to transfer the chip to the new key.

You're going to need to turn the key to position 1 or 2 to be able to remove the old barrel.
I can't remember if it's 1 or 2.

Yup turn it to position one and I found using an allen key perfect for poking into the hole.
