Bypass Immobilizer?

Being in Michigan, the 1-mile range and remote start is handy (yes, even on my 5-spd), which needs to bypass the immobilizer. And before anyone asks, I also install a custom neutral safety switch just to be safe!

Question is, if I remove the factory alarm module, will the immobilizer/transponder also be bypassed? Or will I need to purchase a transponder bypass kit? Or can I bypass it without an add-on? My mom Camry, I took a key, wrapped it with 8 coils, then wrapped around the ignition, and it worked. Some other wires, but that's the basic idea.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The ECM needs to see the transponder to allow the car to start, so to eliminate it you either need to do the "bury a key in the dash" or use a Fortin bypass module.
