Evo-Key: does a proper transponder key need to be in the ignition to drive or would a key that doesn't have a chip work?

We have a Toyota Matrix 2005 and it's transponder key only works intermitantly. I'm considering installing a tansponder bypass like this one (and maybe a remote start while i'm at it) with the hopes that it would fix this by sending a valid code to the immobilizer every time but I'm unclear how the module behaves once a key is placed in the ignition. If, for example, a key is placed in the ignition but it couldn't read a transponder code from it would it cut the engine? Could you still drive the car? Would installing a bypass potientionally solve our issue?

After installing an Evo-Key/Evo-One and it is properly set up with a transponder code from a valid key, does a proper transponder key need to be in the ignition to drive the car or would a key that is cut properly but maybe doesn't have the transponder work as well?

How are you today? I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler equipped with an Evo-CHRT5 remote start and everything is operating as it should. I have another vehicle that is equipped with a different brand remote start and with that unit I can have the vehiclle running with the key in the ignition and activate the remote start by clicking unlock three times. That then allows me to remove the key from the ignition and the vehicle will stay running on the remote start system without shutting down first. My question for you is whether the Fortin system has this capability and if so how could I activate it? Thank you for any assistance you can give.
