Ignition Switch or Ignition Lock Cylinder

The vehicle in question is a 2004 Honda Civic LX. I stupidly left both of the keys to the car in my luggage and the airline lost my bag. The trouble is, the car doesn't have the original ignition, so I can't just get a new key cut because the dealership can't lookup the key code. If the entire ignition system works properly but I simply can't get any keys for it, do I have to change the entire switch or can I just switch out the ignition lock cylinder and use the keys that come with that? Also, would a generic ignition switch work fine, or should I get a legit one? Any input helps, thanks a lot.

Just curious, but what is the status of the airlines finding your luggage? Are they lost forever?
Probably cheaper to call a locksmith than go about changing and recoding the door locks and replacing the lock cylinder. Plus if you get your luggage back, your original keys will still work.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
