We are offering to provide a solid resolution so this does not happen again in the future. We will program an Emulator for you which will replace the faulty steering lock, and get you back on the road. The emulator will not suffer problems as the original ELV does as its design is different and made to be fail safe. This will be plug & play - No coding/Programming needed

Note: If your steering is locked, the emulator will not unlock the steering, you MUST first have the steering in the unlocked position or manually release it. Using the emulator the steering will not lock - This function is disabled - The emulator is completely safe and does not compromise your vehicle security as it is cryptographically married to your Ignition lock barrel (EZS | EIS)

All you need to do is send your ignition barrel (where you insert the key), The ELV (steering lock module) and 1 working key
