DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

AlphaSnacks · 02-25-2012, 01:51 PM

I have a "C" unit. Build date of the car is 6/10. Built date of the unit is Feb 16th 2010. :\

Was able to stick my phone behind the OBDII port and snap away random pics until I finally got a clear one of all the details - my garage is too damn narrow for me to open the door all the way and crawl under. So there's some friendly advice for those in my situation.

My build date was 6/10 and it works fine but I replaced it with a "D" anyway and kept the "C" as insurance.
