For $60.50 delivered to my door, best $60 I have spent on this car and worth it for the peace of mind I won't get stranded now. Easily reversible in the same time frame. I highly recommend it!

do you know 2011 370z doesn't have a steering lock???

is your Z is the early production of the 2011???

my post is base on my personal experience on my own 2011 370z, and source from this forum.

1) Couple years ago I tried to remove the ESCL fuse, spent 25-30mins to finally open the fuse box that contain the ESCL-fuse, then I found out the fuse is "missing"...!!!!

I double check the picture post in the forum and make sure I didn't miss anything and I ensure the slot which the ESCL-fuse should be there is actually empty.

I did some search online and eventually....

2) ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

Therefore, my own 2011 370z shows me no ESCL in it, and source in this forum shows there's no ESCL on the 370z from 03/2011....

now.... can you remove that trump and "like" my post???
