Update: Steering Lock issue - Bypass Kit!

What does this bypass do? I've looked at the pictures and can't figure out how it's supposed to work.

I think it's just a steering lock without the lock, so whatever subsystems communicate with the lock will believe it is functioning normally. The very existence of the part shows that Nissan, to some degree, doesn't feel confident in the electronic steering locks. On the nissan parts DBs (like courtesyparts) you can see it is not associated with any model Nissan car - I'd speculate that it's only for dealers to use in cases where cars have repeated steering lock issues and they just need to do something to satisfy a customer without pulling a fuse (which would not look like a professional solution).
