My link is "key" light went on

UPDATE: I just heard from nissan this morning. I pleeded my case to them stating that I was unaware that this part is ONLY covered under the bumper to bumper warrenty. As my car has already passed the 36,000 mile warrenty coverage, it will cost me $1135,29 to get my car back!!! That is with a discount too. rev2 to rev4 re-programmed

Steering lock module: $850
Labor: $300
Re-programming: $400
towing: $185

REMOVE YOUR FUSE BEFORE YOU END UP WITH THE SAME BILL!!!!

All I can say is wow. First off, that module is only around $500, so I'm not sure what the $350 dollar mark up is all about. Labor is literally a 30min job. There is a DIY thread on here about replacing the steering lock, so $300 dollars in labor?!?! Please. As far as I know there is no re-programming involved. There has been several people on here that replaced the lock their self, and I don't recall them ever having to re-program anything, so $400 dollars? Really? Sounds like the dealer is screwing you over

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

As far as I can tell, the only "re-programming" required is clearing any DTCs that may have been set. But I have only been able to find the installation procedure for SLUs in GT-Rs.
All I can find in the 2009 370Z FSMs is "replace SLU" but no detailed procedure. Whether that's because the info is not there for security reasons or my mad search skillz have failed me, I dunno.
