I have no issue with the lock but it's easy way to prevent the z inoperable. It's also easy to reverse it back if your lock is still good.

If you do it my way,yes you can reverse it for ex. if you want to trade that car in just put the fuse back in and everything is back to normal.

Exactly. Your way is purely simple and no cost

Something so simple right under our noses this whole time. I wonder if 2011s and 2012s have an updated fuse box housing as a result of them not having the lock anymore.

It'd be even funnier if the fuse box is the same, with just a gap where the fuse used to be in our cars and no lock below the column. Hahaha. Basically, Nissan performing the same fix as us, just taking the extra step of removing the assembly, as well since it costs them money to install.

I thought just the 2012 had no lock... 2011's it's a non-issue too?

I thought I remember reading that early 2011's had the lock and later models did not. Guess I should really check and see if I have it or not.
