I stuck camera under dash today to see what version my JDM 40th has..
its build is feb 2010,,

car is a rather fresh import was a dally driver so the story goes .

Well it has no sticker Its shinney only has one marking a bigish "M"
has wires going in at one end

its that shinney you can see the floor mat badge in it at one part of video.

anyone know about this type , should I leave it or pull the fuse ?.

Question why does car have a port dofer under the dash and another one in the centre console?.

The steering wheel lock is behind the box with the M on it. Have no clue about the M box. It maybe goes to that thing on your dash.

The 2 ports are for 12 volt power.

I had a better look at the video I took of under the dash ,
does not apair to be anything else that looks like it plugs into the colum ..

aftermmarket JDM one ?

steering lock works, in fact too well, when starting the car as when you hit the button the steering wheel can move around quite fast . Learnt fast to keep hands away from it at start up

\Hi is no box further up.. I will go get it checked at my local Nissan dealership within the next few days .

but the power lead plug looks to be the same .. .

My car is 2010 Feb. build. was a daily driver in Japan until like 6 months ago when 1st owner sold it at auction in Japan and buyer imported here and I brought it . .

Its mint as fk to drive ..

Maybe its got a proper fix ..
But saying that . some times the steering wheel is quite angry at startup as the steering wheel can just turn very fast at times on start up. seams quite ramdom
