One of the most common and annoying problems with the C5 model Corvette is the steering column lock getting stuck! There is nothing like walking out to your car after a hard day's work only to find your $45k sports car is immobile due to a faulty lock. Fortunately, there is a way around this. A column lock simulator will allow you to disable the factory locking mechanism, while allowing the car's computer to still believe everything is working problem free. All year C5's with a 6 speed transmission, and all pre-2001 model C5's with an automatic can use this device. 2001 and later model automatic cars do not have a column lock at all, however the 6 speed cars retained it.
Included with the simulator is a cigarette lighter adapter for the column lock to "manually" unlock the column lock (needed once during the install only), a Torx T-15 tool useful for getting the interior knee panel off during installation, and a brief instruction sheet.

Review:
Kinda unfair for me to review this product, but I will say that I do manufacture them on a mini-assembly line and test the units at various stages of their production with a mock-up test machine I made. At the price point, I beleive this is the best bargain out there!
