Another popular option for Mechanical steering locks
is to simply “Release”
the lock. If you are not concerned about the lock actually being “removed”, but
could be happy simply having it “released” and hidden, there is another very
popular option that will work well for a large number of vehicles. With this method
rather then removing the existing steering column lock; you simply “Release it” by
leaving a cut key shaft in the lock. Simply use one of the vehicle’s ignition keys or
make a duplicate, then cut the “Head” of the key off and insert the shaft into the
lock, then turn it to the “ON” position to release the locking mechanism. Make sure
to leave enough of the key shaft so some sticks out of the keyhole. Use a pair of
needle nose pliers to turn the key. This will release the locking steering column, but
since 2GO Keyless™ is controlling the vehicles ignition system the vehicle will not
be able to be operated with out the iKey™ being present.
In conjunction with this approach, in many vehicles the Ignition switch can be
unbolted and moved off to the side or behind the dash. If your switch does not
unbolt from the steering column, usually a plastic or metal “Cap” can be found to
hide the existing switch hole. This approach usually saves a great deal of
installation time and for many vehicles is the preferred installation method.
*** When using this method on GM vehicles that have the security chip in the key
shaft this will also eliminate any further need to bypass the factory security system
since the chip is still in the lock.
