Usage Tips: For BMW and Mini Cooper ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator Features: - Compatible with BMW models including E90, E91, E92, E93, E60, E61, E63, E64, and Mini models R55, R56 - Emulates the ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) module - Plug-and-play installation — no coding or additional hardware required - Enables locking and unlocking functions via communication with the CAS/ELV module Overview: The ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) is an integrated security component in the steering column. When it fails, the vehicle may not start—even with a fully functional key—because the steering lock cannot be disengaged. Replacing and programming the original ELV module through a dealership is costly and time-consuming. This emulator provides a functional replacement that bypasses a faulty ELV module. It does not require coding; simply connect it to restore operation. Note: - In some cases, fault codes and memory counters must be cleared using a diagnostic tool - Installation must be performed by a qualified ASE-certified mechanic - After installation, fault codes must be reset using appropriate diagnostic equipment - This emulator is intended for use only when a faulty ELV has been confirmed via diagnostics - Designed to emulate a fully operational steering lock module Installation guide not included. Professional installation is strongly recommended. Color: Black Material: Plastic Package Contents: 1 × ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator
