Does anyone have an actual picture of the lock pin or lock mechanisim that keeps the steering wheel from moving when the key is not turned?

Is this some thing that is directly inside the ignition lock cylinder case? Im looking to do a keyless setup and have found that this will be my only real hurdle from making it a complete keyless push button system.

I've found that the C5/C6 has bypass boxes but the CTS/CtsV is not an electronic lock I beleive. The alldata info is a little vauge, and doesnt say anything in regards to the actual lock mechanisim itself.

Thanks!

Can anyone confirm this is the pin/spring/plate?

Please keep us updated with your findings. I've been wanting to do the same thing and this is the only thing that has stopped me.

From everything I have gathered this should be it. It is located in the ignition lock cylinder case and I think either a dremel or if a clean removal of the pin is possible this would suffice. The only issue would be if you park on a hill or otherwise.

I will keep this updated as I find things out.

I had the wheel off my V 50 times messing with my clock spring....I want to say it is just a pin and a plate...of which you can remove...but I may be remembering other cars. Keep us posted. The keyless push button start on my C6 is awesome. Wish the V had passive locking/ entry.

Advancedkeys.com wireless RFID keyless entry with push button start is the ticket I think. Paired with an 556UW PK3 bypass transponder and a lock pin removal will get me to where I would like to be.

BTW what was you clock spring issue? I have heard that this may be an issue with ctsvs but I dont know what would be much of a problem. Thanks

My clockspring has decided to lose connection on one wire of the ribbon cable which controlled my cruise.. And it was a huge fiasco to track it down.

That doesn't sound fun at all.
