I dont get it... When you take the key out it will lock the steering wheel when turned anyway. Are you people saying you disable it?
If so, how.... :?

if a theif breaks the ignition barrel off (which they often do) then the steering lock wont work anyway. This is what was done to my aw11 when I bought it, after doing so you can take the electrical part of the ignition switch off and turn it with just about anything
