FOR BMW Mini Cooper ELV/ESL Steering Lock Emulator Compatible with BMW E90, E91, E92, E93, E60, E61, E63, E64, Mini R55, and R56. Emulates the ELV (Electronic Steering Lock) module. Plug-and-play installation — no coding required. Becomes active immediately after connection; no additional hardware or programming needed. Supports locking and unlocking functions via communication with the CAS/ELV module. ELV failure is a common mechanical issue in the steering column lock. When faulty, the vehicle may not start even with a fully functional key, as the ELV does not activate. Replacement and programming of the original ELV unit by a dealer is costly and time-consuming. This emulator bypasses ELV-related faults by simulating a fully operational steering lock. Note: - In some cases, vehicle access system error codes and counters must be cleared using a diagnostic tool. - Installation must be performed by a qualified ASE-certified mechanic. - Fault codes must be reset using appropriate diagnostic equipment. - This emulator is intended for use only when a faulty ELV has been confirmed via diagnosis. - Designed to emulate a working steering lock module. - Installation guide is not included. Professional installation is strongly recommended. - Color: As shown - Material: Plastic
