Well, I turned it off using HPTuners, and yesterday I got the pull key and wait message, but I didn't care, by the time I noticed it I was doing 75 on the interstate..
Here's what I've got in my 'system' section of my tune:
and I can garuntee it didn't shut me down @ 2mph like it says it should.

With Hp Tuners, setting the Column lock to "disabled" or raising the Fail Fuel/Cut VSS speed to 255 mph will not disable the column lock. Either setting will prevent fuel cut off if there is a problem with the column lock.
The column lock is controlled by the BCM & the column lock relay.

I think what people are saying is the following.
You can program the engine control module to ignore any fuel cut-off from the body control module so the engine will aways run.
You can not program the body control module to quit trying to make the column lock work. You will still get the warning if something is wrong. If the lock is still connected it could still lock the column and then stick while the column is locked.
And finally - THERE IS NO PLACE TO INSTALL A TUNING CHIP IN A C5.
