Default Column Lock Service on DIC

Where can I get a column lock bypass from for an 04 coupe?

I got one from Thunder Racing, but Corvettes of Houston also has one a lot of people buy.
Actually, my 2004 is still working with the GM Harness K relay and lockplate removed, but I carry the extra relay as a backup.

No it is not locked yet. Car has been in shop for a while and now service column lock is showing on DIC.

Ok ill prob get crap for this but oh well here we go..........When and if it locks take the keys out and shake the sh*t out of the wheel (left to right or right to left) for a few seconds then turn the key to ON and it should unlock if not do it again. Ive done it a couple of times and still drives just fine. Ok now start with the WTF comments
