Default Stranded by column lock last night

Stoped on the way to work and the car stalled and took a few times to get running. Came out after work and the column was locked for good. Luckily I had purchased thr LMC5 and column unlocker about a year and a half ago and put it on today. Everything worked good and hopefully that’s the end of that. I never had a problem before so don’t think it can’t happen to you. I should have installed before I had a problem

Yep, I got the 'pull key, wait 10 seconds' message once on my 99 C5 and that scared me into installing the LMC5 right away. No problems since.

Not "if", but "when!"
