Default Is this Column Lock Bypass correct?

Bought this used from someone on the forum a few years ago. Is this the appropriate bypass or do I need something else instead?
The brand is C5 Solutions.
Thanks for the help. Here’s a photo:

The thing is, you have it in hand, so no additional cost. Did it come with connection instructions? Hook it in and see how it goes. If it fails -- which it won't -- then you could shell out for the LMC5, but why pay interest on trouble before it is due?

Thanks— my thought, too. No instructions but I plugged it in per some notes online.
