Slightly worried right now
well, if they got it up there, it will come down MUCH easier.

06 didn't have steering wheel lock either. I think only 05 with M6 had it.

Well got my car,, it needs a good bath,, 1st thing the battery was scrap, soon got a replacement,, BCM cleansed and put back,, found the original FOB and changed the battery in it (never expected that) Pushed the button,, started right up,, no warning lights and good oil pressure
only thing is the seats do not operate correctly and the HVAC display (LCD) is out
Drives well,, just thought I would do this update and thanks for the handful who put my mind at rest with this 08 model

Did you push the **** on the drivers side on the HVAC in, to try and turn it on?

Just a thought because if you push the **** in it turns the HVAC off and you will have a blank screen. Push it again and it turns on. Took me about a month to figure that out.

Ha,, never thought of that however just went and tried and and no,, the back light comes on but there is no digits, I have tapped the screen and nothing so I have a dead display, no biggie really for me at this time,, the seat issue not moving back and forward is more of an issue for me right now as I cant get to the bolts to take the seats out to fix the driver seat module,, that's likely to be my next post Thanks for your input, very much appreciated
