thing about this lock is these are made in germany (probably by TRW) and there's nothing less convincing than letting the germans make electronic parts. some will work great, some will fail. no consistency.
I figure that the whole point of having it is to drive it.

I have, therefore I drive.

sh!t. Germans and car electronics is a match made in hell. We're probably lucky they're not catching fire or something.

Regarding steering lock failures. Cold weather may be a cause to the failures. Has anyone polled failed users what time of the season they failed?

IIRC: the failed Rev C member, had his fail on a day when the temps did not get higher than 40-49 degrees.

Both Z's are 2009 models and both have about 35k miles on them.

My Z: mfg date 01/09
Part # JF00B-B1-01
35k mi

The bros Z": mfg date 10/08
Part # JF00A-B1-01
35k mi

No failure yet, fingers crossed.

My failure was the C revision and it was in the 50's the day it failed. I doubt weather has anything to do with it, but who knows.

Nice job deamon. Looks great.
