Say goodbye to the inconvenience and frustration of a failing steering lock. Our state-of-the-art emulator is designed to replace your vehicle’s faulty steering lock entirely, ensuring a smooth and reliable driving experience.
When a steering lock reaches the end of its lifespan, it can result in a no-crank condition, causing none of the dashboard lights to turn on, steering wheel to remain locked and displaying a message like “Remove Key / Don’t forget your key” on the cluster.
In addition, the vehicle may store the following fault codes :
B2254 Column Lock Module Internal.
A22449 The electronic ignition lock has a malfunction. There is an internal electrical fault.

What is a steering lock emulator? It is a device that emulates the electronic signals the vehicle needs to receive in order to operate, but since it does not contain any mechanical parts as the original steering lock, nothing can wear out and fail.

Yes, the emulator is designed to replace a faulty steering lock. You need to remove the faulty steering lock from your column.

No, we don’t need your steering lock. If you do send it in, it will not be returned (because of shipping weight limit).
-Does the emulator change any of the vehicle functions? Do I lose any features by replacing the electromechanical steering lock with an emulator?
No, you don’t lose any features aside from the steering wheel lock.

    I recently experienced the failure of the mechanical Electronic Steering Lock (ESL module) in my Mercedes 2014 C63. This component is well known to fail at any point in the service life of a Mercedes and can leave you stranded with a locked steering wheel in the middle of nowhere.

    After much research online, I ended up choosing Y Tech from dozens of vendors offering similar services to replace the mechanical ESL (prone to failure) with an ESL emulator that will never fail.

    With my only choice being the dealership and getting the same mechanical ESL installed which could fail again in the future, an emulator was clearly the way to go. But, what about shipping your EIS (ignition module) and your key fob to some random company you found online? It’s hard to trust any vendor with irreplaceable components from your car in order to program an ESL emulator.

    Well, I am glad I trusted Y Tech with this job. They received my EIS and key fob and turned around an ESL emulator in under 2 business days. They even programmed me a spare key fob to replace one of mine that had failed a year ago.

    So, why a 5 star review? Well, my car started beautifully with this new ESL module installed today. This vendor did exactly what he promised he’d do and the added peace of mind I now have driving with a module that won’t randomly fail on me in the future is worth every penny.

    I’ll be back for more services from this vendor. You can count on it!

    First Class service!
    Y-Tech supplied an Emulator to bypass a faulty steering lock control module, reprogrammed the EIS & 2 original keys, for my ‘14 Mercedes c250/w204. He had this done & headed back to me, in Fla, before 24hrs had passed. I can honestly say, it was the fastest turn around time Ive experienced, in Any product supply & repair situation. He answered a cpl questions my mechanic had, without reservation or hesitance, truly all around Great service! A++++.
    My only complaint is they’re not physically closer to me…If I were in VA, Y-tech would be the only automotive service & repair company I’d utilize.
