Our pre-programmed emulator requires no dealer coding, complex software reprogramming, or expensive towing.

Get your vehicle running today with direct New Zealand technical support.

A steering lock emulator is an electronic device designed to replace the communication normally performed by a faulty Electronic Steering Lock.

When the original ESL fails, the Electronic Ignition Switch may no longer be receiving the correct confirmation signal, preventing the vehicle from starting. An emulator replicates this signal, allowing the ignition system to operate correctly where appropriate.

This can provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative to replacing the complete steering lock unit, depending on the vehicle model and fault diagnosis.
