GEN 2 Electric Steering no column lock

[Hockster]

Oh man who else loves the electric steering. Changing stuff on the gen 1 was a pain in the ass when you needed to have the key in to move the tires to do things. Man with this new system no key needed just turn the wheels where ya need to. I know its a small thing but I am happy.

You can turn the wheels with the ignition off? The ignition lock has gone the way of the horse and buggy, huh?

My Mazda6 has electric steering but it feels like it "locks" the steering wheel when the car is off. I will have to see if I can turn the wheel with it off now!

Ya did some front lights and was able to move the tires any way i needed no key. I love no power steering fluid coming out leaking when you force the wheels back and forth.
