I had an amp installed at the audio store they did not wire to anything but when i came to pick it up the key won't turn at all!! Is it a code thing? I read the manual but I can't even get the key to turn to enter the code. ANY help appreciated thanks Beto

Yes I managed to jiggle the wheel into a locked position, now I'm wondering if it can still be towed if necessary. I also checked to make sure the tip was in park.

As TrackJunkie said, did you move the wheel so it is not pushing on the steering lock pin. Sometimes you have to hold the wheel off of the pin to get the key to turn. It is hard to explain but the wheel if it is up against the pin will not allow the key to turn.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Pull the wheel to the direction that takes the pressure off of the "stop" of the lock and at the same time turn the key. I noticed the problem when the car is on a side hill or when the wheel is really cranked over all the way.

yeah. i like to hear that. i love this place
had a sim. thing happen when i returned w/ date to my car after a dinner in the hills. panic hit... but found that if you force the wheel a bit w/o hitting it completely to the side... the key will turn. funny thing is is this is not just on the type 993's it also occured once in a while on my ol' 986.
cheers.
