LMC5 Module with Unlocker and Tool Kit - C5 Corvette steering column lock bypass module with unlocking device and tool kit

This part was a life saver. My c5 would shut off if i went beyond 2 mph. I initially thought it was a motor problem but after doing research it turns out it was this LMC5 issue. My steering wheel did not lock therefore i did not need the unlock portion. The part came same day and install was very straightfoward. I watched a video as well as read the instructions which were all the same. Install took about 15 mins, the hardest part was releasing the wires from the pins. Once installed the car started right up and was back to normal. This would have probably cost me thousands had I taken it in for a diagnostic. The part is simple, quality is good and you cannot beat the price .

This is s great product and tech support is superb. I have a very custom 2001 Corvette (convertible , 6 spd) with a 1962 carbon fiber body so I am loath to have work done at the dealer. In any case, a few days ago the steering wheel locked-up (in my driveway thankfully) and in researching the problem I found that 1) this is a very common problem with C5 Corvettes and, 2) the LMC5 product was widely used and favorably rated everywhere. In my case because the wheel was already locked, I needed to purchase the kit with both the LMC5 and the Unlocker. The instructions are extremely detailed and one can also find helpful installation videos on You-tube. My situation was one of many different types of iterations of the problem, and not all troubleshooting techniques can (or should) be covered in the written instructions for the “unlocker” tool or the instructions would be the size of a phone book. In any case, after trying the most likely fixes outlined in the instructions to no avail, I spoke to Richard in Tech support and he walked me thru alternative methods for freeing up the steering column lock, which is done before completing install of the LMC5 product (which then basically bypasses the steering column lock permanently). All and all , a great product and phenomenal tech support.

I took my time with the installation of the LMC5 module. The instructions are very clear to understand. I like that the instructions took into account many possible scenarios the installer may confront. I think that it helps to not jump into conclusions, as far as whether to install the brown wire or not. After the installation was completed, I had both doors opened when I turn the key to on, but I did not start the car. The first thing I saw was door ajar....so I turn the car back to off. Closed the car doors and turned the car back to the on position a second time. I did see only once the pull key message, so I thought that maybe I needed to connect the brown wire, but I thought that maybe the BCM may need a third attempt to reset or configure itself. I choose not to connect the brown wire and started the car. It ran fine and no pull key was seen. I test drove in my driveway and then took the C5 corvette for a long 60 mile drive. I had 6 successful starts with no pull key message, so I am assuming that the brown wire is not needed and that the module works great. The reason that I installed the LMC5 was that my car (May 1998 - Corvette, Automatic) started to shut off after barely going forward and backwards too, as people describe it "2 mph shutoff. " I believe that this module has fix my issue. I feel so much safer with the LMC5 installed on my Corvette. Thank you.

Purchased with the unlocker. I tried all the online tricks to unlock it and nothing worked. This did it perfectly and now I'm back on the road. The unlock kit is a quality product that I can use it for trouble shooting other electrical issues. More then worth the extra $10 that it cost me.

I owned 3 c5 corvettes. This product sloves the steering column lock problem. Easy to install

Hope it works. Still getting pull out key warning

Easy install with great instructions and a you tube video to follow helped too. Chevy should never have taken the key off the steering column and us C5 owners would never have had this problem!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product & Amazing Support! I installed the LMC5 but it didn’t work at first. I followed the YouTube videos closely, but still ran into issues. So, I called the support number provided in the kit and spoke to a very helpful lady who said Richard would call me back to assist. Richard reached out quickly and guided me step-by-step through fixing the problem. Thanks to his help, the LMC5 now works perfectly! I tried calling back a couple of times just to thank Richard personally, but the lines were busy. So, I’m writing this review to say a big THANK YOU to Richard and the lady who picked up my call. Great support makes all the difference!
