Notify me when its in stockThe Chrysler–Jeep–Dodge Steering Lock Emulator is designed to replace the OEM ELV/ESCL steering column lock used in Chrysler 300C, Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011–2013) and Dodge Challenger (2012) models.
Steering lock malfunction is a common issue that prevents the vehicle from starting even though the key and immobilizer system work normally. This plug-and-play emulator completely bypasses the defective steering lock and allows the vehicle to start immediately — no programming required.
Manufactured by MK3, this emulator features high-quality electronics, durable connectors, and built-in lock sound for OEM-like operation.
Replacing the OEM steering lock at the dealership is costly, slow, and requires additional programming. This emulator provides a fast, reliable and cost-effective solution.

⚙️ Technical Overview
The OEM ELV steering lock contains a mechanical locking mechanism that often fails with age. When this happens:
-
The key is detected normally
-
Ignition responds
-
The engine will not start because the steering lock does not activate
In such cases, dealerships require ordering a new ELV steering lock and programming it — an expensive and time-consuming procedure.
This MK3 emulator bypasses the ELV entirely and restores start authorization instantly. No programming, adaptation or coding is required.
🛠️ Installation Instructions
-
Turn off the ignition.
-
Disconnect the OEM ELV steering lock connector.
-
Ensure the original steering lock is in an open (unlocked) position.
-
Plug the vehicle’s OEM connector directly into the emulator.
-
Start the vehicle — the emulator will take over ELV operation automatically.
