The N360 ELV Steering Lock Emulator is designed to replace the factory electronic steering lock used in premium VAG vehicles such as VW Touareg, Audi A8, Porsche Cayenne, Bentley and VW Phaeton.

These vehicles often experience steering lock motor failure, causing the column lock to jam, preventing engine start and triggering “steering lock fault / unreliable signal” warnings in diagnostics.

The N360 emulator eliminates the weak mechanical motor inside the original ELV and provides a stable, long-lasting electronic replacement. No CPU cloning is required — simply transfer the original car’s ELV CPU to the emulator board and install it.

⚙️ Technical Overview

Factory ELV steering locks used in large-platform VAG vehicles are known for:

• Motor jamming / relay failure

• Stuck locking bolt preventing ignition

• ECU detecting “unreliable signal” fault

• Steering column refusing to unlock

The N360 simulator solves these issues by:

• Eliminating the mechanical locking motor

• Providing a 100% electronic ELV simulation

• Allowing the vehicle to start normally

• Maintaining CAN communication with the J518 module

Simply move the original ELV CPU to the emulator board to ensure perfect vehicle compatibility.

🛠️ Installation Instructions

1. Disassemble the original ELV unit.

2. Remove the factory CPU from the ELV board.

3. Solder or mount the CPU onto the N360 emulator board.

4. Install the new board into the ELV casing.

5. Reassemble the steering lock and reinstall it into the vehicle.

6. Clear any fault codes if necessary.

⚠️ Important: If diagnostics show a “unreliable signal” type fault, verify wiring and ELV status before installation.
