Well, I loaded it on a flatbed and hauled it off to the Porsche dealer and he feels that the steering wheel lock is bad($780! including labor) and the wrong key insertion was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Sounds like baloney to me. Has anyone else ever experienced a similar problem?
Considering the entire assembly (latest revamped version) only cost about $120, you are getting hosed.....
