R56 No Steering Wheel lock for 2008 models?
#26
I think that the only way to test it would be to lock the car, place the fob out of range, unlock the car with the physical key and see if the steering wheel is locked.

No Comfort Access and No SWL on mine. (Did think they were 'mandated' but glad not to have it.)
Previous two cars w/SWL did have failures of that 'feature' causing 'stranding' and expensive fix.
Mine is a week 12 build w/intermintant Auto Transmission 'Park' Lock and would rather not have that 'feature' as well.
Rather have these features as an option, or at least the option to disable.
Would make sense to have a Park/Fob removal interlock..
MINI 'knows' and trixy shows a graphic of car rolling if you don't have her in Park
Know all makes w/button-start have it, but can't see the point of Brake/Starter-interlock either,
Yes to Neutral/Park Starter-interlocks.

That fact had passed me by, so I just had to go chck and Shawn does not have a steering lock. I never deliberately engage it, but I make sure to disengage the (non existent) lock if it would cause a problem, so I'd never noticed that.
