I got an 05 aero 3 weeks ago and initially I got the wonderful steering lock malfunction the day after I bought it, thankfully its been like 2 weeks since I've seen it pop up so maybe it fixed itself? It didnt show up on a tech 2 scan as being busted so I have no idea what's going on

Hi. Just wondering, do you put in new ISM and it works? Just any that is the same one? No programming for keys or imo needed?

Very nice video! One note though, the shifter trim has two tabs in front that hook on plastic of central console. In my opinion it's better to make sure they fit in the right place, and then when shifter trim is installed you can install the rubber mat.

Nice video. I was wondering if you had any saab floor mats available? If so how much would you want I live about an hour away from Columbus

I own the illuminated ISM for 15$ last year πŸ˜€
Edit: Also i fixed the famous "steering lock malfunction", I was cleaning my previous ISM about 2 times, but fault always is back. My car is MY08, but old ISM was produced in 2014 – little curiosity πŸ™‚
Summarizing, 11 years older ISM is better xD
