Yes. Mr Ignition offers full ESL emulator programming services. Our technicians can remove your old steering lock, install the emulator, and correctly program it to your vehicle’s EIS (Electronic Ignition Switch) system. This ensures your car recognises the new unit and operates just like the original lock.

You should consider installing an ESL emulator if your car’s steering lock has failed, jammed, or is displaying dashboard errors such as “Steering Lock Fault” or “Remove Key and Try Again.” Replacing the original ESL can be expensive, while an emulator offers a cost-effective and reliable alternative that restores full ignition functionality.
