Hi, just for knowledge what the difference between the LMC5 & the original column lock bypass ?

LMC5 .


Original column bypass.

I don't know the difference as I've never had the need to do any research, but I've had the original CLB installed since 2007. 1 little hiccup when I first installed it and nothing since. Been a great fix so far for my car. I believe though that the LMC5 might take the whole lock system out of the picture and the CLB just tricks the system into thinking the lock is still working. Someone more knowledgeable will chime in I'm sure and correct me.

I think you are correct. I had the original CLB installed on my 2000 and never had a problem - not sure if the LMC5 was available at that time.

This is correct. The orignal CLB, that I have on my Z06, you pulled the dash bezel off, de-activated the column lock, unplugged it and plugged in the module. The computer thinks it is working. The LMC5, which I put on my convertible, bypasses the entire system. Both have been flawless, but given the choice between the two, I would pick the LMC5. Easier install as you don't have to take anything apart, and I think less chance of failure.

Had the OG CLB for almost 20 years...no issues

Well, I see posts all the time about trouble with the LMC5. "Call Richard" "Brown wire mod" etc etc.

The original CLB, may be less tech in nature, but mine NEVER failed. Worked fine all the time.

I have the LMC5 on my car & still getting the wait 10 seconds message now & then 🙃 .
Will the original column lock bypass eliminate it ?

The Brown wire mod might eliminate it. Contact Compliance Parts to discuss.

I did the brown wire but did get the wait 10 seconds while in the car wash 😄

I have both, the original was fine and then I got the fuel cutoff problem at 1 or 2 mph. iirc the lmc5 fixed that. There was something else I did to bypass the shift lock too

Just for my knowledge, is it only the manual transmission cars have the column lock problem ? if not what years are affected ?

01-04 cars with auto trans are exempt
All the rest can have this problem
