ok ill see how late model bmws lock the steering wheel
They did that in a top gear episode. Whilst one of them was in a cafe with the key, the other guys secretly jumped in the car (i think it was a camaro). They drove it out onto the highway where it died and left it there. I think the range was about 20m.

The new Lancer and Outlander also have proximity keying.

Either way, it all comes back to the electronic steering lock being scary.

Dont some of the t56 models use a lockout solonoid for reverse? Perhaps that could be used?

All sounds like more trouble than its worth to me. I am just going to do my best to fabricate a column cover that is as small as possible and just live with the key in this location.
