NASA requires that the steering lock be removed. Can I remove the complete switch unit and wire to a toggle switch and push button start. Is there any kind of anti theft built into the switch that I will need to work around.
Local Mazda dealer is no help. If its outside whats in the shop manual they are lost

Re: NC steering lock defeat/remove
There's an antenna built into the black ring around the ignition key slot. Assuming you're using the stock ECU, and you want to use a separate ignition switch, you'll have to relocate the antenna, and rig a key to be kept in the center of the antenna -- positioning is fairly critical. Once that is done, you can use any switch you like.

Does it need to be removed or just disabled? It's a lot simpler just to cover the hole in the steering shaft with a thin piece of aluminium.
