yes. i tried that.

actually, the issue is, the key knob cannot detect that the gear knob is totally in P position.

[Dunno]

Errmmm...how does gear knob screws affect your ignition keys?

 

The guy removed the screws behind the gear knob so that he can remove the knob so that the console panel can be removed to access the lights. Nothing to do with the ignition keys section. There's no linkage. Is your gear shift firmly in P? If it's not P, you cannot turn the key to remove it at all after you off the engine.

Step on the brakes and shift the gear up and down a few times then try again.

try shifting ur gears again. use the lock function beside ur stick.

 

i doubt it has got anything to do wif the mod u done recently..u might need to get it checked.

[Gohsj89]

As the Auto Car got this design,

 

Gear Knob must be at P position for the key to come out.

Could it be that the P Position is not tight enough?

 

I have P---->2, 2---->P many times already..

[Karebu]

sidetrack.

 

is there a way to allow key to be taken out when in neutral (automatic)? i noticed that most cars in indo can do that.

 

edit: well, of course, not using the bypass button/slot

the gear shift is not fully shifted and sitting in P gear, thats causes your key kana stuck... i think its not aline properly while fixing back the console

 

Im having this problem also while after changing the console DIY.

 

try to use abit of force while shifting into P , your key should be able to take out.
