Nothing with the battery if it runs but just the wheel does not turn. Thought the key would not turn either.

The steering lock is electronically controlled, could it be just a wire or has the electronic steering detent system failed?

Actually I'm still not sure from your posts if the key really turned? It could be EIS related if it doesn't.

OK, then it is not the electronically controlled steering wheel lock but the drive authorisation. Have you tried your second key? If both keys are inoperable, then it sounds like EIS, error codes would have to be read and if something is broken, it would be in practice a dealer fix.
