Very interesting, never seen one except on the 108s and 109s. Anyone have a link or a pic of one?

Read the dates after the descriptions....you are talking about your alarm system...NOT an Ivory steering wheel!

551 anti-theft warning system (с 01.11.1978 по 31.03.1998)
anti-theft/anti-break-in warning system with anti-towing system (с 01.04.1998)
