How to Unlock Steering Wheel w/o Electricity?
 

In a normal car you'd stick the key in and turn it to "on" to unlock the wheel so while pushing the car you can turn the wheel to maneuver it. With this push button system is there any way to turn the wheel with a completely flat battery?

No. Kinda niche scenario. Any reason you can’t just give it some juice?

Battery is flat and won't take a jump. I was able to push it straight out of the garage and the tow truck was able to maneuver into a good enough positon, but in a normal car I would have turned the car on the way out of the garage to get it in a better position for the tow truck.

Buy a jump pack, one with a real battery (not one of the little thing with 16ga cables) and keep it around for situations like this

My running T150 with dual batteries was connected with thick jumper cables to the BRZ's terminals and the dash wouldn't even come on. I don't think a little battery jumper would have done anything. The dealer replaced the battery so when I pick it up I'll get whatever info I can on why it died and why the car had no power when connected to 14.2v.

I have jump started dual battery diesel trucks at -20f with one of these- https://www.jbtools.com/booster-pac-...-cranking-amps . Jumper cables can only charge progressively, they don't carry a charge as soon as you connect them. With that said, you should get at least something after a minute or two, there's definitely more wrong than just the battery if it wouldn't receive some sort of power

The battery has/had a short. Disconnect the red lead from the battery... attach to jumpers from running truck, essentially feeding your BRZ and bypassing the dead/short battery... car should get good voltage.

Dealer said the battery had a bad cell, they've been seeing this some on recent new Subarus. Also, he agreed that if I'd disconnected the battery, then attached the jumper cables only to the BRZ's battery cables I would have had power and been able to jump it and drive it to the dealer. If you have a newish Twin remember this.

This is a bad idea. Without the battery in the loop, the voltage regulator is unlikely to function correctly and you’ll get spikes that fry electronics.

Using the trick to power the car and unlock steering, okay; starting it without the battery in the loop, not advisable.
