Help Identify stolen modules

Recently got my car was stolen. (V36 2007 G35 Sedan) The car was recovered in a bad state. The major issues are no start and steering wheel locked. (Note: haven’t had enough time to look at. )The car seems to go into ACC but not On nor cranks. I attached images to the post. I believe the power steering control module was ripped out explaining the locked steering. Always had possession of both key fob so the obvious messed with the ignition system. BCM seems to be intact. The screen from the stereo was ripped out. Let me know what you think and thank you in advance for the help. I will answer questions and provide additional photo if needed.

Glove box where screen/ stereo was connected and relocated. Stolen and ripped out



Right wire clearly ripped

It sounds like whoever took your car was looking some something specific. Whoever took out that steering lock module knows what he or she was doing because it's pia to get it removed at least on(37). The part alone cost brand new $600 ~ $1000. If the module was removed, i don't think it would lock the steering wheel because module is what locks the wheel. I don't' think you can get into ACC mode because module has security feature. Are you sure that's what's missing?

Does your car insurance cover any damages from stolen car? Maybe you could try to claim thru.
Other than replacing what' missing from your car, not sure what else you can do. BTW, what was missing from right side behind the glove box? something is unplugge.d

this is the steering module right? Originally I believe they messed with this to start the car and steal it. I now believe they reprogrammed their own keys to steal the vehicle. I now think nothing was really ripped out when it was originally started up and stolen. I believe the plastic pieces that were opened were by local bums that were near the area the car was left at. The missing piece from the glove box was the oem screen for nav that i relocated for an aftermarket one. I was told that shouldn’t affect start up. I am now calling in a locksmith to see if reprogramming my old keys back up works. Ill post back for the community if it helps someone maybe.

More than likely they cased the car, looked into the window at the VIN number, got a key cut based on the VIN. THEN came back, used the key to open the door, then programmed that key to work with the car using a handheld programmer, then stole the car.

If they were trying to make money they would have stripped the ECM, BCM, and a couple other easy to access electronics.

So after you fix the obviously broken stuff it will probably need to have your key/fob reprogrammed to the car again.
