Urgent - Car stuck in park in middle of road!
Howdy all.
Got my 940 started... Woohoo! Failed at putting the radio code in, so it isn't working for the next hour. Car was still idling, figured I'd drive it around the block to make sure it was in good order. I pull forward about 15 feet in drive, and the car totally dies. No electrical, no nothing. Put it in park to get out and see what's up, now I can't even move it from park and it's blocking the road. Is this an anti-theft thing? Any ideas on how I can force it at least into neutral so I can get it out of the road?

Does it have a shiftlock override button?
"Shiftlock release
The gear selector is locked in the P position. To manually release the shift lock, turn the starting (ignition) key to position I and press firmly on the "SHIFTLOCK OVERRIDE" button located near the base of the gear selector (see illustration). While holding the override button down, move the gear selector from the (P)ark position."
