Replaced the battery, checked the ECU taps and re-seated the ECU connectors. Still the same. Red icon with steering wheel and padlock and the car won't try to turn on. Start button just toggles between off and accessory mode. Arghh!!! Dealer said to tow it in but I'm going to check with the local independent mini shops first. I'm out of warranty.

Fuuuuug. Sorry to hear man.

I bet an indie shop with the right tool will be able to unlock it.
