#2I love how clever this is!
If I wasn’t pretty sure that gunning the engine in park repeatedly is a bad idea (and would draw more than a few stares when done from a street-parking space in Manhattan) I’d give it a try.
Would very much like to see a video of someone using this.

#3First and last commit was in 2016 - has anyone ever gotten this working (and perhaps recorded a video)?

I’m also of the impression that dry turning the wheel isn’t great for the tie rods. But I welcome a car person to teach me the truth.

Surely, you’d do this key on-engine off. (Key on so the CAN bus is active; engine off for obvious reasons.)

Here is the video from the creator I think: https://www.vice.com/en/article/jpn45k/watch-this-dude-play-...

The amount of force you're putting into the system, regardless of if the engine is running (and therefore the power steering pump is pumping) or not, is a fraction of the forces the system handles constantly while going around a corner at 60 mph or hitting a pot hole.
It's perfectly fine.

Park the car with the front tires on two pieces of cardboard (each) to limit the turning forces.
I wouldn’t sweat it for the duration of demo or until you (quickly) got bored with it. You do the same everyday you parallel park a car.
