I think he means, can you turn the wheel if the engine is off, or if the engine is off but the key is in.
The answer to what I translated is: Power steering only works when engine is on, so answer is no, you need to turn engine on. Says so in the user manual.

I was going to help but I still can't make sense of your post, so I'm going to add in punctuation as I see fit and then answer.
I hope this helps.

Your frustration is understandable. The steering wheel’s knowledge of the ecs system is limited at best. Yes, I too turn with keys sometimes (but I rarely post about it on here - it's pretty common). Regarding off and with the key on engine off, in this instance the steering wheel is somewhat more familiar with the ecs than, say, in the instance of off and the key off engine on or on with the key off engine off.
I hope this helps.

eugeneweyker, why would you have to ask this question if you actually had the key? Is the 8 in question *cough* yours? And why do you suddenly "need help" with this to the point that you created an account just to ask this question?
Oh, and to answer your question, if you try to turn the wheel without the key in, the doors lock and the Homelink system calls the police.
