Default Remote start

I will be installing my motor soon and was wondering how I could disable the remote start system that was installed before I bought the car.. any idea where I should start?

Man, these remote start rigs are often more trouble than they are worth.

Were I in your shoes, the first thing I'd do is locate the brain for the alarm/remote start, and google-fu the install instructions. Then start working backwards off of those and remove everything associated with that system.

If you just want it disabled and not removed there should be an on/off switch (if it was pro install) Mine have always been installed below the steering column under the dash.
