    How long do you have to fish it out? I can't physically help till Sunday, but I have a brand new in the box unit I can take a picture of and text to bilknutz later tonight if that would help you know what to look for.

    Installers typically tuck the control module(s) up by the steering column. I'm sure as soon as you pull the lower dash apart (the part that holds your coin tray and obd2 port) you'll see where the factory wiring has been hacked into. I've seen the control module mounted in the center console as well, but most shops will put them close to where all the wires already are (by the steering column).

    Under the column area, just get the brains you can get a new harness cheap.

    Might be worth fishing the antenna out depending where the shop put it.

    Here's what to look for. From left to right:

    remote
    control module (brain)
    shock sensor (might be mounted under the center console)
    antennae (probably up on your windshield)
    remote pager
    siren

    Might not look exactly like that, but should be close if you bought it within the last 8 or so years.
