Disconnecting Identity brand Vehicle Protection system.
My daughter has the Identity brand Vehicle Protection system that was installed at the dealership with little or no explanation about what it was or why they were doing it. The dealer is now out of business, no other dealerships in the area are familiar with this item and we're afraid to take the remote apart for fear that it will shut down her car for good. We think the battery may be dieing in the remote but would rather just have the who system removed. Even when the button to activate it is pushed the car doesn't always want to start. Sometimes takes several minutes to get it to start. Does anyone know where in the vehicle this would be located so it can be removed?

Yes, try an automotive electric shop.
Ask for a quote first then decide.
Also I suggest just disconnecting it (if possible) and leave the hardware in place for reconnection later if you decide to use it in the future.

Been reading up on relays and kill switches. I'm a "do it yourself-er" with just enough knowlege to be dangerous to myself! When my daughter gets here I'm going to go exploring to see what I can find under the dash. The skypatrol links were helpful although it's a much more advanced system than this one. I just wish there was someone who knows where this particular device would be.
By "Identity brand" do you mean the maker is called "Identity"?
There is no infomation for this on the internet.
If it is a lojack device you cannot "do it yourself"

Thank you for the good information. In the end, my daughter found someone who had the same clicker on her keys and asked if she had the contact information for the company. The web address is www.888notheft.com. I hope this might help other with this problem.
Glad to be of some help.
Thanks for the points.

We will check under the dash in the morning.
If it's beyond my skill level then
do I try an automotive electric shop?
