do you mean the immobiliser next to the hazzard/heated window switch? If so i'd like to do away with it too. I'm down to my last 'key' and when that goes it's going to be a real pain.

trace all the wires from that control unit and disconnect them from where they are spliced into the cars wiring loom, you will also prob have one or two wires cut and each end going into the immobiliser, just cut from the immobiliser and rejoin the original wires
