03 Accord - Magic Start USA kill switch removal
I'm trying to remove a dealership installed "kill switch" called Magic Start USA. To engauge the car to start you hold a blue square mechanism up against a hidden pad, it beeps, and then allows you to start the car. I've always hated this and would like to remove it. I was under the steering column for another issue today and realized i should try to remove the magic start as well. Has anyone had any experience with this or know how to remove it?
I've taken some pictures of the wiring under the steering wheel to show how far I got.
The first picture shows where the honda connection met with the magic start wiring. (not in picture) I believe this to be a Honda part.
The second picture shows where I believe this honda connection is suppose to go. The mate piece being the gray colored unit to the lower right of the center of the picture. However, when I connected these two the car did not start. Also note the other grey colored unit in the picture that doesn't appear to have a mate. This was found hanging alone and am not sure if its related?
The rest of the pictures are just to help show the whole situation, however i'm not sure if they will help or not.
Does anyone have any thoughts?? Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Does anyone have pictures of wiring above the pedals? These underside pictures could help me determine my wiring issue.
