Are you 110% there isnt a remote start anywhere in there? I would just take a peek around to make sure, I bought mine and was under the assumption I didnt....until it tried to start itself while running one day......found the box under the panels right under the steering wheel. I would just take a look if you already didnt.

Btw off topic nice lamb of god quote in your sig.!
