Remote start

MY 06 came with a remote start which I have never used other than trying it when I bought the truck (it worked). Last winter while the truck was in my shop , the heat was off , it started by itself. I was south for the winter and got the phone call that it had started. . I assumed that the remote start was set to start at a certain temperature and forgot about it. This winter I have the truck here in Arizona and it has started itself three times. I was close by for all three, opened the door and hit the brake pedal which stopped it. I thought I would disable the system but have not found the module. I did find the bypass module called Pats, and unplugged one connector with two wires. Do not know if I have disarmed the system or not. Found the website , www.autoremote.ca but it is blank. I am hoping someone out there has the same system and can give me more info. My remote is back in Balzac and I might have it sent down here but with no owners manual don't think that will help.
Last night 0330 hrs. it not only started but the horn alarm started as well and also woke up several neighbors. Then again at 0530, started and stopped a couple of times. I went out and disconnected the batteries. Today will do a search for the module.
Any help is welcomed.

My autoremote started out causeing random starts at all hours. Then it progressed to horn honking and lights flashing. The worst of all problems was when it shorted to ground internally and caused my truck's data network to be interrupted. The data network is the communication between all the modules in your truck with this network interrupted the truck will not start. The message "no bus" will be displayed in the dash. The gauges will also stop reading. In my case the truck threw a ECM short to ground code I believe it was P1684. The troubleshooting for that code will lead you to ECM replacement if not troubleshot thoroughly. I chased powers and grounds one day still "no bus". Then I decided to remove the remote start; the wiring job done on this remote start by who ever installed it was horrendous. The wires were twisted together and taped! I am lucky my truck didnt burn down! I removed the remote starter and wow the data bus came back online and the truck fired right up. My controller for the remote start was located on the left side of the steering column under the dash above the large electrical connector. I removed the side cover located on the left end of the dashboard and could see it along with the antenna wire for the key remote. I hope this helped you. My truck is an 05 2500.
