Find the speaker (usually in the engine bay) and follow the wires to the box, it's probably inside the car somewhere.

hmm that might explain the lil red button under my clove box??? i gotta do some looking il post after thanks for the help!

should be under the dash where the fuses are, thats the most common place, the button is to disarm the alarm, previous owner may have put it there, but really the unit is somwhere else, the button should be hidden and only you know where it is, its common to have it near the unit where the fuses are, previous owner put it there so no one could find it but him, good luck!!

p.s. it isnt to hard to take it off, but if its a good alarm, just buy a remote at any local car audio shop, they should have it, or order one for you, but you would have to program it.
