Thanks for that info, I hope I never need to use it. I was planning to
drive the car home and immediately disconnect the module.
Actually I was planning to drive the car home, get online and ask
someone to talk me through it. Since I don't have the car here to
look at, can you explain to me blindly what exactly I need to unplug?

That's exactly what I plan to do. Yes, I am really concerned. In the
short period of time I had the car, I drove it around the block and got
locked in. Took a few min of playing with the door locks to get it to
unlock, but it was cool out and not a problem. This time of year it
only takes about 3 min for a vehicle to heat up past 120 degrees in
the AZ sun.
