can you disconnect the factory alarm?

Is there a way to just diso the factory alarm. My girlfriends alarm keeps acting up. And from what i've read the factory alarm is pretty much useless anyways. Is there a way to just unplug it, so that she can still unlock/lock her doors normally but with no alarm.

there has got to be a way. Although I'm in the middle of figuring it out and right now my engine doesn't start. So don't decide to cut stuff out even if you are sure it's not being used.

ok, A quick call to my hot roddin' buddy. Aparently if you run the red wire from the ignition switch to the red wire from the engine bay (it's a black connector and runs to the alarm) you can disconnect the alram all togehter. I haven't tried it but I did cut out all the door stuff, all the brown wires except pin 8 and the black wire. Car runs fine.
