Is there a way to disable the damn panic alarm on the remote? Several times
I've either hit the panic button inadvertently while attempting to lock the
doors or I set it off while placing the keys in my pocket. I really do not
need or want this feature.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Use a mallet.
 
Go to your dealer, the service or parts guy might be able to reprogram your
remote, but I dont know if they can disable that. (Perhaps you can try a
piece of electrical tape over the button?)

The remotes are easy to take apart. Just pry them apart at
the notch near the top. One you have the case in two parts,
take out the guts. You can peel off the rubber part with the
buttons. Once you have that off, identify the exposed wiring
traces under the panic button and cover these traces with
electrical tape. The samll black pad under the panic button
contacts these traces when you push the button and shorts
them together. By covering the traces with tape, you are
preventing the contact. Reassemble the remote and test.

A wood chipper would work too :-) I like that feature though, it's fun
for scaring people, especially kids that play hockey too close to the
car.
