I would need to disable remote start (from the key fob) for safety reasons (small children). I don't want them to start accidentally my Jeep in the garage. Does anyone know how to do this? I did not find it anywhere in the Jeep settings.
It also looks that Tazer JL cannot do this. I can probably disconnect a hood sensor (it worked on JK). It would also help with ESS but then I get a warning light.

How would a little kid even start the Jeep? They have to push the start button 2 times in a row? Do you let your kids play with the remote? If you're that worried, pop the hood when you get home.

Simple solution - when you park it in the garage, attempt a remote start with the fob while the door is still open. Remote start will be disabled until you push the ignition button.

O.K., finally I found a good and simple solution - disassembled the key fob and cut a part of the remote start button.
For a few bucks I also ordered a new key fob cover with the buttons so I can return it back if I would ever need it.

Didn't realize you were looking to "permanently" disable it. That would definitely do it :like:

Perhaps keep an eye on your kids and don’t let them play with your keys?
