Default Security/Alarm System Issue

OK, this is probably very simple but I sure as heck dont have an answer. Hopefully you guys can help with some ideas. My son's 03 GT came from a dealership in OH and when I picked it up, they only had one key and it was attached to a dirty aftermarket looking alarm/opener fob. They of course didnt have a CLUE what kind of alarm the car had been installed or any other info. All I know is that there is a weird looking 4" module above the rear view mirror with little antenna's about 1" long coming out of both sides and this module has a wire running up under the roofliner. There are also two little 1/2" square modules on each side of back window that have wires running from them under the roofliner. An added bonus is that with this POS aftermarket setup there is no auto trunk opener which sucks as my son has to use the key to open trunk.
The dealership in OH and even a dealership here in St. Louis, MO said they had no clue about such things. They did not seem that interested in helping me.

Bottom Line:
A. How/Where can I find out info on what kind of alarm is in the car?
B. How hard ($$) will it be to have this POS removed and get car back to operating off stock security system / opener?
C. There has to be a master unit to this alarm hidden somewhere in car right? (please forgive me as I have no experience whatsoever with car alarms)

Thx in advance everyone.

Here's the pics of the modules.
Front / Above rear view mirror

Back / Inside shot drivers side back window

Back / Outside shot drivers side back window


There is another module on the passenger side back window also just like the drivers side.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Doh! Defrost eh.

I assume the glass break sensor is aftermarket of course.

And, now Im back to square one of not knowing anything about the aftermarket alarm on this car. Any ideas on where the main control unit is hidden?

Thanks guys.

Take it to any car/home audio/video store who offers automobile installs. most likely they have an MECP installer who does alarms as well. Id set something up with them for it to be removed.

Thanks for the help fellas. There's an auto alarm specialty shop less than 2 miles from my house. Going to take it to them and let them have at it.
