You can deactivate the module by using the turning signal. Check their website for the proper sequence. That's is of course if you can get the ignition in acc mode on.
If the car is flat out dead and it's not the battery,
you may need to remove the module. Battery issues are quite common, maybe it's not the module.

I would remove anything aftermarket connected to the car before making a battery claim. Specially if Lithium ($$$$). Check "good to know" app regarding the fuse box procedure to open the trunk.
The warranty booklet is clear, either 6k miles per year or use tequipment charger. My dealer is belligerent with warranty, so I get prepared beforehand. Maybe yours is more civilized.
