the rf box is under the shelf on the drivers side of your car. take the one wire plug off, but you will need tro be close to that window to open your car..

You don't unplug the whole box, just the blue aerial wire.

If your car is turning over OK, then the battery is not being flattened by the RF receiver.
I suspect your starting problem is elsewhere.

I agree, weak battery giving low cranking speed or loss of synch between the engine ECU and BECM.
