You can disconnect the cable, it's kind of a PITA but it would be a lot better than just cutting it.

i think he is talking about the cold start assist, the cruise control is on the drivers side.

Do you guys mean the hot start assist, or the sub-zero assist?

Hot start assist is on the drivers' side; sub-zero (some cars only) is a tank of fluid on the psg side.

Pic looks like a cruise control to me, but I never had that option.
