Just disconnect the battery (Disconnect the negative first!). You'll need a 10mm socket.

well disconnecting the neg is all you really need to do, but you could pull the ecu fuse and wait if you dont have the radio code, assuming stock hu.

disconnect the neg, step on brakes till the brake lights don't go on nemore, then reconnect the battery. if you have a learning ecu, then drive fast for awhile, and the car will be faster
