Not as easy as disconnecting the power wire on a factory-installed alarm. Your alarm runs through the BCM (Body Control Module).
I don't think you can turn off the alarm through the computer, but call your dealer and ask them if it can be done. It may require them to reprogram it, which would cost anywhere from about $40 to about $90 depending on how they charge.
Your car should have a disarm switch on the key cylinder to de-activate the alarm when using the key. It sounds like your switch has gone bad. It probably won't go off when you use the key in the passenger side door, as both doors have the key-switch.
The door switch costs about $45 plus installation if you have someone do it for you (approximately 1.5 hours labor, it requires removing the door trim panel).
The new transmitter costs about $85, it will have to be programmed, some dealers charge to program, others won't charge. If you have an owner's manual, it may tell how you can program it yourself, if possible.

Try this first! Open the hood, and look between the radiator and A/C condenser (mounted in front of radiator) and check the front of the condenser, too. Make sure there's no leaves or other stuff crammed in there blocking the air flow, clean out anything that's in there. It's free and easy, and is often overlooked. If that's all good, or you clean it and it continues overheating, then check to make sure one of the radiator fans is turning on. It should come on when it reaches a certain temperature. If it doesn't come on, it could be a coolant temperature sensor/switch, relay, or the fan motor itself gone bad. May need to take it to your mechanic to have them check which is causing the problem if you don't know how to. If the fan comes on like it should, then go ahead and replace the thermostat if it hasn't been changed recently, it's fairly cheap and easy to do. If it still overheats after that, then it is something blocking the flow internally. First thing to try then is flushing out the system. If that doesn't work, it might need a radiator, or other work. Again, might consider taking it somewhere to have it checked out instead of throwing parts at it if you get this far.

Locate the power source and disconnect the wire.
