"Can the accessory and ignition wires be swapped and remote start still work?"
NO! If apply the same method on other car you will get more lights lit up than your Christmas tree at home. So test your wire and do more reading first! To me it seem like you don't understand how to differentiate the difference between the two wire. Anyway, this is how.
You don't have second ignition, only SECOND ACCESSORY.
"I'm sure I'll figure it out when I'm under the dashboard but if anyone has a clue I'd greatly appreciate it. Also I've heard routing the disable wire thru the driver door is a pain. Any slick method to make this procedure easier? Wire grease?
As a side note where exactly is the "OEM alarm disarm" . One post says driver door, the other say secruity module under passenger seat, and I think the helms shows a blue disarm in the mux unit in the door."
You don't have to do any of that.
Connect your arm and lock wire together from your aftermarket unit and tap it in to the factory lock wire. Connect your disarm and unlock wire together from your aftermarket unit and connect that to the factory unlock wire. You are done.
