For all of these reasons I'd take the car back, tell them to pull it out and ensure the factory electronics aren't screwed with, and replace that dash panel now that there's two screw holes in it. No one should be f'iing with the electronics on modern cars or screwing things into the plastic dash panels of your car without your written permission.
No one needs a starter kill, if that's what it is, on a car with a rolling code wireless transponder. A starter kill doesn't make the car any more theft resistant. They used to put this crap in cars in the 1980s. It's 2016.
