I hope it can be disabled by the manufacturer upon request, like the E-Call system (microphone+GPS+radio device that should trigger an emergency call in case of actioned airbags).
It is something that some workers in some department at the manufacturer's should know. Like for the E-Call: it is in the European law that it may be disabled (by the manufacturer and not by the car owner), but your interfaces to the manufacturer will easily not know.
