    I'd think you'd be writing code to slip into some firmware somewhere. So not likely. You have to fool the body module or such . Just messing w immobilizer for keys is enough trouble . Disabling features would be something . The computer aren't that interested or tis alot of work not even heavy modders talk about it . So must not be a thing?

    Sure, every winter with our sensor-less snow tires.

    Appreciate you mean “make the light in the dash go out”, but for me at least, that’s surplus to requirements.

    Otherwise?
    If you're a talented auto tech you can take the dash apart and remove the LED.....
    You can also remove the sensors and use the PVC hack (ask the Googles....)
