Maybe you'll be able to buy a box to plug into the CAN bus and simulate pressing the button to deactivate it. Sorta like the auto-stop eliminator for that horrid feature (which saves less than 5 gallons of gas per year in my dad's Subaru - thankfully mine is one year too old for that).

No, the regulation requires that the system can be turned off or just the warnings; however the manufacturer wants to do it.

> 3.1.2. It shall be possible for the driver to manually deactivate either the ADDW warning or the ADDW system, depending on which of the two possibilities (or both) the vehicle manufacturer chose to make possible.

The full text of the regulation is linked at the bottom of the article.
