The mods to disable the thing have to be cleanly reversible.

What if you disconnect the speakers? Do they have a sensor for that? If so, replace them by an 8 ohm impedance.

An alternative amplifier can be connected to the speakers then. Or just use portable bluetooth speakers.

If driving alone, for music, I would then listen on headphones. That's illegal in many places but at that point, having had to disconnect the speakers, I'd be acting out of spite.
