Since switching off the airbag could lead to significant legal implications if you were in an accident, I doubt you'll get any direction regarding that.

+1. If this is really about the dash light (which also has anti tampering electronics logic), get out the tape of the appropriate color/type. That or some kind of rubbed in paint are the practical options--at passenger's' risk. The light also interacts with baby seat placement FWIW, so it isn't just "regular" passengers.

Not aware BTW it can be done w/ VCDS. 20 years ago there was a procedure and TSB for that for rear side air bags with potential risks for small kids, but I haven't seen that published in many years.
