Be quite a bit of work, but "James Bond" the switch and put in an ejector seat. Gonna need a sun roof on that side as well, be awful messy without. Plus, prolly want a cover for the switch also, accidents happen! :)

Who said it’s gonna be deactivated? The way I read it they will no longer be required for new cars but nothing about being retroactivity removed.

Once you out an auto start kill kit on, the button still can turn on and off auto start. You just dont have to manually push it anymore

How about buzz the wife with a vibrater. Chevy has a vibrating seat when you get to close to something put that under the seat🤣
