The correct way would be to code it out.

Either that, or a hammer.

Older cars did not allow this.

you could, but then you would most likely have an error show up...as stated before, the best/proper way to do it is have it coded out...

Actually, you can't on this car without losing function(s). For example, if you have xenons, then you'll lose the ability to flash to pass. If you have halogens, you'll lose flash to pass AND high beams entirely.
