For those of you who have removed airmatic from the cars, have you removed the suspension buttons behind the shifter? Was looking for a place to install my Radar detector mute button and some power buttons for some other stuff I have in the car.

Can I remove the button module without triggering any alarms?

yes you can

I have left mine in. They even still light up, but have no function once the system is coded out.

Awesome thanks guys!

On the flip side has anyone found how to replace that base plate with a non buttons one?

I have coilovers and removed the airmatic buttons piece in the shifter assembly.

I have parking sensors so I found a non-airmatic with parking sensor buttons piece on eBay.

Was a 5 minute swap, just lift the shifter surround, unscrew the airmatic part and screw in the airmatic-less part.

The last trace of the airmatic junk in the car is now gone =)

No parking sensors here so I swapped the whole plate, from one I found on ebay.de, it's is a 2 minutes job and no coding or errors:
