When we, (all farmers), got a new pickup and they began adding all those safety/convenience features the first order of business was to disconnect them all, especially the alarm.

I'm not anti-safety here... working in a pickup on a farm is very different than using one to simply drive down the road. So some of those 'convenience/safety' addons had to go or else you'd go stark-raving mad within an hour after you picked up your new pickup.

Well... can't do that anymore... well, you can but it's a big job. They don't make it easy on ya to customize. Some of our customizations weren't the safest... like seat belts... fastening it behind you instead of around you... you may frown at that but work a job in your pickup requiring 3 or 4 exits and reentries a minute and never having to exceed 5mph and see how long it is until you consider it. So we just hotwired it... meaning no warning at all even if you were traveling on the road. - JamesJM
