There are delete/bypass boxes available on the aftermarket, and some models can be directly unplugged with no side effects (other than Emergency Response or Onstar not working).
Thats really good for folks to know, thanks for mentioning it!
Where?
For Subarus, I found this.

I had to use this on my car because the speakers are routed through the DCM module. Not every vehicle requires a delete kit or replacement module, but some do. As with any aftermarket car modifications, check the year, make, and model for compatibility.
In general, looking for “Onstar/DCM delete” tends to work.
Simply unplugging the cell antenna is probably enough.
But on my Outback I had to get a custom adapter made to bypass the box, and keep my front speakers and mic. It cost maybe $80 for the whole custom adapter to be made for me so it was plug and play, but well worth it.
Yep. Explained in another reply above, but I had to do the same thing on my Subaru-manufactured car.
