I would try unchecking address 15 - Airbags from the install list of the gateway and see what happens...

You will defo need resistors,  as even if you turn off side airbags in the airbag module you'll still have a fault light.

Here is a link to how to make them

Yes because I can't be arsed with it, I created the guide for people to follow not for me to make up,  as people mess me around.

Yeah no I really wouldn't do that tbh.

You need a 2.2 ohm resistor set up like this...
