From my days of working in moving van rentals, I can say that cars will still drive just fine, even after the airbags have been deployed. I'm not even kidding when I say that people would come in to return the truck, and would be like: "uhhhh, so funny story!..." 😳

Just don't crash into anything on purpose while you are moving the car. It's bad for your teeth.

Yes, make just make sure the battery is disconnected before removing and reinstalling the module.

Do the seat belt tensioners work? Does the seat belt still retract?

Everything works fine.. I just want to delete the module.


Edit*
I disconnected the module and the car is driving fine. Only one red light on the dash. there are allso special littlle plugs you can klick on the connector of each airbag. Thats my next step.
