No, that would be against the law.

The computer would pick up on anything like that anyway.

No, the car is too new and GM has not released them to the public yet.

By passing the sensor would set a code in the air bag module and cause it to disable the system anyway.

You really need to remove the seat cover as the dealer suggested.
