If I could deactivate it my self in software like you can on a BMW with Bimmerlink, I would do it myself.
I unplugged my Mk6 GTI's noise maker myself by pulling the cable. It worked fine but over time I ran into a minor issue of hearing the disconnected cable and connecter rattling inside the car. I'd like to prevent that in this car. In both this car and the GTI, there doesn't seem to be a good way to secure the loose cable to prevent rattling in the future. I don't want to be constantly popping off the trim piece to secure a loose cable/connector.

Look you really clearly want the dealer to do it via software (for which they will probably charge you $50 or so), so do that.
But you don't need to make up stuff just to convince yourself. There are literally about 20 different ways, things you can do to secure the cable with a zip-tie once you unplug it. If you don't believe me take the 5 seconds it takes to remove the passenger dash cover and look for yourself.
