Not sure about the whole 'under the seat' deal as mine is in behind the fascia, as part of the h/u but you can just ground out the handbrake sensor...
Just get in there and cut the wire (you'll know the one as it goes to a spring switch on the handbrake). You can either just straight ground it --
unit side, not HB side. Or you can put in a hidden rocker switch to enable 'safe-mode' which is wise.
There is a pin-out schematic in the audio section but it may not be suitable for your model, I'm not too sure.

I installed a reverse camera, but when i let the hand brake of it shut of the camera. so i found a wire going to the back of the screen and earthed it. this fixed the camera problem but no the sat nav. i have seen the thread on this site, it might have been a link to anouther site but it was from here i found it. there where pictures of the unit under the seat and which wire to cut.
