He's wrong. You can buy the F55 suspension emulators to "trick" the car into thinking your non-magnetic shocks are still there. I don't know exactly where to find these, I read Mid-America. But I couldn't find them when I searched for you. They should be there though.
Or disable it in the computer.

You will need to either visit the dealer or find someone with a GM TECH II.. They can program it out of the BCM. It has to be programmed out and only a TECH II can do it OR like was previously stated, get SIMs. F-45 and F-55 are GM options. ALL options can be added to or removed from the BCM! If a dealer says it cant, keep looking until you find one that knows what they are doing!
Just for knowledge sake, if you own a ZO6, you can add the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sensors to your car and activate that feature using the Tech II You can also remove the TPM sensors from all 2001+ cars. (don't know why you would want to loose that function?)
