Yes it can. You can buy the kit from GM, which includes all the wiring, etc., plus a replacement seat belt for the passenger side. I have one that I was going to install on my '99, but I'm going to sell the car instead. If you would like, I could send you a pic of the kit and parts, etc. Drop me an EM this evening if you want.

They started adding the shut off switch in the middle of the '00 model year. I added the GM switch to my '99. If you are going to add a switch use the GM kit. In addition to the switch it also includes a new passenger seat belt (yes, they are different). I also added the center panel from an '00+ (ordered from Fitchners) for a finished look. If you plan to add the new light pannel be sure to add a resister in line because the light on teh pannel operates at a different voltage then the light that comes with the kit....and the light bulb will blow if you don't use a resister....and the bulb is not replaceable.
