Irritating beeps when starting engine
So at the risk of safety being compromised, I found the plug that makes the car beep if you start it without your seat belt on.

Under the seat looking back towards the rear, there is a small white plug that you just pull out, its the one on the very right while looking back. I just traced the cable from the sensor on the seatbelt plug. Easy peasy, no more beeping.

Disclaimer: Perform this at your own risk, I will accept no responsibility for fines or injuries due to not wearing your seat belt ;D

That is easily the only thing on my Pajero that irritated me. Any idea how that un-plug will affect airbag deployment?

I don't think it is attached as it does not throw a warning light on the dash. Furtermore it is not labeled yellow like all the other airbag related cables.
BUT
I will wait on your comprehensive testing and research before I commit to that statement.

Research in airbag deployment is like being the chicken for a bacon and egg breakfast - and testing is the pig.
Re: Irritating beeps when starting engine
I've unplugged mine, bliss reversing in the morning - logically if the car thinks I have my seat belt on then I cant see how it would effect the air bag deployment ?

Maybe the airbag doesn't know you are even in the car and driving
