Beep beep beep beep beep... Yes, I am aware the tailgate is open, SHUT UP!!!

:
2018 Mazda CX-9 GT
Is there any way to disable the tailgate open alarm whilst driving?

I picked up a TV Stand at Costco and it was a little too long for the CX-9 with the seats up. I figured no biggie, we'll just strap that sucker down and roll on. Everyone else does it with lawnmowers, ladders, etc. I've done it on every other vehicle I've owned.

No bueno. I get over 1-2 MPH and the CX-9 started beeping like mad. My wife was twitching for the entire ride home.
 
There's no way to disable it on my '12. You'd think they would have figured something out in the next generation.
