It's exactly the same as the disable dongle. Pin 6 gets grounded for Disabled mode, pin 5 gets grounded for Autonomous mode. The risk isn't that great, but since this information hasn't been published by Innovation FIRST it's worth pointing out that it might void the warranty. And, I don't want someone to try it and screw it up and say "I did what you said and it screwed up the OI!" If you feel comfortable building the disable dongle, you should be able to build this without a problem.
