I have disabled the virtual partner on my 520, so you should be able to do the same as well.
As tones, you can do some tweaking, and I read somewhere that the sound is a file that you can replace by connecting the unit via USB to PC…
Garmin entire filesystem tree is accessible from PC via USB (mtp)…
The 840 uses different firmware to the 520 and you can’t disable the VP at all. You can however access the file system as you described, so my workaround was to edit the XML files for the map themes and make the arrow for the virtual partner 100% transparent. The VP is still running of course, but that does fix most of my gripes with it.
I’ll have to check if I can do something similar for the sounds, but I’m not sure it will be possible since it’s just a beeper and I don’t imagine there are ordinary sound files that can be edited.
