Default Converted to coil springs

Recently switched to conventional suspension, using Strutmasters kits. Does anyone know exactly how to deactivate air suspension through VCDS so I can get rid of the yellow light on my dash. Thanks.

Use LCH to subtract 00064 from channel 001 of module 0x07
Remove 0x34 from GW install list, and unplug/loop out module 0x34.

Edit: Not sure how/if this will affect Distance Regulation (ACC) and RVC if you have them...

Interesting. So you can replace the whole suspension and disable the warning lights?

I see that the Strutmaster kit uses Eibach springs. How soft is the ride? Is it possible to have it somewhere between comfort mode and dynamic using this kit?

Yeah its eibach springs at all four corners with bilstein shocks up front and kyb in the back, I don't know why they went with two different manufacturer, maybe to keep cost done? The ride is pretty much equivalent to dynamic and I don't know if there is a way to make it softer.

I'm going to convert.

but when a Strutmasters website there is a note saying--currently no solution for errors and error lights due to conversion.

you detailed approach seems to go against that.
