Thanks
You'll need the real one. Not only for this situation but for all going forward.

Also if your MMI isn't working i think that resetting the TPMS light is the least of your concerns. Get that MMI fixed first then tackle the TPMS issue. I made this post to temporarily disable the sensors and/or use it for disabling the system to use with a winter set of wheels for those who didn't want to buy two sets of sensors for summer/winter wheels.

That's exactly what I'll be using it for in about 2 months.

If you do get a knock-off vag-com it may actually work once or twice before it dies. Don't expect it to work more than once though, and they usually are several versions of software behind. Buy a real unit and it will pay for itself after the first or second time you use it.

Yep... that's one of the indicators of a stolen version.
12.12.3 and 14.8.1 are the current versions along with firmware 1.93.

Yep.
And if you don't use it much you can re-sell it for nearly what you paid
