Is there a way to get real TPMS on an A6 (instead of the idiot light)?

I updated my MMI, and got a teaser screen on the TPMS, with a pictogram of the car and spaces for data on each tire. The data areas were blank, and as soon as I initialized the tire pressures, that screen went away.I've come across other threads where people report the same thing happening to them.

Seems I came across a thread on getting this function on the MMI display, but I'm not sure if it was an A6 or an A8. Searched the forums, but can't locate the thread.

Is this a VAGable mod on the A6? If not, why does that screen pop up?

AutoScan instructions:

Please run an AutoScan on your entire vehicle and paste the results.

[AutoScan]
Pick the "4F,Audi A6 C6" from the dropdown menu
[Start]
When it is done, click on [Save]

That saves a text file here on your PC:

C:\ross-tech\VCDS\Logs\

This will allow us to see details regarding which modules are installed in your car, how they're currently coded, and what (if any) fault codes are present.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/autoscan.html">http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds/tour/autoscan.html</a</li></ul>
