Default Disabling TPMS

Could someone please give me the VAG-COM instructions to disable TPMS? One of the Audi dealers i called said they can do it for me if it's possible, but didnt seem too sure how it's done.
If there's anyone local in NJ with a Vag that can help me, that would be great too.
Thanks-

Why would you want to turn off the TPMS?

I called Audi of Mendham and the service guy who answered the phone said as long as the technician knows how to do it, i can bring it in. They will charge half hour to 1 hour of labor.

Got new 19" summer wheels/tires and didn't want to bother removing sensors from OEM wheels/tires.

I just purchased 4 new sensors from Achtuning for less than $150. I wanted both the summer and winter rims to have the sensors. Just a thought.

Default TPMS Disable

From what I understand, you first have to disconnect the TPMS module (behind the glove box)and then reprogram with VagCom.
