Default Disabling TPMS question...

....

I 'attempted' to disable the TPMS display in the cluster with the VAGCOM.

I disabled it in the CANBUS section.

In the Instrument section, according to Ross-Tech, it is a +0016 to enable it. So I subtracted the 16 figuring that would disable it, but it did not take.

(The factory setting first four digits were 0264)

Is there something I am mis-interpreting here?

Coding
????xxx: Options
+0001 = Quattro (Standard)
+0002 = w/o Driver Information System (DIS)
+0004 = Vehicle with Clutch (NO Automatic)
+0008 = Second Tire Size Pair
+0016 = Tire Pressure Monitoring
+0032 = Adaptive Air Suspension
+0064 = Advanced Frontlighting System (AFS)
+0128 = Adaptive Cruse Control (ACC)
+0512 = Vehicle w/o Electronic Parking Brake (Standard)
+2048 = Switch Option for Bord Computer Levels

Default My TPMS posts the last 14 months: Good luck w/ your insurance company when you

have ANY kind of claim - their lawyers will love you for giving them a no payout slam dunk. WHO do think pushed the bill for the Fed law on TPMS and its disabling criteria?!

Yes, your opinions on this matter are well documented.

Good point, it is against Federal law to disable TPMS, yes?

Default Don't need a lecture...I'm well versed on this issue...it's a temporary situation...

...until the new TPMS sensors that were ordered for the aftermarket wheels come in.
