Default Fuel Cap recognition shut off with vag com

Does anybody know what the coding is to shut off the fuel cap recognition? Can't find it anywhere.. I started getting the "Close Fuel Cap" message the other day and its getting annoying. Audi has a TSB for this and says the fix is turning off fuel cap recognition. Found this on ross tech website.

Coding
+0000001 = Alarm Setting: Great Britain/Ireland (10 Tamper Alarms - PR-B09)
+0000002 = Lock Cylinder unlocks electrically (OFF = Unlocked Door only / ON = All doors)
+0000004 = Selective Locking (PR-4K2/4K6/4K7)
+0000008 = Anti-Theft Warning System installed (PR-7AH/7AL)
+0000016 = Inclination Sensor installed (PR-7AL/7AN)
+0000032 = Rear Lid Control Module installed (J605 - PR-4E7/4E9)
+0000064 = Comfort Function via Remote active (PR-A8S+B0A/B0L/B1C/B1P)
+0000128 = Right-Hand-Drive (PR-L0R)
+0000512 = Rear Shades (PR-3Y2/3Y5/3Y8)
+0001024 = Anti-Theft Warning System Confirmation via Horn (PR-A8U)
+0002048 = SAE Rear Lights (PR-A8U)
+0004096 = Footwell Lights (PR-QQ1/QQ3)
+0008198 = No SAFE-Motors (PR-A8U)
+0016384 = Fuel Cap Recognition active (PR-A8S)
+0032768 = Interior Monitoring inactive/not installed (PR-7AL/7AH)

If it says close fuel cap, it is related to something else. You have a bad fuel cap, or a tank leak somewhere.

Already changed the fuel cap. Audi says it is a common issue and they have a TSB for it. They will shut it off for a fee but I figured I can do it myself.

I attached some screen shots of the TSB from my Bentley manual
