Tire Pressure Monitor Disable Code for HEX-USB+CAN?

mcraigp · 09-11-2007, 01:32 PM

After searching this fourm, I haven't found an answer to this question. Most likely my "search" skills need work, so I'll just ask outright: Using a Ross Tech HEX-USB+CAN (RS4) cable can I disable the tire pressure monitoring system in my 07 RS4? If so what is the code?
I'd like to be able to "ping pong" between 18" & 19" rims on this car for track days and/or all weather tires. Buying the cable seems to be cheaper and more useful than owning 8 sets of "in wheel" tire pressure monitors.
Besides, I like using a tire gauge.

My track wheels have no TPMS, so after a lap or two the ugly symbols show up and are a distraction that I do not need at speed. The first time it happened, I had new tires and a new suspension that had to be dialed in, and I could tell I was rubbing. So, when the big flat tire symbol showed up, it freaked me out, as I thought it had something to do with the rubbing, and I pitted. I figured out the idiot lights, adjusted the ride height, and was on my way. However, to be able to avoid the symbols by using the VAG-COM is very helpful.

Subtract 512 to remove TPMS = 3331
