I just got new rims/tires for my 2009 Audi A4 Quattro. Has anyone here been able to turn off the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) through vag-com software? I was unable to find the code.

It's an A4 from the US, and for some reason the daytime running lights are the high beams -- has anyone else had this issue?

thanks!

Pretty sure its done with MMI ...

If it is, I can't find it. The only option in the MMI is to "store current pressure." but this does nothing. Warning comes on all the time still.

Any other ideas?

Call the dealership and ask ?

LOL, sorry but I think that is why he is here, as the dealer usually says that this is a safety issue. Anyways you can disable the TPMS through VAG-COM. Also the DRL's Can be anbled through the MMI without doing it through VAG-COM

I have access to vag-com -- just can't find out how to disable through there. Did find a TPMS installed or not, but that did not seem to make a difference. If anyone has done it through vag-com I'd be curious as to how.

I know you can disable the DRL through the MMI just when I went to change through vag-com for what is turned on for DRL -- it was not sticking. Strange..

It wouldnt surprise me if a dealership suggested its dangerous to turn of TPMS although thats a pile of bull ! I turned mine off to avoid this specific problem with my winter setup and plan to continue to do what I've done for years with previous Audis without this stupid featuure: check the air in my tires every few weeks ...

Anyway, not sure if it works for a B8 but the VAG info for a B7 is:

Go to Instruments (17), Adaptation, Channel 61, and recode from the default of 3843 to 3331.

Good luck !

Its a different setup on the '09's cant recode with the code anymore you have to go through the coding helper, as it is a bit more of an advanced system now, compared to the older versions prior to 2009.

So, nobody here has successfully turned off the TPMS in an '09 ? Damn.
