Hey guys i have a simple question about our TPMS sensors.
For those of you who have aftermarket wheels, did you reuse the OEM TPMS sensors and put them on the new wheels? Or did you spend a few hundred on new sensors? I don't think this has been addressed before..
Or can you turn that shit off?
..that too. because TPMS is one of the stupidest mandatory shit ever made for cars. it's for dumbasses who can't tell they have a flat tire or lazy people who don't want to check their own tire pressures and rely on electronics to do the jobQuote:

im pretty sure you can vag them off, but I use them in my summer wheels (19's) and dont in my stock ti winter wheels. kinda annoying but im used to it now. so yes you can they work fine:)
From what I understand the sensors can be moved.
cool thanks guys :)
They can be moved as long as the barrels of the new wheels can accommodate them.
and IMO it's good to have them. 1st week having my car, the sensor went on at a freeway offramp. I didn't feel anything but stopped at the side of the road anyway. All the tires looked fine visually. I waited about 30 seconds - 1 min, the LR tire flattened.. I ran over something apparently and gashed it on the tread, slow leak.. but it saved my rims from being bent if I kept driving :/
Select -> 17-Instruments -> Adaptation -> Channel 61.
Subtract 512 from whatever value you find there.
thats to vag it off hope it works[wrench]
i just took em out and turn it off with vag com....cant run them with the crazy stretch
Thanks [up]Quote:
