Coding TPMS

f87chas · 07-06-2017, 01:43 PM

Does any one know if it is possible to code out the TPMS--sure would make things simple for track us! Any one available in Ohio--especially NE Ohio or maybe Western PA who can do this?

cookiesowns · 07-11-2017, 10:21 AM

Yup totally. Got a enet cable?

Yes, it is possible! I believe Flat Tire Monitor that stays on, but the TPMS stays turned off.

Does iDrive still show current tire PSI, and can we turn the coding on/off on the fly with something like Bimmercode?

Bimmer code currently doesn't support the DSC module unfortunately, which is where most of the RDCi ( TPMS ) coding values are located.

However, I highly recommend getting an enet cable and ISTA+ as well as esys setup if you have a PC or a mac with bootcamp/windows VM if you're relatively tech savvy.

It's super easy to setup and has ALOT of great information especially if you want to wrench on your own car.

Any one in Ohio or Pa. who has the skill to do this, I do not have the knowledge to attempt this with confidence of a good outcome.

Relatively cheap and lots of great feedback on the forum. Sounds super user-friendly for those of us worried about turning our car into a large brick...

I've used them before and they're great. He said he could turn TPMS off, but I'm looking for an on demand solution.

If you code it out, will the car stay in Sport mode with DSC off, or will it revert to Comfort....which is what happens with no TPMS.

No one knows for sure. One of us will have to be the beta test.

So, did this today with Okee at codemycar.com. Coding TPMS off removed it completely and seems to allow running DSC off without going into comfort mode.

It also removes the temp and pressure readings, tho.

Just had my TPMS removed , by code, and went back to Road Atlanta...car "feels"quicker in DSC off mode...I was on new tires and a very cold day, but it felt like the lap times were a bit faster.

I realize this may seem a dumb question, but why do you want to code out TPMS? I’ve run on the track with TPMS engaged and find it useful to monitor pressure and temps. (Is this because you don’t have TPMS in your wheels ... I do have TPMS sensors in my track wheels).

so with TPMS coded out, you can still choose between driving modes?

Twt · 12-05-2017, 10:38 PM

I had Euro M mode coded and TPMS removed....no issues and works great on track.

Yep

You shouldn't need to code out TPMS, just don't put any sensors in your track wheels. Guys with snow tires have done this and all modes still work, or so they say...

There’s a few threads going back a while ago stating if the car doesn’t see the sensors, it will only let you select Comfort mode.

To clarify: you can select any drive mode without sensors, but after the car doesn’t find them, it will switch to Comfort throttle and steering response even with DSC off.
