Quest to disable TPMS (and activate FTM) COMPLETED

I might order one too. Digging out the coding laptop and getting everything back working is always a 'project', and being able to just grab my phone and push a couple buttons would be a lot simpler. My current E91 has the TPMS error light on right now

The bimmercode app is pretty user friendly, but for the life of me I wasn't able to locate AUSSTATTUNG_RPA to change to aktiv. I found all the other codes, also RDC_SAFETY was already nicht_activ so I kept it that way. The tire pressure light is no longer on, but it doesn't reset and states FTM System Error.

I was able to locate a different code called RPA_SWITCH and changed it to aktiv, but still have FTM System Error.

I wonder if there is a different app that would give me access to AUSSTATTUNG_RPA?

The quest continues for me

I'm getting close Botlfed98, but not quite there yet. I miss my e36 '99 m3. Simpler times back then. I used to have it when I lived in Chicago.

One day there was a bad crash on 53 and they closed a section of it, but you could still get on it farther up north. Zero cars for miles going north. The on ramps were the best, leave it in 2nd gear, bouncing off the rev limiter, ~60mph and that car was on rails, extremely forgiving...

Then get on the straight, 3 lanes and 2 shoulders all to yourself and blast through the gears. ~140mph those 3 lanes and 2 shoulders felt more like 1 lane.

Those were the days. When I look back, even with zero cars around it was probably still a stupid idea, but the thrill. What a thrill it was!
