Hi Guys , My 1st post and a relative beginner to VCDS. I had a bit of use with older versions of VCDS used on MK4 Golfs but that was a long while back.

I know this will have been asked a hundred times before over various cars but is it possible to change from Direct TPMS to Indirect TPMS

I have the HEX-V2 and my car is a May 2018 UK Audi RS3 which had the performance pack upgrade which gave it the Direct TPMS system over the standard Indirect system.

I have fitted my winter alloys which do not have the TPMS sensor valves installed, after which several tyre fitters said, not to bother installing the TPMS valves as they caused more trouble than they was worth and either just put up with the warning or turn the system off until you put the original alloys back on the vehicle.
I would rather if possible convert to the standard Indirect system and then switch back to Direct once my original alloys go back on, is this possible please.

Thanks
Simon

On older cars unregistering module 65, which is the direct TPMS module, in the CAN gateway helps. Since I have TPMS sensors only on my summer wheels, I went this way. MQB may or may not require doing more...

check the TPMS retrofit guide from the famous spanish guy, then undo that coding.

a set of OEM sensors is around 60 EUR shipped so IMO you could fit them to winter wheels. or buy 4-seasons tyres and forget about swapping wheels :)

why not? speed limits are similar around the world and nobody needs race-capable tires.

MQB RS3 mk2 would need more than just un-registering the 65 module, and the other "guide" to active TPMS does not use the same module or coding as the Audi MQB platform. I would not recommend messing with the coding to be honest.

I supply loads of these sensors as a set of 4 or as a retrofit kit (sensors / control module / wiring) for Audi MQB vehicles, never had anyone report a problem and surprised at your fitters comments. Sounds a bit lazy on their part to me.

I would rather have the sensors fitted and that was my plan, but my main search ended up finding a set of suitable winter wheels that gave sufficient clearance over the front calipers and keeping within the front arches and that's when I came across tyre fitters telling me not to bother with the sensors.
So with mine been the upgrade thought try see if there was the option of switching to Indirect for the few month. If its not possible I will look at getting suitable reliable sensors.

As Uwe mentioned about tyres , I certainly not feel comfortable with "all season Tyres" Good quality summer and winters have only been my only option.
