TPMS removal coding help

Jaronbwall · 09-20-2021, 11:54 AM

Hello BMW geeks!
Trying to find someone experienced with BMW coding in Indianapolis. Looking to code out the TPMS to stop the dash light. I have no skills with coding. Got a $100 bill with your name on it if someone local can help.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I believe you’ll be able to do this with BimmerGeeks ProTool app. It’s android only but works with an MHD orange WiFi dongle or a wired OBD scanner plugged into your phone.

If you have an android phone and a dongle of some sort, shoot them a message and find out which license you need (diagnostic or coding) to code out TPMS. Common sense says you need the coding module but double check… if you have everything else you need, it’ll cost around $90 and you’ll be able to do so much more with that investment than just code out TPMS.

You might not be able to code out TPMS due to safety nazi's here in the US. Early cars can have the TPMS switched over to the previous system.

Okay guys very good information. Still trying to find a workable computer. I'm a Mac user.

You can always set the Mac up to run windows. There's plenty of YouTube videos that are very informative on the process

This was my problem initially. That’s why I got ProTool to fix my coding issue with the FRM. A friend had an old android phone laying around she let me take. I hear you can buy one new from Walmart for $50. Then you just need the MHD dongle and a ProTool license.

Again I’m not 100% sure which license you’ll need, so reach out to BimmerGeeks (they got back to me same-day). If it’s possible in their app, it’s going to take less than a minute to get it done once you have the license and you’re connected to the car.

You would need the coding license ,but might as well get both licenses for the future problem solving of your bmw. Both are $149 if my memory serves me correct. Go to bimmergeeks and make sure your model of bmw is supported. E90's are supported i know because that is what I have. A little research and your on your way, its simple.
