tpms disable thread broken

Like many others, i am looking for a way to disable my tpms light while my winter wheels are on. when i searched, everyone links to this thread http://here but the thread is invalid according to the page that comes up.

That is good thing, the only valid way to make that light go away is my thread. I am not trying to be funny, no other member has disabled the TPMS and even the starter of that thread said it might not work for most.

to be honest, i really hate that idea lol. Nothing against you personally, but i would much rather find a more complete solution than just covering it up. Again this is not a personal attack, just my opinion for what i want on my car.

joe: there is currently no way to actually disable the TPMS. Sorry man, but Expo's method is pretty much the only universal way.

Joe: this subject was discusses over and over the first few years the RX-8 was out and not one single person was able to duplicate MM disabling TPMS. His "DIY" involved going behind the dash and cutting a wire. Not something one should do hoping it might work. People have gone so far as to place 4 TPMS sensors in a section of sealed PVC @ 32 PSI. Nobody here is telling you not to give it a try, but the subject of disabling TPMS has been looked into in depth.
