R230 Disable TPC Tire pressure monitor STAR

So if you ever took your car to the dealer or an indy to disable that annoying tire pressure monitor light on the dash and they told you they couldn't show them the steps. Had a customer tell me today that he went to a few indys and dealer and they couldnt disable the TPC on his 06 SL500.

1.Connect xentry to the car ignition on

2. System Diagnosis ( Control Modules > Body > System Diagnosis )

3. Control Unit Adaptations

I would always say fix it but if u ever need to disable u know how. The reason i disabled the tpc on this sl is because the guy bought the car with no sensors in the wheels and he didnt care much for the tpc.

Which version of the Xentry software do I need for a SL500 2003 and what hardware would I need? Also will this help with rodeo and SRS issues?

Did not work for me

I tried this out and although I was able to set it to "NOT FITTED"
I know have the instrument cluster asking me to "Reacitivate sensor"

Any work around to remove this annoying message?
