Disable TPMS permanently?

Do any of you guys know if you can make the tmps light stop flashing as well as the picture in the display cluster. I only track the car so i don't run tpms sensors in my slicks. I know for the airbag light all you have to do is unplug the airbag module. Was wondering if it is the same for the tmps lights. my car is a 2010 r56

Edit: I just found out that unplugging the airbag module doesn't remove the light, does anyone know how to remove that also.

A piece of carefully placed electrical tape is your best bet.

Well I'm no expert, but everything I've seen says there's nothing you can do about the light. Maybe you can disable it through NCS expert, but I have no idea if that's one of the settings. If it really bugs you, the quickest and cheapest option is to just cover it up with a piece of tape.

Meh, the cluster warning only comes on for a sec. The flashing lasts only 30 seconds before going solid..

I did see that if you try to reset the system my light stays off for about 30 min..

You probably can do this with NCS Expert. I got this from the BMW forums, for the MINI it will be similar:

Remove tpms fuse first
- Remove 2VB from VO
- Code CAS and FRM with VO (FA_write)
- Default the proper modules for the new VO
