Actually, we
can turn TPMS off. This was very well received in Europe.
There are a large number of features that can be altered or modified in the CCF - car configuration files. This includes little items such as the key-in-ignition warning chime when the driver's door is opened, the low temperature (ice) warning chime, etc. and goes to more well known items such as lazy locking, single point of entry, daytime running lights, to items such as TPMS, park heat functions (diesel), nav on the move (entering destinations while driving), etc.
The CCF functions are items that have been programmed into the various ECUs by LR. We are only giving access to these 'soft switches' via the IIDTool, and we can allow items to be changed that were not programmed into the OEM IDS/SDD systems so that we can offer more of these options than the dealers can.
In contrast to the CCF settings, making changes to items such as the off road height speed limit is not simply flipping a 'soft switch' - it is actually reprogramming and writing the new values into the code in the EAS ECU (as LR did not leave this as an option in the EAS ECU). Reprogramming ECUs is not always possible either, though. The amount of effort required to reverse engineer the sw is often simply too great.
But as we are a small co. and enthusiasts ourselves, if there is something that people would like to be able to do we will definitely listen. And if it can be done and causes no other issues (including non-technical issues such as liability concerns), we will do our best to make it happen.
