So it turns out the Touareg TPMS module's security login code '10896' also works on the Phaeton. Before login, the only adaptation block you had was '17' for antenna testing. After login you have many more.
Most of it is easy to figure out. It looks like you have all the European capabilities and perhaps more. The most useful thing is probably direct setting of target tire pressures for each wheel, overriding the learned values with whatever you want. Changes show up immediately on the Infotainment 'Vehicle' screen. TPMS can be enabled or disabled the "legitimate" way, with a dash warning light but no obnoxious beep. Spare monitoring can be enabled and disabled the "legitimate" way, with TPMS being aware of the sensor for learning purposes but muting visible warnings. You can also start a learn cycle, but that's easy enough from Infotainment.
I'm curious if this works for older controllers as well. I have the newer rev-D controller. Anyone with a 2004 want to give it a shot?
