Default flashcal/procal for tpms disable on 2015??

I've read thru a bunch of threads on this and there seems to be mixed reports. I want to disable (not just lower) tpms on my 2015. I know both programmers are supposed to do it but some have had problems with it not working properly or needing a download that then was quircky, etc... Can someone with a 15 that has done this tell me which one they used? I'd prefer the flashcal cuz it seems easier with the menu but will settle for whichever one DEFINITELY works. Thanks.

I have a 15 JKUR AND wanted to lower the tpms, not turn it off. I bought the flashcal and that feature to lower was disabled. (I even called SuperChips and they confirmed) You could turn the tpms off after you downloaded their update. It wasn't that hard, but you had to capture your vin with the device first.

I did return the flashcal and went with the procal for the feature of lowering the TPMS. Both devices worked great and I did like the LCD display on the FlashCal, but the feature I wanted was not available on the FlashCaL.

They both worked great. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your response. So on the flascal you cannot lower tpms you can only disable it? Not that it matters to me as I have no sensors, but I wasn't aware of that. Is that the feature that was lacking for you on the Flashcal or was there something else as well?

The feature was there but superchips took it away when people were having issues with it. They may have added it back but I don't know. That was one of the main features I wanted and the procal still did it. Other than that I liked the flashcal.
