>From what I understand that would probably work and would still be useful. I like the TPM. I have slow leaks in both fronts since new tyres fitted. Either not sealed properly around bead or the TPM sensors are leaking....Would be great to be able to dial in a trigger pressure though! 

Cheers

But could you not wire the resistor in a switched circuit, switch in position one, normal RDK operation, position 2, resistor on circuit effectively disabling RDK for thos cold days at reduced pressures?
