Are there any brake-pad suppliers/manufacturers that put the metal fingers on their version of X5 pads, or do all leave them off? I don't want to use the sensors, if I can rely on the "squeakers", and visual inspection, of course, to monitor the state of the pads.
And, can I turn-off the "brake-pad wear" warning by using a Foxwell NT 510 Elite scan-tool (the pads are new, the sensor(s) weren't replaced by previous owner)?
