The dealer can do it. Also, a programmer like the Diablosport Predator will let you do it as well.

just to let you know a dealership should do it for free if you ask it takes all of about a minute to do they plug in a programmer and and 4 button clicks later its finished but they only like the preset tire sizes otherwise the have to enter what 8 numbers its pretty ridiculous i cant believe they charge that much it was free for me

For the cost of a programmer, just live with it. A GPS will serve multiple purposes, though.
