I swapped the stock pads for racing pads and have the brake pad sensor lit up on my dash. I bought vag-com to disable it. I was able to find the page for the Golf 5 platform (I assume that is my car's platform since I was able to use the micro-cam interface). According to the instructions on that page I should have been able to turn off the brakepad wear sensor by subtracting 1 from the soft coding changing it from 0049268 to 0048268 but it was a no go. Any suggestions?

The wear sensor is just a wire in your brake pad that is broken (open circuits) when wear limit is reached.

It seems likely that no configurations of your car were sold without wear sensors. You may want to install a jumper at the brake pad wear sensor connection since, per the label file, I don't see any Coding options that would allow you to remove the brake pad wear sensor monitoring:
