oh yeah. it's the old fashion TPMS system. get a little gauge.

My sea cucumber is like a bazillion years old and even THAT came with a digital read-out on the onboard system.

Evidently, it doesn't have a pressure sensor. The car monitors rolling resistance and wheel rotation per distance or some shit.

It's wicked smaht.

Yeah, instead, you store the tire pressure once the wheels are mounted and the car will just tell you if they are getting to Majofo-CTS-V levels.


Still, I would like to see what the psi is at all times.

So if Yumcha had a flat or near flat while parked, he would not receive any warning light until he start driving for a while?

Well he is he probably would not notice any way

Makes pressure stabilization a cinch.. don't need to depend on shitty analog gauge on compressor.

I got those avant garde and was like when I tried to take the TPMS out of the stock tires.
You literally inflate the new tires to correct PSI and set it in the MMI. It uses the abs sensors to determine that
one wheel has an aberration from the others and alerts you...even at low speeds. I was like, love you smart
ass mother fuckers. Since you know, Audi and TPMS would be like $1000 each if they needed it.

On the Caddy there's a wand a tech has to use to reset the TPMS...he goes through a process and sequence at each corner to clear it.
I found that there was a delay on the displayed PSI so I'd use the analog gauge and then confirm it once rolling.

Never forget that the RS5 has pressure monitoring.

Audi isn't gonna trouble us with trivial shit like that.
They respect the owner of the car too much.

Car decided on the way home today for a split second that the car fob/key was not on me.

That was weird.

Yeah. I'm a Cucklet now...I am not adverse to Cucklet tactics like banning people for lesser slights.

mine seemed like I needed to get very close to the car to make it work. especially driver door handle when
key in pocket. Just needed a new battery although I'm sure that's not the case for you. Was fob in the dash
or in your purse?

someone already did the windows up AND down with the fob through vagcom on mine.
Looking forward to getting the OBDEleven to mess with some things like no more wink when signalling
and maybe brightest setting for the DRL

One of the big B9 complaints is the key fob. Apparently, the trunk button gets accidentally triggered for a bunch of people. Whoops
