Default Tire pressure monitoring system...

I'm really surprised to find that the 2018 S5 coupe doesn't have an informational display of the actual tire pressure, unless I missed something...

Default USA:

No in-wheel sensors in these newer cars to provide that info.

Yeah I was also surprised. The system will give an alert if a tire feels like it has more rolling resistance but you have to input the tire pressures as being correct to clear it.

The bright side is swapping tires is easier.

The new B9 RS5 does, although it is an option in European markets.

Default B9 S5

Has anyone added the direct system (from the RS5) to the S5 and got it working? If the sensors were fitted, can the screen be coded/activated in the S5.

Check this Kufatec kit out:

Note that the kit come with a 'cable set' and a 'control unit' which leads me to believe that a receiver for the wheel sensors is needed and then wired into the car so the MMI can read it.

I have the new B9 RS5 and cannot locate any display to show the exact measurements in the vehicle on a per corner basis....

Glisse’s Post was dated 2 YEARS ago. This thread was resurrected by a newbie.

Do you have a 2018 or 19? In 2018 the direct TPMS was part of one of the option packages, but its standard in 2019. If you have it, you need to hit the [ on the steering wheel while on the first tab in the VC (the one that has the trip computer), it will give you an option for trip computer, sport displays, lap timer etc. Select the Sport display, it will show the G meter and scroll down to get to the tire pressure and temperature display.
