TPMS Sensors?
Getting rid of the aftermarket 18" wheels my Q5 had on it, and putting on the 20" OEM wheels back on (dark titanium, woooot!).
Quick question on the TPMS sensors. I plan on having the tires shipped from tire rack to a local shop. Am I right in thinking there will be no issue pulling the sensors from the existing aftermarket wheels and putting them on the new OEM wheels?
Or... does the Q5 even HAVE TPMS sensors? I've seen some that say they don't, and some that say they do.
Would hate to get there and have them say, 'Nope! These won't fit!'. And then be screwed.

Not sure what year you are asking about.
Do you have rubber valve stems or steel? Rubber is a good indication that you do not have sensors.
My 2012 does not. It reads the tire pressure from some mathematical process involving the circumference of the tire.
Basically, you set the computer in the MMI when the tires are at the proper inflation. Then, if the car senses the roll out of the wheel changing, it will notify you in the MMI.
