Tire pressure monitor
Is there a way to see the actual tire pressure on each wheel? when i go into Tire pressure, only option i have is to store it. all my previous car will show each wheel with their current pressure... i have not being able to find this yet.
is it possible? |

how you do it

That's exactly what I was looking for. Tell us

The TPM on my A8 looks like that. Q7 does not show any details on the MMI - only option is to store the pressures when going into the TPM section.

I questioned this when my 2011 Q7 was delivered. There are two types. I would be interested to know if the TPMS can be retrofitted?
This is the answer I found: (Copied from another site) TPM Tyre pressure monitoring with wheel speed sensor If the tyre pressure monitoring system uses a wheel speed sensor, wheel electronics are not fitted in the rim. If the air pressure in a tyre drops, the speed of the wheel changes. The speed sensor registers the altered wheel speed. A display in the dash panel insert informs the driver about the tyre pressure change. TPMS The tyre pressure check system used by Audi is a 4-wheel system. Although the spare wheel is monitored and "managed“ by the control unit, it is excluded from the system status messages (for further details, refer to "spare wheel“). Data transfer from the wheel sensors to the control unit is effected by means of radiofrequency (RF) transmission. Information exchange between the peripheral components in the vehicle takes place via the convenience CAN-Bus. A measuring and transmitter unit mounted on the tyre valve sends a radio signal at regular time intervals to the antennas for tyre pressure monitoring integrated in the wheel housing. This signal is then relayed to the control unit for tyre pressure monitoring. The control unit for tyre pressure monitoring evaluates the tyre pressures and/or the pressure change and sends corresponding system status messages to the instrument cluster. These messages are indicated to the driver on the display of the Driver Information |
TPM - if it only relies on the wheel speed, why can the tyre pressures be saved in the TPM section of the MMI? On my Range Rover, one had a High Load and a Normal Load (or something like that) setting and if the pressure dropped below a certain threshold (pre-determined by the manufacturer), the system gave a “low pressure” warning – i.e. it worked more or less the same as the system on the Q7, although the factory decided what is the appropriate pressure, not the user as is the case with our vehicles. The Range Rover’s system definitely has pressure sensors in the rims.
