    Or just get a VAG-Com to turn off TPMS! They are useless unless they actually give you the pressure in the MFD like Porsche.

    What's MFD? And are you saying the Audi B7 TPMS doesn't do this and so I should bother installing the sensors on new wheels?

    If I'm not mistaken Audi's TPMS lights up at a preset lower air pressure, Porsche's system shows actual pressure on the Nav display, I think...

    B7s display icon only in the driver information display (or MFD: multi-function display). No specifics at all.


    new Audi's with MMI navs display like this...pretty awesome!!
