Direct TPMS Retrofit

[sparkzer]

TPMS wireless

And what do you think of these?
They are inexpensive and can be installed in 5 minutes.
It would seem like a good idea.

thats some mark up that seller is putting on them...i expect they will be made in the same factory in china as all the others available on ebay for a quarter of the price!

It looks like @Deaky is going to be the OEM pioneer ----> Deaky’s Kombi to Camper journey

Okay, my sensors are on their way

For the sake of €43.13=£36.50 I simply couldn't resist

Link to TPMS XML file parametrisation ---> RDKSeditor – ŠkodaPilot Blog
and so far it appears that all revisions of T6 IC (MFD Plus and MFD Premium) are compatible with direct TPMS

RDKS Master Generator Tool, an online XML file generator seems to be even more user friendly and it also allows for upload software selection, VCP or ODIS

I found very cheap control unit few months ago (€44=£39 - second hand including plug and loom) but I didn't buy it then
Couldn't wait any more and went ahead with a brand new unit
Another well spent €91 = £80
But I saved few quid on a brand new plug, cause I bought it for €2.54 = £2.23 on AliExpress

I have experienced the same issue when my VIP membership expired.
There must be some form of restricted access for non VIP members, but why?
Maybe @Deaky can help?

Looks like I originally posted my thread in the VIP section. You'll only be able to read it if you're a VIP member.

My another precious has arrived

 

[Robert]

My squadron has landed




I think I am getting ready

 

[Robert]

This is my driver's door sticker for tyre sizes and pressures.



Plus my current VW Amarok wheels 275/40R19

 

[Robert]

And this is my data set ready for upload.

 

[Robert]

Slowly but surely



Please excuse me for dusty rims, once the job was finished I washed the whole vehicle properly

 

[Robert]

And the last piece of puzzles has arrived this morning

 

[Robert]

Am I getting excited or carried away?

 

[Robert]

Warning thresholds.

 

[Robert]

And finally DIRECT TPMS installed and almost finished. Just need to upload my XML file, hopefully tomorrow (wife permitting ).

My initial system test below.
I think I am going to keep my "old" indirect TPMS and I won't deactivate it. I know it is a little bit weird to see two very same menu entries side by side. But once you enter each one you know straight away what it is for. Also as my instrument cluster is 7E0 920 980 L HW05 SW1008 (end of 2015) I am missing a picture of a car where the pressures are displayed. I've got bare numbers only. And final thing, my pressure units are selectable with VCDS via adaptations of IC(17)

Now, the most important aspects of this retrofit.
Location of Direct TPMS receiver/antenna and its wiring
I know it is Amarok but it is also PQ25 platform(at least electronically)
Note that power supply has to be permanent and not after ignition.
