Direct TPMS Retrofit

If it is visible in you IC and accessible with VCDS then it is compatible 100%.
I am not sure about your sensors, but I agree with @Deaky, receiver location is very important. Can you try to relocate it to the centre spot where 2 hand brake cables are attached to retracting spring. Then take it for a 1 mile drive and report.

Could you share the VCDS infos of your Cluster, since yours shows the Car Outline correct it is interested which SW Version you have.
Mine is this one, same part number but different letter at the end. 3AA.907.273F. These are my sensors 3AA.907.275.F
This is what I have managed to gather so far.
It might be helpful to other people who want to verify Direct TPMS compatibility

And I am the only one who is missing vehicle outline in the IC display

Thanks chaps for your fantastic write ups on these mods.
. Again.
Bits being collected for this one too.
Loom and Rx from the 'Bay. Annoyingly the +12V and GND are the wrong way round. I can't seem to get the pins out. I'll just join on another length of wire.
Even more annoyingly, the 4 off genuine sensors, also from the 'Bay are stuck somewhere on the way from Slovakia, with no movement on the tracking, and I'm booked into my local tyre place for new rubber from Black Circles on Thursday.

A small bonus on a child's pocket money got me the loom neatly wrapped.
Rx module installed, although will probably move it under the NS plastic cover as mentioned earlier in the thread.
Still awaiting the pesky sensors that it seems are still to leave the Slovak Republic;

All installed and coded, but no pressures being received. Dash display there, but showing dashed lines from each corner.
The sensors are working as tested with this MaxiTPMS tool;
I've moved the receiver to several different orientations, but nothing.
VCDS indicates that it's never seen anything;
All sensors show same ID & 25.5 bar !
Edited to add; Sensor ID above 4294967295 is 2^32 (when starting at 0), so that's a made up/system default I guess.
I'm out of ideas now chaps.
@Deaky Did your's just spring into life after you posted a similar problem a couple of pages ago ?

I had the same with mine @catfood12 . The cure was the receiver position under the van as @Robert and @Deaky suggested to me . As a temporary first try i cable tied it to the handbrake cable, soon as i drove off PING ! there they were. May be worth trying the receiver in that position if you have not already ?
Hmmm... The one I bought, probably from the same Ebay seller, was identical, even down to the serial number, and also came in a plain whit jiffy bag.......
Sensors are the 5QO907275B from here;
They looked genuine by the finish and quality of the ally stems.., and defo had the B suffix.
I am afraid 5Q0 sensors are not compatible with your receiver.
Do you have the photo of the actual sensors that you got?
Oh no!!!!! Bu99er.
I didn't photograph them before getting them in......
Needless to say, dicking about with the position of the receiver didn't help....
I've just gone back through the thread. Obvs now I should have bought the 3AA907275B ...
Thats the cure then mate. just a pain to take the tires off again, but a cheap fix really

Thanks chap. Yep, bit of a pain, but this modding lark is never easy. Good job you and @Robert were at hand with the tech support this evening !
Thanks to both of you for your help.
Anyone wanna buy some sensors....?
i know why doesnt work 4u ,
You have to added all sensors ID manual and match with each wheel .
so read ID of all your sensors .
go to 65 / adaptation / add ID of your sensor and add which wheel is it . done .
ignition off 10sek and back on
again go to 65 / adaptation / add ID of your next sensor and add which wheel is ..
do that 4 times
so after that your module will c all sensors check picture .
Now do calibration in 65 module / basic settings
i dont have a special tool so i use strong magnet
pickup of list calibration tyle 01 and go to 01 wheel with magnet
30sek , pressure icon will flashing on speedometer click stop
type 02 and go to wheel 02 and do the same .
03 and 04 and go for drive .
i had the same problem
take me few days to fine solution , and now one can help
all people said , that easy , just work strait . (NO DOESN'T ! )
if you have MODULE used or new with new sensors we have to added to each wheel in adaptation .
Do that and will work 4 you.
All the best.
