Default TPMS - show pressures on MMI screen

Does anyone know how to enable this screen? I have the latest version of software on MMI High and all I see under the TPMS menu is "Store pressure" and "Change wheels"

The 06 lacks a TPMS attena that can track and display multiple sensors so the answer is it can't be done. Its like the old time christmas lights if one light goes out then they all go out.

As others have said the C6 lacks the multiple antenna location information of the A8 and possibly some Euro models.

The sensors do carry the temperature and pressure information, it is just not displayed and if it could be you would not know which location since it lacks the in-vehicle hardware. US law only requires the vehicle manufacturer to inform you of low tire pressure (specific threshold) not the location or actual tire pressure. Perhaps this is why Audi abandoned the individual sensors and went with the tire rolling diameter measurement method similar to GM cars of the late '90s.

Can the A8 equipment be retrofitted to an A6?

Did you just need new sensors? If so, do you have the part number?

Oddly, one day I did see the pressure of each wheel displayed on the screen, but no temperature. I have a 2008 CPO S6, but for the life of me, I can't see where the option to display these again. I'm not crazy, anyone know how/where I can see these again?
