Buy a set of sensors and turn it on. It's nice feature. It was just ridiculously expensive to replace sensors.

Best to check with VCDS as I have a bad sensor in the wheel well, not in a tire (tyre for some).

I needed new tires and new sensors. Audi wanted $900+tax for sensors and installation. $150/sensor plus $150 install. After reading the posts here I called Orange for the 433Mhz Sensors. They were out of stock due to a recent large order. They took my requested order and info and said they would call when more arrived in a few months. 2 weeks later they called saying someone had returned some and offered me 5 sensors. I purchased them ($30 each) and they arrived a few days later. Unfortunately had just had new tires put on since they were in definite need of replacement and I wasn't expecting the sensors for 3-4 months. I got the tires through audi based on shopping around here in the Charleston area. Other tires stores seemed to offer tires cheaper but there was a lot of bait-n-switch advertising. Audi said that even if I did have non-OEM sensors they would not install them based on a recent lawsuit. So I took the sensors to a local tire store who installed the Orange sensors for $28 each ($140). I selected Change Tires in the MMI to reinitialize the sensors and 10 minutes later the new sensor info popped up on the screen. Moral of the story: shop around for a better deal.

Audi $900+tax = almost $1000

Orange: $160 (sensors plus shipping)
Tire shop $140
Total cost of replacement: $300
Saved over $600

Money saved = new iPad3 in my travel bag.
