I haven't seen any documentation that claims direct. All the stuff I've seen says indirect. Please direct me to the materials to verify. Since my tires will soon be replaced, it'd be good to know for sure.

I suggest you check your owner's manual.

Here's posting on Audizine that says for '09 the only Audi that had indirect sensing was the A6 - all other models used direct sensing.

One other bit of information - apparently Audi is introducing an indirect measuring system, but it won't be fully deployed across all models until MY 2011:

That information doesn't appear to be in the manual, but I love how that's often the response to questions.
