I don't think you can tell from the MMI if its been deleted or not. In the U.S. a TPMS system is mandatory by law. The question is if Audi changed the 2010 U.S. spec S5 to an indirect measurement system. An indirect system uses wheel rotation to determine if a tire is low on air. A direct system (which is what was in the 2008 - 2009 S5) is a direct measurement system of air pressure in the tire. Therefore either system may show up in the MMI screen. The best way to tell if Audi deleted the direct measurement system on the 2010 S5 is to look at the wheel for the sensor.

Good point, now that you mention it, I didn't see any mention about sensors, etc. in the manual. It just prompted me to set the TPMS system, which is leading me to believe it the indirect measurement method. I don't have my manual handy, but I'll look when I get home and see if it's more clear in there.

Man that thing is looking sweet!!!!

I'm getting springs and spacers done finally here in the next couple weeks. Also tracked down some 19" RS4s that will be going on . . . I'll make sure to post when it's done.
