Wait, tire pressure display is just a coding option?

I will take a picture of the display when I get back in the car later today and then post it.

I don’t think this TPMS show will work unless you have internal tire sensors, which you can recognize by metal tire Valves.
id love to have a TPMS display without having to rewire a sensor and put internal tire sensors on, rather than my external sensors and cheaply separate display.
id love to hear other comments.
i have a 2021 S5 sport back, not a A6, as mentioned.

You need to have the individual tire sensors and the receiver and antenna installed in the car.

Yes, this is correct. Your car must have the active TPMS system installed from the factory to see tire pressure data live. Most of the B9 and B9.5 are not factory fitted with the active TPMS system but instead a passive system that just looks at individual wheel speed to see if a tire is deflated or deflating.

With that said the B9 and B9.5 can add the active TPMS system with a full retrofit setup:

If you aren't sure if this product applies to your car just shoot over a VIN via email to check: contact@europrice.us

Cheers,

Audi is moving to a stricter security protocol which some of you have already run into this while trying to code simple things on your 2024 models. Due to this stricter protocol we have been preparing so that the activation service and other remote procedures are never interrupted.

We have moved away from the venerable, tried and true VAS5054A interface to the more advanced DoIP capable VAS6154A interface. These new VAS6154A interfaces will make activations faster plus after quite a bit of testing and sorting all of these interfaces that come with your order from Europrice will be fully updated to handle the newest SFD2 security protocols which are coming soon.

This means new activations and any re-activations for current customers will occur without skipping a beat when the newest security protocols are put into place, plus shorter activation times!

Don't get caught out with the wrong or non updated equipment that won't be able to activate everything that you want or even anything at all when SFD2 is fully implemented.

If you have any questions or needs other than those posted above please don't hesitate to PM or email: contact@europrice.us

Cheers!

In the case of anyone who wants to borrow or use a friend's or shop's VAS interface you can do the following.

Go here:

Website Link: Matrix LED Headlight Activation <-Click Link for More Information

Select: VAS Interface Rental ($300 Deposit Voided on Return)

You will still see that $300 deposit in your checkout but don't worry! When your order is processed that $300 deposit will be voided immediately. With that said make sure that the VAS5054A or VAS6154 is not the type that requires third party drivers. Also for any 2024 models you must have a VAS6154 on hand to do the activation.

A quick email before ordering if you plan to do this is advised just to confirm that the VAS interface you plan to use will work for your application and is the proper type: contact@europrice.us

Cheers,

a question here.
i have matrix LED headlight.

do i need to turn on auto high-beam for it to work?
will it work if there is no auto high-beam icon (i did not engage the auto high-beam)?

can this auto-high beam be permanently on when ever i start the car?
i need to manually engage it every time i start my car.
