I have the same factory Michelin All Seasons and they are good in winter but there is still a big improvement with Studless Snow. If you decide on another set of tires consider wheels also. I bought Michelin Xi2’s and nice looking wheels for less than $2000. On past vehicles it isn’t really that costly if you keep your vehicle long enough since both sets eliminate the need to replace tires at 30-40m miles.

There is no TPMS sensor in Audi. It works by monitoring the revs-as a tire loses pressure the system recognizes the change. There is a relearn mode that can be used if you change tires or make a significant change in the pressure you run. I prefer the sensor like my GMC has because I can see all tire pressures and detect a slow leak.

I don’t know about all Audi’s but my 2018 SQ5 does not have them. I doubt any late model has them. Check your owners manual or dealer for your model. You might get a laugh out of the Audi Parts guy if you call and ask for pricing.... I assume you could add them to the wheels but then you would need to buy something to read them.
thanks ill I’ll verify with Audi when I go for service.
thanks again

I’m having the same issue selecting a wiring adapter for our SQ5 that’s on order. We already have a Prodigy P2 in our current Explorer that I’d like to reuse. I too came to the conclusion that the Audi Curt controller still needs an adapter that no one seems to sell or specify.
I ran into the eBay listing below and wanted to know if anyone had bought one. Looks like what I would make myself, but neater. I’d like to go this route because I can keep my existing controller.

Did you get your prodigy p2 hooked up with your sq5? And did you use the ebay harness?
