Did you mean that somewhere there is a menu and i cannot find it? Or you just didnt see this kind of cheapo system yet? I also thought it will be way out of the BMW style for them to make it this way, but they did.

- intermittent error like this does seem to be battery related... TPM in one or more of the wheels are going out. I replaced all 4 with new as it's going to happen anyway, at the same time I got new rubber. Better than having to break the bead again to replace another TPM.
- Our X (at least the '08s) did not indicate which specific tire.

Ok, looks like the "new" system is supposed to recognize each wheel individually, but it has never worked for me. Since I have the car for 2 years, the TPM has been working, but and sending a proper signalization when a tire is deflated. But wheels positions were never recognized and i couldnt diagnose which sensor was not working intermittently. For the last few weeks i have installed a rear right wheel from my parts car and when my rear left deflates slightly i get message "Rear right tire low"

The system in my 2011 X5 is not much more advanced than the RDC in my 2001 M5. Sure, the X5 has a pretty screen to look at if you have Navigation system but there's no interface and really no information displayed except that the system is 'OK.' That's about as much information I get with my M5 except for the pretty screen. You'd think 10 years of technological advances, a pressure sensor in each wheel and a 9" monitor would actually add something.

Finally Autel TPMS401 sensor reader could be found for under $100 and it is worth every cent of it. Traced my intermittent working sensor for 1 trip, after struggling for 1 year.

I also found they have universal TPMS sensors (obviously clone of the HUF ones) that are programmable for any car. Sensors are around $20-25 and the programmer ~$55. I plan to buy some and test them. You can directly clone any sensor with the serial #. |
