Tire pressure monitoring, digital speedo?

[kip1]

I have heard tire pressure monitoring is only available from 4/2014 and it might be standard equipment? Anyone hear this?

ALso wondering what the MY2015 might bring? Difgital speedo?

?... TPMS is standard. In fact it is required by law on vehicles in both USA and Europe.

"In the United States, the United States Department Of Transportation (NHTSA) released the FMVSS No. 138, which requires an installation of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System to all new passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kg (10,000 lbs.) or less, except those vehicles with dual wheels on an axle, as of 2007. In the European Union, starting November 1, 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS, with even tighter specifications that will be defined by the UNECE Vehicle Regulations (Regulation No. 64). From November 1, 2014, all new passenger cars sold in the European Union must be equipped with TPMS."

When checked mine displays OK.
Someone posted their results, it actually displayed PSI per tire.
I wish mine could do that.

Its an option in some parts of Europe. Maybe the older system, like the one on the E70 is standard and the one with the actual pressure readings is an option...

In many parts of Europe its an option, 500 euros for me: 2vb code.

Canada uses ABS to check Flat Tire Monitor.
US uses TPMS in valve stems.

If in valve stems then you may need 8 if you get snows.
