So after extensive research found that there are two types of systems, one that uses ABS sensors to measure rotational speed of tires and one that uses actual sensors inside the tires, how do I find which one I have, check the stems, rubber is the run flat warning using ABS, metal is the TPMS.
Found that I have the rubber one even though as I read on US production models it's standard from '14 as I read and this's a US production !
Any way so it's time for my first retrofit 
Searched online for appropriate TPMS and found alot OEM and aftermarket, decided to go with VDO oem part#S180052056H or SE52056 from *********.
Eventhough I wasn't sure if the car has the required receivers or if it needed a module installation since on older cars they had to add it, but I read on an an f30 that HU_NBT units had the module already built in but still no way to be sure !
As soon as the sensors were delivered I added 2VB to FA, went to the tire shop, removed the rubber stems, fitted the sensors and drove of waiting for the numbers to pop up...nothing ! All I got was measuring tire pressure and no progress indicator or anything 
Back to the posts, after extensive reading found that some additional coding is needed to activate the TPMS under 4 modules "Kombi,HU_NBT,Body and DSC"
At first I had VO coded 3 of them only so it was still not operational, once VO code all 4 ECU's reset the sensor from car screen and start driving ,it was ON  |
Hello! Purchased the valves with pressure sensors, used Carly for BMW app, and nothing, only the dashes (-) on pressure and temp.
When you refer to the Bimmerapp, which app is that? Bimmercode??
