The USA has required some sort of tire monitoring for the past few years. VW was using full TPMS in the USA to fulfill this requirement in Golf/GTI and Jetta through 2010, and did not offer the FTI for those models at all. For 2011 on the Golf/Jetta/GTI VW has changed course and decided to use FTI instead, and TPMS is not offered. We here in the USA (and Canada) do not have as much choice in options and configuration as you do in the UK, or the Rest of the World (ROW). We only get what VWoA condescends to offer us.
