So I just got my VW a month ago (as I mentioned here before) and when I was reading about the TPMS in the feature set, I assumed it was like in the GM cars I had rented before, where you can see each individual tire's pressure. But of course it's not that simple. I see no option in the MFI for that or in the user's manual. Looks like it only pops up if there are warnings.
Anyone know if there's anyway to get this info at all? I know you're supposed to check tire pressure pretty regularly, but I'm lazy and hate bending down to take a pressure reading. If the sensor's are there, they have to be more accurate than what I could read with my gauge anyway.
For those interested, I found this good post from a Google search. Good technical details from a Phaeton's and Touareg's TPMS. I'm guessing the Golf's system can't be that different... but maybe I'm wrong.
