TPMS Tire Pressure Monitor Retrofit

Hello,

Has anyone done a TPMS retrofit on the G05?

I have found these for the F30:

1. Add tire pressure and temperature to the TPMS display

2. F30/F20 TPMS Retrofit

I have the rubber tire valves, not the metal ones, meaning the ABS monitors my run-flat tires by measuring the rotation of the wheel. I want to upgrade this to display tire pressure and temperature. I understand I need a control module, antenna, and 4 tire sensor valves.

Here is the retrofit for a E or F series vehicle: BimmerRetrofit TPMS

Is something available for my G05?

Are you saying the hardware is already there?

Huh? yeah, TPMS sensors are already in the wheels and report pressure and temp. You need to code the car to "show" the temp.

Nope ... TPMS equipment is NOT installed in my vehicle. My OP explains the situation above.

atlas : Those sensors still need the control module and antenna to operate. They are only suitable for vehicles that already have TPMS installed.

I emailed BimmerRetrofit about their OEM product. They confirm the following product is also compatible with G series vehicles.

BimmerRetrofit TPMS

It's on my list of things to do ...

Hello Nigel, just to clarify, I retrofitted the TPMS on my G05 with just adding the sensors, no additional hardware was needed. Since 2015 of the F series, this could be done without any additional antennas or modules, just the sensors, and I can confirm this because I've done it on my cars.

However, as described above, you need to code

I made a small description here:

Send me a message if you have any additional questions

Thanks mate, I'm going to give it a go.

Where did you get your sensors from?

Ummmm..... I'm confused.

Aren't ALL new X5s equipped with the same TPMs?

If you want to be able to read pressure and temperature, everything is already there, isn't it? All you have to do is activate it in Bimmercode. I activated it in my car, and no "mechanical" work or additional hard parts were necessary.

What am I missing? Are some TPMs in some X5s different??

Nope!

Not necessarily. The standard TPMS works off the ABS, measuring the rotation of the wheels. The optional upgrade to display the temperature and pressure requires the tyre valves to be replaced and coding.

Interesting! What colour are your tyre valve stems?

Whatever this is. Black? Silver?

Either way, these are what came on my car when new, and I had no problem activating tire pressure and temperature readings on bimmercode. In fact, it didn't even require "expert" level coding. Quick, easy, painless.

The exact same was true on my 2016 340i msport as well. No "mechanical" work needed to be done to view pressure/temp. Just simple coding.

Hello,

Have you checked your build sheet? The 50i comes standard with TPMS on the USA build sheet. You have the digital valves already equipped. I think your vehicle should have been displaying tyre pressure right out of the factory.

Hi Nigel,

Did it work for you? What parts did you require?

Thanks, vesmar

Mate,

Because of Covid-19 I've never gotten around to doing this. It's on the bucket list.

Thanks for the reply mate. I am considering doing the same thing on my Australian stock X6 G06, but am not sure if we need a control module and antenna or just the valves and coding.

How did you get on? I have just fitted the sensors tried bimmer code. No luck

I have not yet pulled the plug. What sensors did you get? Apparently some non-OEM sensors may require programming / calibration. I booked my car for a recall service at the end of Oct and will ask the service advisor whether the control module and antenna were fitted to the car.

You need VO coding.
Bimmercode doesn't have that capability.

I have spoken with the service department manager at my BMW dealership, and at least according to him, simple retrofit by installing sensors and coding will not work on my X6 G06 40i since the control module and antenna are not factory fitted in Australian models I wish someone here in Australia could prove him wrong.

Hopefully someone in OZ that has been purchasing from me and got it to work can chime in.
