Got it on my 2011--although I never use it.
I check my tires the old fashion way after each wash--just habit now.
I wonder how accurate it is--I'll check it against my gauge some time.

Yes
So can this be addressed through a SW update - anyone get confirmation from a dealer?

I tried to take pictures for everyone, but apparently you have to drive the car "a few minutes" before it will register!
I took a couple snap shots of the menu before entering the TPMS and a picture of the "notice"
My car is cleaned and stored for the winter so I wasn't going to get it dirty for you guys
I did drive up and down my driveway a dozen times or so (hitting the brakes hard)--I had to knock the rust off the rotors at some point--my neighbors must think I am a true nutcase

at least you all have an AMG cluster now, maybe someone can PS the two together--from memory, it looks the same as the first pic posted.

enjoy

Does your display remember the screen you were on when the car was shut off and return to that display when you restart it or does it always start out on the odometer display?

I'm pretty sure it starts in the last menu--I always drive int eh AMG menu and I don't think I scroll to it everytime--let me check....

yes it does remember the menu you were in last.

Excellent! That should mean that a SW update can provide this functionality.

get this, my tranny button doesn't "remember" being in S mode after the car is shut off--I have to switch from C to S everytime I drive the car--I know I'm not the only member that has this "problem" MB tweaks all kinds of stuff on these cars from year to year--so I would assume an updated software fix may have the same result on your c/s/m button...thought I'd let everyone know this.
it's not a big deal to switch the button--I'm thinking it is becasue they want us to drive in C mode until the car warms up--it works because I do it everytime, but I would anyway

The TPMS only works when the car is in motion - There is a centrifugal switch in the sensor to turn it on when the wheel reaches a certain RPM. If it worked all the time, the batteries in the sensors would last about 8 weeks. That is why it won't tell you if the tire lost pressure while sitting there.

The sensors are quite accurate - I have one that always reads 1 lb. less than the actual pressure. The other three are spot on. (This is regularly checked against two different tire gauges, as I don't trust tire gauges, either).

Finally, if the warning light goes off regularly without cause, it is probably because you need to reset the warning system. It goes off if tire pressure drops 4-5 psi below your pre-set pressures. Always re-set the warning system when the tires are cold.

I was gonna say, I hit a nasty pothole in DC last year, and the TPMS started freaking out. It let me have enough time to get to a parking lot off of the main road (Georgia Ave). I'm a big fan of the system.

My 2009 C63 does not have tire display, screen always starts at odometer transmission will remain in sport.

2010 GlK no tire display, screen starts at odometer tranny stays where it was at.

2011 C300 loaner has tire display, screen starts where you left it tranny goes back to C mode.

Obviously these were all planned changes which I like except for the C mode.

hhughes is correct. This is a change on the 2010 models and forward. You get TPMS pressure on each wheel, car starts with the last screen and it starts in C mode.
If someone can check if this can be a software update, that would be great but I am willing to bet that that it is not possible or they will charge an arm and a leg. They want you to trade up lol

I hate that, i don't understand why MB would do that on this car.

iatacs19 did a fimrware upgrade and I wonder if it affected the TPMS display. I asked him in this thread, but he hasn't replied yet https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...ml#post4413777

I don't know. You can definitely update the COMMAND software using a CD. You can also reflash the ECU. As to the control panel, I am not sure if it is a separate update or a part of the COMMAND update.

My 2010 had it....After i put new aftermarket wheels on and aftermarket tpms I no longer get individual readings. Im currently trying to find a answer on how to get that option back. It just says tire pressure correct. NOT happy.

2009 C63
Has anyone heard if any updates are available to enable the display of all 4 tires pressures on 2009 C63s? I find it rather annoying that the warning comes on while you are driving and never know if its just a minor issue or something that needs to be addressed immediately. For me it has always been a small decrease in tire pressure but requires me to get off the road and check. Anyhow, when I spoke to someone at corporate about a year or so ago, I was told they had nothing at that time. I havent checked recently. Any updates would be appreciated!

Just FYI - the TPMS symbol will flash red (as opposed to solid yellow / orange) when there's a quick drop or super low pressure.

My 2012 used to flash reminders of my tire pressures from time to time. No warnings, just showing me what pressures I had. But I have not seen those automatic updates lately. Now, I have to check tire press through the settings.
