Where in SDS is it----Control units---?----adaptations---....
I assume my cluster does not have the "!" indicator for tire----It will just show the check pressures and "tire defective" light in white or red on center IC display?

I believe it takes wheel speed variance between both sides----if both tires are low the light will not idicate-----if you pick up a nail and one tire goes low it should display?

Passive to active
I got my W219 with regular TPMS... wonder if SDS can turn it into an "active" TPMS (where I can see individual # on all 4 tires) without any hardware added...

The system that tells you the actual pressure has sensor mounted next to each tire on the car to receive a radio signal from the pressure sensor located in the rim. There is no way for the car to determine the pressure without this hardware. It can only monitor if there is a significant change in pressure by the rotating speed of the tire and give you a generic low tire warning.

You will need a Wire harness/sensors x4/control unit and a LOT of labor to have Active TPMs
It can be done but its not a cheap mod

Some dealers are willing to activate it using their computers to alter the programing of the cars computer, as these cars are programmed differently for different countries and different model years.
