You can enable the "low cost" version that does not display the actual pressures, but will warn if it detects a low tire using SDS.

Two Versions of TPMs
Basic = signal off of ABS sensors to detect a low tire...Will tell you that you have a low tire but not which one
Full = Requires a wire harness,control unit and rim sensors also a LOT of labor as the wire harness goes to each corner of the car then inside
I Had the FULL TPMs added to my 211 by MBENZNL.com along with a few other needed items..Please contact MBENZNL.com for current prices

Indirect: Measures wheel RPM through the ABS wheel speed sensors. Since tire pressure easily affects the RPM of the tire and wheel assembly the tire pressure warning light is tripped when it is outside a certain set threshold.
Direct: This uses a actual TPM sensor. There are actually two types ( magnetic and radio). The magnetic is not that common, but was usually and widely used as the initial type of TPM sensors. Now the industry has switched to using RF transmitter type TPM sensors. This method is by far more useful as it tells you actual tire pressures. Though it requires regular recalibration (from tire rotations, flats, tire replacements) and sensor replacement (dead batteries, or broken sensors).
You can buy systems that give you complete monitoring that includes realtime up to date tire pressures from www.tirerack.com who I believe is already a sponsor on these forums. They are made by Orange Electronic: http://www.tirerack.com/accessories/...nge+Electronic
Though honestly I wouldn't personally recommend it. I would HIGHLY recommend to everyone regardless of having TPMS or filling tires with nitrogen (which is a really good thing) to check your tire pressures bi-monthly, no matter what.

was 1996 MB C280, now 2007 MB E350
What did the retrofit cost from MBenzNL.com.
Also, how did they perform the service? As your location says Huntington Beach, CA and they are in the Netherlands.
Thanks for your input.

I have a 2008 E350, the TPMS light FLASHes when I start the engine, after a few minutes it stays on. The local wheelwork shop use a reader and found out my front passenger sensor is not working.
so my question is, can / how do I get the actual tire pressure ? and I also need to replace the sensor, will any sensor work, anyone know the part number ?

to Titan TPMS, where does it show individual kPa/psi/bar - Temp ? that sounds interesting
Is there a reader I need / can buy ? I dont think my E350 show any readings. I went through all the setting and still can not figure out how to get it to display the pressure.
