A few weeks ago, I got a light on my dash that I hate, especially when it's raining and I'm far from home:

I was able to get home by inflating the tires with my beloved mobile compressor.

So I could drive back to my favorite service station who was able to help me out

It turned out I had this shitty visitor in my front right tire. Torx screw, so I guess the previous owner was someone with style :-D

Which triggered me to get the parts for direct TPMS, because I've been missing this feature that I had in my previous 2 cars and gave me a sense of security and safety while driving. And this week, the goodies arrived!

Let's hope there's power and CAN signal in the back of the car, so I don't have to pull the wiring all the way to the front of the car!

Never buy TPMS in China; they’re all fake. Unless it’s from the official after-sales system, but the price will be extremely expensive
Original Cupra Formentor doesn’t have this as standard?
And the facelifted model, it doesn’t have it either?
Unfortunately not. At least, not in the Netherlands

In the Formentor, the sensors are built into the ABS, and only during rotation can the car indicate a change in pressure from the one you set as the norm after inflating all the tires. They don't know the exact pressure.
Hmm… Why are you going to install the antenna on the 4m0… MLB-EVO hardware instead of the 5q0907273 hardware MQB/EVO?
I hope you didn’t buy antenna from Ali
No, from a local seller in the Netherlands.
The chinese envelope in the corner of the the image is from some sunglasses-screws that I did get from Ali :-D

The telephone amplifier has the necessary power and is located in the same area.
