Just come across these TPMS at Kufatec. Might be of interest to some:

The part number for the RS6 C5 is 4F0-907-275 C and 4F0-907-275 B for the C6 RS6. They look the same, but I suspect the frequencies might be different.

Apparently Beru make the sensors (or compatible ones)

No special attention. Just make sure they don't break it. You can change the valve cores, no problem. They are standard.
Interesting picture - i see the RFID transmitter is 433MHz which is the same frequency as most the devices in my home automation system. This means if the signal is strong enough when the car is my drive I should be able to examine what the receiver is receiving, log the pressures and detect any variance! The car should be close enough as there's already a sensor under my front seat that's read by the house when the car comes home (or leaves) - check out the front drive at http://217.155.28.94:8080/stat (guest & guest). :-)

[quote="philroach]what is the sonos system like , have been sniffing around that myself[/quote]

of all the gadgets I've bought over the years - and you can see there are many! - Sonos is the one that gets used the most on a daily basis and by all the family... It's so easy to use - even my wife uses it. Coupled with a Napster subscription I can play any of 8 million tunes anytime. :-)

It is expensive but I think it's worth it. Don't buy their remote / controller though - I use an iPod Touch.

Picked up the car last night after the front two sensors were replaced FOC. Got 4 miles down the road .. then the dreaded TPMS warning came back on. These things are a right pain in the chuff!!

On the bright side, I did get my free wipers and my free alloy refurb too ;)

Never thought about re-storing the pressures. All I get is the orange picture of a tyre with a '!' and a line through it. Will try to re-store the pressures and see what happens.

would have thought the dealer would have done that when they replaced the sensors?!

That's what I had - dealer stuck it on their computer and said one of the monitors had failed.

I get that when I turn the sensors off.

Yes I had that symbol when I first got the car - wondered what it was - its either when the system is switched off OR, like me, I didnt have any sensors fitted!!!!

So, once I fitted the new sensors, I switched the system off, then on again, then stored the pressures. And (fingers crossed, touch wood and all that) its still working. These were the orange BERU sensors I got from Alloywheelsdirect.net!
