In the F series BMW, we can actually code the our TPMS values to be displayed on our idrive system. I personally used to drive with this display on quite often out of habit. Long story short, I had a slow leak in one of my tires so It was nice to be able to monitor that from time to time until I had it repaired. This also displays the temperature as well, of each tire. Note: You must have factory TPMS sensors in order for this to work.

We will be using the application called Bimmercode to code this feature out, you can download the app for IOS or ANDROID. Check if your car is compatible HERE.

Bimmercode’s website suggests using the Veepeak Bluetooth Adapter, in order to connect your phone to the car via bluetooth.

You can use Code: YTBDST15 at checkout to receive 15% off of your purchase.

Let’s jump into the coding process!

Open bimmercode, plug your Veepeak Adapter into the OBD2 port (located near your left foot in the driver’s side footwell)

Select your adapter: Veepeak OBDCheck BLE, then select your vehicle (In my case, BMW 3 Series, F30)

This is extremely easy to code into our cars. Fire up Bimmercode, hop into headunit, then DISPLAY OPTIONS IDRIVE SYSTEM and make sure that Pressure and temperature in tpms is set to active.

Go ahead and code in the top right, viola!

Like I said, piece of cake. If you would like to watch my full video tutorial, you can do so here:
