Coding on that screen is fine, you need to check coding in 17 instruments first pair of non 0 digits should be 48

Also check the coding in control head if you are missing the menu item from the systems dialogue on the mmi

Once you have that all sorted go into the tyre pressure menu and choose initialise then go for a decent drive

Good luck

Yep all that is good.
So its a case of give it a drive? Came back across town once wheels were done. Should i hit the dual cabbageway later?
Its telling me to put key in and turn ignition on to configure the system, could it be do that and wait for 5 or 10 mins?

You changed yours again Del, or is initialising necessary after some activities?

I'm still debating whether to have mine sorted when I fit the original wheels or just do without them.

Same here in that I just swapped off my winters for summer tyres. Taking the opportunity to have the wheels refurbished. Problem is that now I have no clue which wheel came from which corner... Does anyone know if this needs to be coded - or can this be set through the "initialise" routine on the MMI?
