trying to tint my car, almost impossible to find 3M Crystalline ((((((( they all trying to sell me Ceramic or carbon film for almost $400.... i'd rather pay $200 and get crystalline... does anyone know how to find such installer?

You have to be moving. Never works while sitting parked but once moving the pressure shows up. And it's almost immediate, at least for me it has been.

Still you would see dashes

I don't think you get pressure unless you have the tech package

Bummer...is that something that could be turned on with a code?

[pikcachu]

i don't think so... i think the screen on the non-tech package doesn't account for the numbers in the screen width and it might even be that the tech package is what includes the receiver for the wheel's transmiter to receive the signal...

somebody could try to code it and see... worst case nothing will happen

Pressure HU_NBT 3000 RDC aktiv
Temperature HU_NBT 3001 RDC_SAFETY aktiv

$200 for Crystalline? Damn, I was quoted $1000 is San Diego. I just ended up going with SunTek CXP for $350, which I'm actually very happy with.

Besides:

Ahh, okay, except, how does it know that the status is green if there's no receiver?

cause the FTM uses rotational speed of the wheel to see if you have a flat... so basically if one wheel is spinning far slower than the others it assumes it's flat

FTM: The Flat Tire Monitor monitors tire pressures
while the car is being driven. The system
reports any significant loss of pressure in one
tire in relation to another.
If a tire loses pressure, its rolling radius
changes, and this in turn alters the speed of
rotation. This change is detected and is
reported as a flat tire.

TPM: TPM checks the inflation pressures of the four
mounted tires. The system notifies you if there
is a significant loss of pressure in one or more
tires.

Besides:

$200 more than Ceramic. ceramic is $400, crystalline they said will be around $600. they also told me if i bring the film, they can instal for approximately $200-$250 for the labor.

Non tech package F30 with TPMS gets the temp and pressure with coding. Should be the same for F22

[Vlad-Miami]

regarding this video - the guy is an idi0t. or maybe he works for suntek or whatever. rubbing crystalline film on the opposite side? seriously? that side sticks to glass, and for a reason.

[pikcachu]

well... maybe it's possible then....as long as you have metal stems
i gave the codes so somebody could try and report back

pretty dumb from BMW to leave the feature out for people...

can you post a picture of the smaller idrive screen with temp and pressure?

yes, we don't trust you LOL

[Vlad-Miami]

since we are discussing pressure. what are you guys using? Do you keep tires with factory suggested pressure? i find factory suggested crazy hard and waaay too much, so I keep all tires much lower. I don't want to feel like rolling on wooden wheels ))

I definitely have TPM, as shown in the photos in my post above.

I think the point is just that putting the dye layer on the outside of the tint film was a somewhat questionable decision by 3M. Basically, you put any sort of adhesive on your tint, and you run the risk of having to redo that window (imagine a little kid with stickers).

Anyway, probably not an issue for most people, but just something to be aware of before you spend big money on it.

I don't mean that... i just want to know how they fit all the numbers in the smaller screen

well to add to the confusion I think BMW just calls it TPM in the idrive regardless if you have FTM or TPMS...

So far, unchanged since I took delivery of the car. I find the ride to be really good. I'm honestly surprised given that I have RFTs.

i just use 32 and 38.... else you might wear them out unevenly and/or overheat them
