cozzykim Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Hi folks, I'm wading through all the new stuff on my 981 'S', coming from a much simpler 987.2 2.9. From the tyre valve stems it appears to have TPMS, but I can't find out how to access this in the dash display. The menus are seemingly endless, so, if you know how to do this I'd be grateful.

Menoporsche Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I don't have a 981 but mine aren't visible on tyre valve stems, it's inside the wheel. Otherwise I wonder if there's a handover issue where it's been forgotten. Or also possible, coded out - if the previous owner didn't want to cough up for new batteries after the old ones expired, and found the warning light irritating.

Carmine Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 Are you sure your car has them? I think you had a VIN check done - was it listed as an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozzykim Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I haven't really checked the list yet. I suppose I should look at it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 I thought everything from 2012 in the UK had TPMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 No, it was more like any new car type-approved after 1 Nov 2012 had to include TPMS. The 981 was type approved before that so cars built up the end of the 2014 model year (July 2014 build and earlier) had TPMS as an option. For the 2015 model year (August/Sept 2014 onward) it was standard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozzykim Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 MIne doesn't have TPMS, according to the options list. It does have red seatbelts, and not black as on the list, so maybe they were added later. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianJ Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 My 2013 981 did not have (then optional) TPMS and hence no visibility of it on screen. My 2016 car does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted April 4, 2023 Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 From what I have heard, its the 1 option you would not want (and the one option my car doesn't have ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cozzykim Posted April 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2023 The excitement of getting a 981S has made me giddy. That's my excuse anyway. 😁 It's got my must haves: PDK PSE DAB Dual zone air con Phone connection Sports steering wheel wiv da proper paddles. Heated seats What it hasn't got (that I specifically didn't want): Sports Chrono, (PADM too expensive if it breaks, and losing my licence at the traffic lights). What it hasn't got that would have been useful: Memory seats, ('cos the missus wants to drive it now we have PDK) A 20% cashback ('cos it was bloomin' expensive with pretty low miles) 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
