![]() That being said, I did a quick search on aftermarket direct tpms options and there are a few to choose from. The one plus to indirect tpms is that I didn’t have to spend $100+ on each sensor (assuming they’d be that much because Audi). I found this out when researching new wheels and was going to buy new sensors and couldn’t find them anywhere. I do believe that the 2018+ now have a direct tpms, but I’m not 100% certain of that. Unfortunately, we have an indirect tpms in the RS5. The main drawback from indirect is that you can’t specify which tire is losing air, and if all four are losing pressure you still wont get a notification as the rpm of each wheel is consistent. The speed sensor detects the rpm of all four wheels, and when one has lower pressure than the others the rpm drops in comparison and then your tpms light comes on. Indirect tpms uses the abs speed sensor to notify that you’re losing tire pressure in general. The direct tpms also specifies which tire is low. ![]() Direct tpms use four sensors, one located in each wheel, to notify when you’ve lost pressure. There are two different types of tpms, direct and indirect.
