How to know if my vehicle has RDC TMPS receiver?
Hi everyone,
I’m going to upgrade my TMPS into RDC TMPS, which could show temp and the psi instead of showing my tire pressure is good. But I just wonder if my vehicle has the receiver of this type of sensor. Does someone know how to check if my vehicle has it or not? BTW, I’m in Canada, and this vehicle seems to be made in Germany, and it is 2016 335i GT XDrive. Thank you guys.

If you don't have RDC then you'd probably need to add an RDC receiver module as well as sensors, and you'd probably have to do VO coding to get it to work.

I understand I need to code it, but just wonder if it has the receiver. Someone told me it has... And does your vehicle have the temp and psi reading? |

Mine has the PSI, and I assume the temp as well, but I've never bothered to code it to active. I can see that feature as useful on the track, but otherwise not so much. You can use https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...t/search?q=rdc to find the RDC receiver location and see if you have one. I doubt it, it wouldn't seem likely BMW would put one on a car that doesn't have the RDC system.

It's very easy to find out/ code if you have the Bimmercode app (~$30 from Google Playstore) and an OBDII Bluetooth adapter like VeePeak (another $30 or so from Amazon). It will also offer you a whole host of other coding options. Definitely a recommended investment!

The OP does not have TPMS with that readout on iDrive. It's standard in the US, but not in Canada. He's asking if he can retrofit it. He can't code what he doesn't have.
