weird cause i was just wondering if i can retro fit tpms into my rabbit. I was thinking that i couldn't because there is no lamp in the dash that shows the tire with the exclamation light
reading this, i once again believe its possible. Does any one know what i have to do to get tpms working besides the sensors?

Holy cow, this is interesting:
"Central Locking and Anti-Theft System Antenna -R47- receives signals from tire pressure sensors."

wow so its radio transmitted? I just had to have a tire patched and I was a little concerned that the tire place wouldn't properly hook up the sensors. Guess theres no need to worry about that.

yes, both the tpms sensors and the remote send a signal to the CCM. The tpms module is physically part of the CCM.

cool info. I almost constantly had my tpms light on everytime I autocrossed or changed rims. I just vaged it so the light never came on again. Still cool infor though.

if you buy stock wheels from other sellers here with tires from factory which they took off coz of ugrades...would it have the TPMS with it? and what happened to those people that changed theyre wheels to aftermarket? is the LOW PRESSURE light comes on all the time?

2 dumb questions:
1. When i get new wheels can i transplant the sensors even if the wheels are a different size?
2. If i use fix-a-flat will they get messed up?

most new wheels will accept them. you really should check fitment before buying, if tpms is a concern.
A transplant requires new guts or whatever for the valve stems. Ask dealer (not my dealer cause they are mostly DOA). Some make the change without a problem but new guts are recommended.
Also, the light is not that annoying. A small piece of tape or whatever would cover it if it bothers you. We have 2 with winter tires and permanent light is on in both. Vag-com can turn light off I've read.
