Thank you baby jesus! Better TPMS display coming for 2012MY

We all know the drill. Get a flat, TMPS light comes on, and you get the “tire pressure too low” warming on the MFI. Then the guessing game starts which tire is low on air?!

For 2012 VW is updating the TPMS warning to show individual pressure on each tire.
