Tyre pressure monitoring system for Gen 8

Postby Merkin on Fri, 25 Nov 2016 8:39 +0000

Has anyone been using a tyre pressure monitoring system in the new gen 8 model?
im wondering if there is an input in the back of the head unit to run an aftermarket one thru the genuine screen, or ive seen these on fleabay, that are wireless and use a display through the blanks n the dash

i wonder whether they would fit into the spare blanks on the dash?
i thought about a separate unit (tyre dog etc), but lack of spots to mount the screen means im looking at other options.....
