Tpms

[ricostuart]

So after all the fun in sorting out nee tires, I managed to get a puncture in the old one! Was planning to do a big burnout before swapping them. Oh well. Anyway, the car didn't notify my about the puncture. It should have though. Any ideas why?

[F.A.]

Because no IS in the UK is fitted with TPMS

that cant be right - the car i test drove (exact same model/year/etc as mine) had tpms. On the right hand toggle button (where you can adjust dial speed light ring) had tpms options showing up.

[F.A.]

Does yours have this option? I'm very surprised by this. Mine is the top spec model for this year group ( apart from the IS-F of course) and it doesn't come with it. I'm pretty sure it wasn't on the options list either. I wonder if this can be retro fitted?

[ricostuart]

mine doesnt it seems, but the one i test drove 100% did.

[F.A.]

Maybe it was a 2012 model year car on an 11 plate?

[ricostuart]

that is a slight posibility, i did test drive it in may/june. It had a couple thou miles on it.

[F.A.]

Hopefully someone can confirm that their car has TPMS fitted so that we can find out if it can be retrofitted. I know its been available on the USA IS 's for some time now. The 3rd Gen GS also had it fitted in the UK
