Retrofitted Active TMPS Seat Leon MK4

[Antera]

I was looking for some upgrade for my Leon en found something it doesnt have from factory but want to try it on my car.

I found a kit with a active TMPS reciever and 4 sensors for in the wheels.

TMPS Set

Doesnt look to hard to install so i did give it a go. It worked on previous models so why not on my car.

Ordered the parts and start fitting all in the car. This was not that easy as i tought at first. First connected them to the DCC canbus wires but the module wasn't visible. First i tought i have a bad module en looked for a second hand one to try iff that is the problem. It wasn't. .

So i need to look for another solution. Because this is never mounted on a Leon i have to find out where the canbus wires need to be connected. Download a few wiring diagrams from other cars to figure it out. It took me a while to see why it wasnt working. The canbus was connected to the wrong Canbus wires and i need to connect the wires at the gateway on the right wires.

The canbus wires need to be connected on the right canbus wires wich are comming from the gateway or else it wont work.

After i finialy have time to do so i connected them to the wires at the gateway and finaly i found the module with vcds/odis. Now we are there. Now putting in the right dataset for my car to get it all working. I wanted to select wich load the car have with wich pressure in the wheels. Started some coding to get it al visible and the car needs to now its now active TMPS and not anymore with the ABS Sensors.

And see the results

Wow!!! It's awesome. Something I'd like to have in my Leon. We'll have a look at it. Do you have a brico with the steps to install and configure? Thanks.

This looks really good! Can you provide more detailed instructions regarding where to connect the receiver unit, and what coding is needed to enable it?

 

[Antera]

I dont have a manual.

You need to connect on the gateway Pin 8 and 9 and the reciever left at the outside off the rear wheel arch

it would be great if you could like a manual on how to do it

I did today and you can find it when it is approved by 1 off the mods

Tyres - DIY Active TMPS MQB-Evo

Omdat ik met succes bandenspanningssensoren achteraf in de wielen heb gemonteerd, heb ik een handleiding gemaakt om het zelf te doen. Dit is geen optie op deze auto's maar het is wel mogelijk :) Als je vragen kunt stellen, maar je hebt enige...

It's a pity we need expensive software to do it. I would even attempt to do it my self if I could.

Nice work and great guide!

Can I recommend adding a step about noting the serial numbers before the sensors are installed? Hopefully most people will read the full guide first but it might catch someone out when they get to step 40 and realise they need the numbers from the sensors after they've been fitted..

Found a good looking alternative for anyone who doesn't want all the installation hassle too: https://shop.autogem.co.uk/product/retro-fit-tpms-bj03/tpms-retrofit-kit-with-display-tpak01

Man, you must talk with Seat for copyright and offer them this service to be done by them ! And get paid to you

 

[Kaxolo]

would you be able to show how you made the connection to the fuses? that´s the only part I´m not sure about.

 

[Antera]

Dissonnect the fusebox and unlock the pins and put 1 in. Dont have docu on this

 

[Kaxolo]

Thank you Antera. Will you still get the warning from the car if you have a puncture? The other day I hit something on the road and burst a tyre, in 5 seconds I got a message in the cockpit saying the tyre was low.

Tje tmps light is flashing in the dash when pressure is below the specs. And in infotainment you can see wich tyre.

It always take 1 km to get the sensor get out off rest modus and showinf the pressure
